Fungai Ndemera is a successful multi-entrepreneur, angel investor business mentor and STEM ambassador.

Fungai has over 20 years of experience in entrepreneurship, digital transformation, culture and BAME ((black, Asian and minority ethnic) health behaviours. She arrived in the UK as an immigrant and could barely speak English. With her GCSE level and a Diploma in nursing, she turned out to be a successful businesswoman and innovator. She is passionate about supporting entrepreneurs, BAME/minorities and the health sector in developing effective inclusive digital transformation solutions.

In Episode 16 of Story Untold ZW we sat with Fungai Ndemera & discussed her journey from immigrant nurse to health tech CEO. We also talked about the next phase of her career – starting a VC to “finance African entrepreneurship at grassroots level”.

    She could barely speak English, but had GCSE level education and a Diploma in nursing. 🤔

      This isn’t the grand observation you think it is. ZIMSEC was established in the mid 90s right? Most people who went to school during 80s & 90s had “GCSE level education”.

        And, what does the change to ZIMSEC, have to do with speaking English?

        You have missed the point.

        You cannot reach GCSE level, barely speaking English. Nursing also requires one to have passed English.

          Spoken English and written English are distinctly different things.

          I could run circles around English speakers, thanks to being well read… but you would ask me to speak and laugh at the way I pronounced a great number of words.

          So, Mr Know-it-All, you’re actually clueless of what you assert to be logic
