Mission
Our mission is to give members a platform to inspire, discover, equip, associate and share their experiences (IDEAS). Vision
To be the world’s largest Value-centric network. The 1873 Network values:

WE BELIEVE THAT:

All men are created equal. They are endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable rights. Among these are liberty, life and pursuit to happiness. Life has no meaning and purpose without faith in the Creator. The sovereignty of nations is less important than the brotherhood of man. Economic freedom can best be won by sovereign humans through a market system. To secure the intended rights of men, governments are instituted among men and they derive their just powers from the consent, acquiescence and silence of the governed. The true purpose of business and human life is to serve humanity. The rule of law is more important than the rule of man. The Creator’s material endowments can only have value through human effort. Objectives

The main objects of the THE 1873 NETWORK are:

To identify, document and showcase Africa’s corporate rich heritage;
To provide a platform for the exchange of ideas, experiences and insights on Africa’s challenges and opportunities;
To be an advocate for the interests of members on issues that are critical to raise the corporate flag of Africa;
To promote the participation of Africans in shaping and defining the agenda for action to make Africa live up to its promise;
To assist in building Africa’s capacity to fund the documentation of its own case studies that can then be used to enhance financial and corporate literacy;
To identify, strengthen and motivate African people to enter the corporate market;
To engage the energy and the talent of the young and emerging leaders in Africa in order to release their potential to build a good society for all people;

A Tribute to Mutumwa Mawere: The Architect of Mindsets.

Today, we gather—in person and in spirit to lay to rest a man who was larger than life. To many, he was a business mogul or a controversial visionary. But to those of us who had the privilege of working alongside him at The 1873 Network, he was "Mr. M": a mentor, a provocateur, and a relentless teacher.

The Legend of "Mr. M"

Mutumwa was not interested in easy answers. He believed that the greatest poverty wasn't a lack of money, but a lack of agency and intellectual curiosity.

At The 1873, he pushed us to understand that "the power of the mind is the ultimate capital." He didn't just build companies; he built people. He challenged our assumptions, forced us to defend our logic, and taught us that leadership is a daily choice, not a title.

Working with Mr. M was a masterclass in resilience. He taught us:

Literacy is Power: Not just reading words, but reading the world—understanding systems, laws, and the mechanics of progress.

The "Me" in Community: That a strong society is built by individuals who take absolute responsibility for their own lives.

Character over Comfort: He never took the easy path, and he never let us take it either.

In His Own Words
In honor of his philosophy, we remember his frequent reminders to the team:

"The journey to a better life begins with a change in mindset. If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

And his unwavering belief in the future of the continent:
"Africa's problem is not a lack of resources; it is a lack of a shared understanding of what it takes to build a sustainable and inclusive future."

It is with a heavy heart that I cannot be there today to see him to his final resting place. However, the lessons he etched into our minds at The 1873 remain. Mr. M, you were a force of nature. You sparked fires in minds that will continue to burn long after today.
Rest in power, Mr. M. The legend lives on through every mind you dared to wake up.

“Does a shared understanding exist about the appropriate role of the media in accelerating the delivery of development assistance by SA's development partners like the UAE? Who stands out in the media as a go to person on diplomatic matters? Let us salute and celebrate UAE.”
