The Digital Revolution Begins

A quiet revolution is unfolding—and it’s powered by artificial intelligence. As the world accelerates into a digital-first future, young leaders must not only be dreamers, but also digital builders. The recent AI Hacks Unleashed workshop, organized by Tafadzwa in collaboration with The Digital Village, was a bold step in that direction. The workshop was facilitated by the Esteemed Mr Addi Mavengere.

Held with the goal of raising awareness and inspiring action, the workshop brought together a vibrant group of emerging leaders, entrepreneurs, and students from across sectors. Participants were not only introduced to AI, but equipped with practical tools, systems, and knowledge that could immediately transform their work. From content generation and automation to decision-making and strategic insight, the possibilities unlocked were eye-opening.

More than just a technical training, AI Hacks Unleashed was a call to action. In a world where technology is advancing faster than ever, being left behind is no longer an option. The truth is, AI is not a threat—it’s a tool. And those who learn to harness it will shape the future.

As Next Leaders Forum, we believe every young Zimbabwean must be part of the digital conversation. AI awareness and adoption are no longer luxuries for the privileged—they are necessities for those who want to lead, create, and innovate in today’s world.

We celebrate Tafadzwa and The Digital Village for lighting the spark. Now it’s time for the flame to spread. We encourage every young leader reading this: learn AI, experiment, fail forward, and stay curious. The future doesn’t belong to those who fear technology—it belongs to those who lead it.

Stay tuned for more forums, workshops, and digital leadership programs. The journey has just began
