Abstract
Africa is potentially one of the biggest growth regions in the global environment, yet issues such as poverty, poor infrastructure, political instability and skills shortages often hamper the ability to achieve this goal. Developments such as the African Continental Free Trade Agreement—the world’s largest free trade zone, large logistics infrastructure improvements, increasing industrialisation and massive technology advancement however imply that Africa may be entering an era of “supercharged mobility”. Critical competencies to achieve this will be a broad range of hard technical skills, particularly in the technology arena, and soft skills that enable high levels of cooperation and growth within the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
