She is the co-founder of Volition Cap, an investment cooperative that aims to help Africans build wealth and financial stability. But the middle class are the ones that create the most small and medium scale enterprises. So my focus on the middle class is actually very deliberate, because I realize that the middle class is the economic destiny of Africa,” Plumptre told CNN. That was what happened to my parents.”This tragedy made Subomi realize that she, like many middle class individuals, lacked a safety net when faced with critical emergencies.

☆ EXCLUSIVE S.Africa's energy transition plan needs $46.5 bln, five times pledges - sources

Giant wind turbines dot the landscape at the Darling Wind Power national demonstration project near Cape Town July 17, 2009.

South Africa is also seeking to become a hub for so-called green hydrogen and electric vehicle manufacturing -- both of which could attract significant private sector investment. Coal makes up four-fifths of South Africa's power generation, so turning state utility Eskom to renewables is a priority for the government. Moving South Africa's economy into greener energy will require vast funds in the longer term, with some analysts estimating at least $250 billion over the next three decades.
