<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-77756" src="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG-20251212-WA0006.jpg" alt="" width="1017" height="1484" srcset="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG-20251212-WA0006.jpg 1017w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG-20251212-WA0006-206x300.jpg 206w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG-20251212-WA0006-702x1024.jpg 702w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG-20251212-WA0006-768x1121.jpg 768w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG-20251212-WA0006-150x219.jpg 150w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG-20251212-WA0006-450x657.jpg 450w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1017px) 100vw, 1017px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Dungeon LLC was established in 2021 in United States of America (USA) and South Africa.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">The Ennerdale born businessman who is known as Ndabezitha, said that his dream is to outsource South Africans to work in the USA.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-77754" src="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG-20251212-WA0007.jpg" alt="" width="872" height="966" srcset="https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG-20251212-WA0007.jpg 872w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG-20251212-WA0007-271x300.jpg 271w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG-20251212-WA0007-768x851.jpg 768w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG-20251212-WA0007-150x166.jpg 150w, https://mdntvlive.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/IMG-20251212-WA0007-450x499.jpg 450w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 872px) 100vw, 872px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;Growing up in Soweto taught me to persevere and not give up on my goals, no matter what the circumstances might look like. I am that person who is very proud of my roots. thought me. Coming to the USA was not easy as I had to adjust to the new faces, new environment and and the weather. I had to start afresh and build contact luckily for me I have experience working of working for the SABC back at home in the production side so it was easy for me to establish new network,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Vusumuzi said that his Uncle Samuel Mbatha who is the Head of Mamelodi Sundowns development always reminded him that the duty is to lift those who come behind them to lift them up while and stand together.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;When I arrived in the US, I started the business of buying and selling cars on the streets.That business helped me start Dungeon LLC which I established back at home and US. Dungeon LLC then gave birth to Dungeon Trucking. The contract gave me a platform which was the beginning of everything,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Dungeon LLC is a logistic company bridging the gap in economic access leadership expansion and the environmental benefits of renewable energy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;With Dungeon Trucking I hired 10 American people in order to give back to the country and eventually my aim is to begin sourcing South Africans too. That contract gave me a lot of experience and knowledge with the US trucking industry. The current political environment has forced me to speed up my goals of extending my business aspirations into South Africa sooner than later.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;Some of the things I would like to see happen between the South African government and South Africans in American is that the SA government establishes community liaisons through organizations like Imbizo Host Committee that can engage the diaspora community at large on various levels,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">He said that another important piece is backing South Africans that are seeking to establish organizations or projects that are beyond just entertainment but building power as a community.</p>

<p>Now in its thirteenth year, the AABLA<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> continues to celebrate the continent’s most dynamic and visionary leaders. For more than a decade, it has showcased stories of perseverance, enterprise, and purpose, reinforcing the power of business leadership to drive positive change and sustainable growth in Africa.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the past year, Africa’s economic resilience and innovation have stood out on the global stage. According to the African Development Bank’s 2025 outlook, the continent’s average GDP growth is projected at 3.8%, with several economies – including Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, and Côte d’Ivoire – experiencing a strong recovery driven by entrepreneurship, digital transformation, and intra-African trade. Venture funding into African start-ups surpassed US$4 billion, demonstrating global confidence in the continent’s innovation potential.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Platforms such as the AABLA<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> are therefore more vital than ever, as they shine a spotlight on the businesses and leaders who are redefining the narrative of Africa, transforming it from a continent of potential into one of proven performance and global influence.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Previous recipients of AABLA<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> honours include Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, former President of the African Development Bank Group (AfDB); Econet Group; Dr. Imtiaz Sooliman, Founder of the Gift of the Givers Foundation; Prof. Benedict Oramah, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Afreximbank; Melvyn Lubega, Executive Chairperson, Baobab Group; Daniel Ndima, CEO of CapeBio; Mohammed Dewji, President, MeTL Group; Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director-General of the World Trade Organisation; and Aliko Dangote, President and CEO of Dangote Group; Nedbank; Ivan and Lynette Saltzman, Founders of Dis-Chem Pharmacies. Each embodies the vision that continues to shape Africa’s economic future.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This year’s awards will recognise excellence across several categories:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>All Africa Sports, Arts &amp; Culture Award</p>
<p>All Africa Innovator of the Year</p>
<p>All Africa Businesswoman of the Year</p>
<p>All Africa Chief Financial Officer of the Year</p>
<p>All Africa Company of the Year</p>
<p>All Africa Business Leader of the Year</p>
<p>All Africa Chairperson of the Year</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Speaking ahead of the event, Roberta Naicker, Managing Director of the ABN Group, said,</p>
<p>“The All Africa Business Leaders Awards were created to recognise not just commercial success but meaningful leadership. Each winner represents the values of integrity, vision, and innovation that continue to define Africa’s business landscape.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since its inception, the All Africa Business Leaders Awards (AABLA<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />) have become synonymous with recognising excellence, strengthening confidence in African enterprise, and showcasing the continent’s leadership potential to the world.</p>
