Unlock untapped talent pools

Founder's Story
Ofentse Lekwane
Founder of Wakari
I have many stories of how, if life had its way, I would be living at the periphery of society.
At eight years old, my eye doctor recommended that I be sent to a school for blind children, believing my limited sight would prevent me from thriving in mainstream education. If you know South Africa, you'll understand what that would have meant for my future—minimal education, little chance of a senior certificate, and an unlikely path to university. My father refused. He believed I deserved access to the same opportunities as anyone else. And he was right. I attended a mainstream school, and while I may have been the blindest student in my grade, I was also one of the most accomplished (my mother has the trophy photos to prove it).
When I graduated from university, I was nearly denied a position at a prestigious consulting firm—not because of my abilities, but because company policy required consultants to drive. My legal blindness made this impossible, and despite my stellar academic record, my competence was overshadowed by lack of a car. It took an HR leader willing to break the rules to get me through the door. For five years, I proved that a car had nothing to do with my ability to deliver sharp, strategic work.
These experiences drive me. They are the reason I built Wakari. No one should have to battle for the right to work effectively. Our platform exists to make sure of this.
With Wakari, we want to help organizations become accessibility aware, disability confident and to under what they're doing well and where to improve. For us, utopia is a complete culture shift—where 20% of the population with disabilities are not overlooked because of perceived limitations; but are let into work and set up to flourish despite and because of their disabilities.
Just imagine it.
