Sihle Magagula

Sihle Magagula is a MasterCard Foundation alumni and recent graduate of Ashesi University (Ghana) where he studied a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. Sihle’s background in agriculture has been instrumental in structuring programs for farmers and procuring agricultural inputs like fertilizer. In 2016, he got selected as one of the 1000 fellows who were recruited into the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Program, an annual entrepreneurship program that offers mentorship and seed funding. Sihle has a lot of experience in international presentations (via participation in the One Young World Summit, 2018; in Hague, The Netherlands, and a 2016 summer internship in Arizona State University), research, agriculture. He also worked and lived in multiple countries including South Africa and USA. While Sihle has a day job as a Systems Developer with the Central Bank of Eswatini, he remains committed to Tieme Ndo and continues to spearhead communications and fundraising efforts. Sihle hopes his computer science background will benefit Tieme Ndo should the adoption of climate-smart agriculture, especially remote sensing techniques, become critical for our cohort of farmers.
