The Top 40 under 40 is a showcase of local business talent under the age of 40 compiled by the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber (NMBBC).
Chuma Myoli (27), is the Communications and Marketing Co-ordinator at the Mandela Bay Development Agency.
Chuma Myoli is part of the team driving urban regeneration in Port Elizabeth. Her role at the MBDA involves raising its profile, acting as spokesperson, and launching projects like Route 67.
Myoli has been involved in community development from a young age, and describes herself as having a passion for other people. She’s served on the Nelson Mandela Bay’s Executive Mayor’s Education Development Task Team, and on her church’s Community Development Portfolio, chaired by prominent local businesswoman, Bongi Siwisa.
Myoli is part of the Business Chamber’s health and wellness task team and is a trustee for the Missionvale Care Centre. A popular charity event MC, Myoli hosts the breakfast show on community radio station IFM, a role she is relishing. “I’d like the opportunity to change lives, especially those of young children who face many challenges.
It’s up to all of us to ensure that the youth are encouraged and supported.” A former Miss PE, Myoli hopes one day to work for UNICEF.
