The techpreneur, along with her outfit, demonstrated their commitment to community welfare by organising a visit to the Mmakaunyane community clinic and the school for disabled children.

In a statement, young children and girls from the inner towns and counties were provided meals for the children, many of whom travel long distances to receive medical care.

“At the end of the day, it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished. It’s about who you’ve lifted up. Who you have made better. It’s about what you’ve given back,” Thembi remarked, encapsulating her philosophy of giving back to the community.

Thembi’s impact extends beyond her professional achievements. She is dedicated to educating the next generation about financial literacy and trading. “It’s never too early to learn the importance of trading! Today, I’m teaching my kids the fundamentals of trading and investing, and motivating them to take their financial future into their own hands,” she said, highlighting her role as both a mother and a mentor.

Growing up in a small village in South Africa and overcoming a poor background, Shilenge Thembi has become a role model for many. Her journey underscores the importance of education and determination. She studied Chemical Engineering at Tshwane University of Technology, graduating in 2014 with a B.Tech degree, before transitioning into the world of cryptocurrency.

Her philanthropic efforts are as impressive as her professional ones. In 2023, Thembi donated 50,000 sanitary pads to five schools in her hometown of Mmakaunyane. This gesture was aimed at supporting education and ensuring that no girl-child misses school due to a lack of sanitary products.

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, Shilenge Thembi Portia stands out as a beacon of innovation and philanthropy. At 31 years, Thembi has carved a niche for herself as one of Africa’s most influential figures in cryptocurrency trading and digital finance, while also making significant humanitarian contributions.

Thembi, a serial entrepreneur and founder of the Fems in Tech movement, began her journey in the world of online tradings in 2016.

Despite widespread skepticism, she plunged into trading, mining, and staking bitcoin. By 2017, she expanded her expertise to include various other digital currencies like Ripple, Ethereum, Monero, and Dashcoin, trading with the Poloniex Exchange.

Her early adoption and success in this field have made her a global phenomenon, earning her recognition as a trailblazer in digital innovation.
Her initiative, Fems in Tech, celebrates female brilliance in fintech, business, and finance. This movement not only fosters business growth but also emphasizes collaboration and networking to create impactful solutions. By leveraging technology for financial inclusion and advocating for diversity, women in fintech, under Thembi’s leadership, are reshaping the financial landscape. Their contributions are driving economic growth and paving the way for a more equitable future in finance.

Thembi Shilenge’s story is one of resilience, innovation, and compassion. As she continues to break barriers in the fintech world and uplift her community, she remains a shining example of how one individual can make a profound difference.
