From MBA Valedictorian to Award-Winning Entrepreneur

We're incredibly proud to celebrate Nokulunga Msibi (MBA '20), whose entrepreneurial vision has just earned national recognition.

• Lawn Craft, the design-led environmental firm she co-founded with her twin sister, Khethukulunga Msibi, has been named Eswatini's "Outstanding Startup of the Year 2025" at the Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, presented by His Majesty King Mswati III and H.E. Batraki, Secretary-General of the OACPS.

• From serving as our MBA Valedictorian in 2020 to building world-class environmental and landscape design solutions across Southern Africa, Nokulunga exemplifies the entrepreneurial spirit we cultivate at IUM.

In her words:
"Winning this award affirms the scale and pace of our growth. We are grateful to our clients, partners, and supporters whose trust has enabled us to expand so quickly and raise the standard of what's possible in our sector."
