Nonjabulo Sokhela leads South Africa’s energy transformation with vision, integrity and inclusive intent. As chief executive of Nepoworx Renewable Energy Institution, she drives strategy, operations and business development for a purpose-driven organisation. Her foundation in logistics and supply-chain management, coupled with an MSc in global energy and climate policy from SOAS, University of London, equips her to bridge technical expertise and social impact. At Nepoworx, she champions training and capacity building for youth and marginalised communities, aligning green economy goals with community needs. Nonjabulo, 30, serves on the National Business Initiative’s Just Energy Transition Working Group, SAPVIA’s Solar PV Committee, and G20 platforms such as Startup20 and Y20 — where she advocates for clean energy, youth inclusion and policy reform. As an SDG7 Youth Ambassador, she amplifies voices often left out of the global climate agenda. Rooted in KwaDabeka, KwaZulu-Natal, and inspired by her family’s unwavering belief in her potential, she leads with empathy and resolve.
