A feature profile examines the career of Prof. Clemence Jaricha, the Zimbabwean-born founder and chairman of CJ Global Express Group Unlimited, describing his path from modest beginnings to leading a diversified business empire now present in over 32 countries.
The article traces the Group's growth across transport, construction, hospitality, real estate, beauty, and mining, framing Prof. Jaricha's approach as rooted in the belief that investment in core industries is key to Africa's economic transformation. It highlights flagship ventures including CJ Night Clubs and Restaurants, CJ Global Beauty Spa, CJ Global Construction, and CJ Global Mall.
Particular attention is given to CJ Global Construction's affordable housing work in South Africa's Mpumalanga Province, and to CJ Global Mall's Johannesburg flagship, described as home to more than 100 stores and a range of dining and entertainment options.
The profile also covers Prof. Jaricha's philanthropy through the CJ Global Foundation, which supports vulnerable children and grandparents across Southern Africa through initiatives including orphan life-insurance cover and school supply donations in Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Zambia — work he connects to his own experience growing up as an orphan.
