[Video] [Voices of Galaxy] Meet Lefa Makgato, Championing Africa’s Next Generation of Innovators
on September 2, 2026
Voices of Galaxy is a series of real stories spotlighting Samsung Galaxy users who use their passion, creativity, and determination along with technology to make a positive impact on their own lives, communities, and the world around them.
For Lefa Makgato, CSR Manager at Samsung Electronics Africa, empowering the next generation of digital innovators is more than a mission — it’s the driving force behind her work leading Samsung’s CSR initiatives across Africa.
Growing up in a small township in South Africa, Lefa Makgato didn’t know what to dream about because technology felt so far out of reach. But in 2012, a single encounter with Samsung’s Solar Powered Internet School changed everything.
Since joining Samsung, Lefa has dedicated herself to giving back the same opportunity she once received to other students. Today, she leads Samsung’s CSR initiatives across Africa, including Solve for Tomorrow, which empowers young students in Africa to become the next generation of digital innovators. She’s not just teaching students to use technology — she’s equipping them to shape Africa’s future.
Check out the video below to learn more about her, who’s dedicated to nurturing future innovators.
