Meet Comessa Foods - A company thinking about your health!

Afriversity CEO and Founder, Thorgeir Einarsson is visiting Cape Town this week to connect with our South African Team and meet some of the Afripreneurs. 

One of the first Afripreneurs that Thorgeir met with was Zoegdie Essa, Founder of Comessa Foods.

Comessa Foods have created South Africa´s first ever flavoured Tortilla wraps and healthy popcorn! 

Their products have become known in the food industry not only for the health attributes and nutritional profiles, but also for taste. Their brand also carries the seal of GIFSA and is DIABETICS SA Endorsed because their products are low in fat, low in sodium, zero cholesterol level, high in fibre and offer natural energy. Thus becoming the ideal snack for slimmers, active people, diabetics and people who care about what they eat.

Zoegdie and his team measure their success not only in the market price but by the growth of their people and the communities they serve in. As a 100% Level 3 Broad Based EE business, their roots stem from previously disadvantaged backgrounds and they are strongly committed to the upliftment of fellow female colleagues.

We thank Comessa Foods for their commitment to providing healthy food options and supporting their local communities.You are an inspiration to us all!

Start with WHY!

I have just finished watching Simon Sinek´s TED lecture on inspirational leadership all starting with a golden circle and the question "why". In 21 minutes, he explains how with a little discipline, anyone can learn to inspire.

Why? How? What? This little idea explains why some organizations and some leaders are able to inspire where others aren’t. Every single person, every single organization on the planet knows what they do, 100 percent. Some know how they do it, whether you call it your differentiated value proposition or your proprietary process or your USP. But very, very few people or organizations know why they do what they do. And by “why” I don’t mean “to make a profit.” That’s a result. It’s always a result. By “why” I mean: what’s your purpose? What’s your cause? What’s your belief? Why does your organization exist? Why do you get out of bed in the morning? And why should anyone care?

START WITH WHY offers an unconventional perspective that explains WHY some people and organizations are more innovative, more profitable, command greater loyalties from customers and employees alike and, most importantly, are able to repeat their success over and over. These are not the one hit wonders. These are the ones who change the course of industries or even society.

Don´t believe it? Watch and be inspired! Simon Sinek - Start with Why!
