Produced by MTV Base (Africa), the show which airs in August  will seat Gates alongside a panel of leading African tech entrepreneurs, innovators and social investors.

Making valuable contributions in the energy, employment, health, environment and education sectors, the panelists comprise Nigeria’s 23 year-old Chris Kwekowe, 23-year-old George Mtemahanji from Tanzania, 24-year-old Brian Gitta from Uganda, 23-year-old Thato Kgathlanye, 27-year-old Siya Xuza from South Africa and 21-year-old Martha Njeri Chumo from Kenya.
