Gonjetso Chinyama, 21, creates online real estate portal
Malawi-based entrepreneur Gonjetso Chinyama is the founder of Pakwathu, a website that allows users to search properties based on location, price range, property type and more. Chinyama noticed that the only place Malawi residents could learn about property for sale was in the newspaper, and these only listed a handful of expensive options. He wanted to make it easy for those looking even outside the main cities of Malawi—like farmers—to find property. Chinyama created the site while still studying Management Information systems in college.Source: Howwemadeitinafrica.com
