Recalibrating for a New Normal: What V20MM Stands For

After spotlighting the untold power of women in digital markets and the rise of Amapiano as a cultural force, we now turn inward. Who are we? Why do we exist? And what future are we helping to build? As South Africa reimagines itself through crisis, creativity, and change, V20MM offers a new lens, one that is people-driven, future-focused, and rooted in shared power.

Why We Exist: The Moment That Demands Movement

South Africa stands at a pivotal threshold:
- Institutions are strained by distrust.
- The economy leaves millions out.
- Policy spaces remain closed to those most affected by their outcomes.
But we also see a generational hunger for dignity, equity, and voice, from youth-led enterprises and rural solar projects to social movements and street culture diplomacy.

V20MM, Vision 20 MegaMinds, is a response to that moment.

We are not just a think tank. We are a growing collective of thought leaders, practitioners, researchers, and creatives who believe the future must be:
- Inclusive
- Intergenerational
- Imaginative

Our Approach: From Ideas to Implementation
We don’t only write articles or analyse policy. We:
- Facilitate community-based dialogues
- Design inclusion frameworks
- Support digital storytelling and creative research
- Partner with institutions, funders, and movements to influence policy

Every solution we propose must pass one test: Does it build shared power?

Vision 2050, Reimagined

We align our work with South Africa’s broader Vision 2050 goals, but we interrogate them, too.

We ask:
- Who is this vision for?
- Who shaped it?
- How do we ensure it includes rural youth, single mothers, and street entrepreneurs?

For us, Vision 2050 isn’t a government document, it’s a generational calling.

Final Word: No Voice Too Marginal

We often say:
“No voice too marginal. No solution without solidarity.”
That is the power of V20MM.
Let’s build the future in full view, with everyone in the room.
