Joshua Ngalande

Joshua Ngalande is an inventor, CEO and founder of the Nsima Cooker. Nsima is the staple cornmeal product widely consumed in Malawi, and across Africa, traditionally prepared over an open fire. He invented the automated Nsima Cooker in 2010, and now has a registered business, which is in the process of commercializing his technology. He is confident that in 10 years, his Nsima Cooker company will have spread to all African countries. The company will also diversify into research and development of other sustainable technologies that solve Africa’s challenges. Joshua holds a master’s degree in Renewable Energy and Innovation obtained at Murdoch University, Australia. In his free time he volunteers teaching electronics and computer programing to underprivileged youth. Upon completion of the Mandela Washington Fellowship, Joshua plans to continue working on his Nsima Cooker project’s commercialization phase.
