DUBAI – Royal Studio Africa President and Founder, David Mamvura, has called on African youth to unite, embrace innovation, and drive economic growth, following his recent visit to Dubai on September 5, 2025.
Mamvura, who leads the youth-driven organization registered under Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Youth Empowerment and Vocational Training, said the trip exposed him to world-class technologies and economic models that Africa must adopt to remain competitive.
“The technologies and machinery I saw in Dubai are top-class inventions that Africa should explore,” he said in an interview with The Wasu Post.
“We need invention hubs, advanced technological universities, and polytechnics to equip our students with global skills.”
He urged young people across the continent to move away from survivalist street vending and instead pursue innovation and entrepreneurship.
“Instead of spending their days selling tomatoes and eggs, we should empower them to provide solutions to Africa’s problems,” Mamvura said.
Mamvura stressed the need for partnerships between African governments, private sponsors, and development organizations to unlock the continent’s potential.
“We don’t seek handouts. We seek partnerships that sustain and anchor African talent, innovation, and human capacity building,” he said.
According to him, Africa’s youth outnumber all other age groups but remain the most affected by unemployment, poverty, and lack of access to resources.
He believes that uniting and investing in this majority population could transform Africa’s development trajectory.
“Royal Studio is not a political party; it is a solution-driven entity that embodies the African youth’s capacity,” Mamvura emphasized.
“We are committed to meritocracy, technocracy, and innovation as pathways to economic empowerment.”
He extended an open invitation to sponsors, mentors, and organizations to join the initiative, noting that support could come through funding, training, or sharing expertise.
“Together we can create a brighter future for Africa’s youth—a future where they thrive, innovate, and lead,” Mamvura said.
Royal Studio Africa, operating under the motto “Challenge the Status Quo, Ignite Africa’s Collective Youthquake”, continues to champion youth empowerment across the continent.
