Joshua
Maponga

Maponga Joshua III (also known as Bishop Joshua Maponga) has spent years in the corporate, religious and social space—a time that has made him own the title a ‘creative powerhouse’. Maponga is the CEO of the institute Farmers of Thought, a core business to raise consciousness and improve the quality of human experiences.

He is a pragmatic African citizen with a global view: “Think globally and act locally” as he says it. He plays a dozen musical instruments, and is an author, life coach and social entrepreneur—indeed, he is a man of no limitations. Maponga is a graduate of Andrews University (Berrien Springs, Michigan, USA), holding a Degree in Philosophy (BA Theology) and Personal Ministries, with a variety of Outcome-based qualifications from international institutes such as the ILO (International Labor Organization).

He has a wide range of experience in branding, banking, non-profit organisations, and the project management space with companies such as Vodacom, SAPO, Absa, World Vision, SETA, PRASA, SALGA, Milpark College, and the SAPS. His involvement in the corporate space includes motivation, crisis management, business negotiations, strategic sessions, change management, material development and turn-key solutions in consultancy.
