Our
Story
JeriKholisa, founded by duo, Eagle Moret-Qubu and Mnikelo Qubu, aka 'The Business Scientists', after a decade in the global corporate world, working across continents and sectors, is a manifestation of their desire and dedication to seeing African creative arts and entertainment flourish and to foster more authentic and fruitful engagements between the corporate and creative worlds.
The name 'JeriKholisa' originates from the founders ancestral lineage and pays homage to those who came before them, those lost and those who continue guiding the way in ways both seen and unseen. However, JK is much more than the founders. Its the vast pan-African network that the founders have built over the past decade, living, working and traveling across the continent. Combining their 30+ years in finance, operations, behaviour change marketing, business development and strategy across African and global markets. JK provides business services and market support systems for African creatives and businesses.
Welcome to the tribe.
