ABOUT

Dumile Shongwe didn’t start out bold. He started out timid, unsure, and an intern.

Today he’s the Founder & CEO of Dragon Pride Realty, one of the youngest Master Property Practitioners in Africa, and a multi-award-winning entrepreneur who has helped build a network of 30+ industry stakeholders. But the title isn’t the point — the journey is.

Mr D speaks because he is proof. Proof that young, Black entrepreneurs can disrupt established industries. Proof that self-doubt doesn’t have to be the end of the story. Proof that consistency and discipline outwork talent every time.

His mission is simple: inspire change, motivate action, and teach entrepreneurship to anyone hungry enough to grow.

A proven story that earns the room.
Entrepreneurship lessons you can act on immediately.
Property knowledge that builds real wealth.
The mindset shift that changes everything.

Lerato Khumalo – Aspiring Entrepreneur, Soweto

"We booked Mr D for our youth entrepreneurship summit and the feedback was unanimous — best speaker of the day. He connects with young people in a way most speakers simply can't."

Bongani Nkosi – Programme Director, Gauteng Youth Development Initiative
