Shilenge Thembi Portia: Rising star in South Africa’s business world
Through Fems in Tech, Shilenge Thembi is fostering community of female entrepreneurs
Shilenge Thembi Portia is a known star in South Africa’s business world. She’s making waves in two exciting areas: cryptocurrency and financial technology for women.
Thembi Shilenge, the CEO of Crypto Dimensions, began her crypto journey in 2016, a time when the digital currency market was far less mainstream.
Her early adoption of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets has positioned her as a leader in the space.
But Thembi’s vision extends beyond personal success. She is passionate about empowering others, particularly women, to thrive in the fintech industry. Thus Fems in Tech was found.
Through her initiative, Fems in Tech, she is fostering a community of female entrepreneurs and innovators who are shaping the future of finance.
Fems in Tech isn’t just about building businesses; it’s about creating real-world impact. The group actively collaborates and seeks solutions that promote financial inclusion and diversity within the fintech sector.
Their efforts are paving the way for a more equitable financial landscape.
Thembi’s commitment goes beyond the boardroom. As a member of the Mmakaunyane (MMK) Community, she recently led a heartwarming initiative on Children’s Day.
Fems in Tech members visited a clinic and school for disabled children, providing meals and support to those in need.
At 31, Thembi Shilenge is a true inspiration. Her journey from a “worker earning R10k” to a successful crypto trader and philanthropist is a testament to hard work, dedication, and a passion for making a difference. She is a shining example of the power of embracing new technologies and empowering others, especially women, to achieve their full potential.
