Bushra Razack

Focus Areas

Razack is the CEO of Philippi Village, an integrated community and business hub in one of South Africa’s most underserved areas. Once an old cement factory, Razack and her team transformed it into a vibrant campus featuring an all-female barista coffee shop, sound studio, BMX pump track, and community garden.

Philippi Village brings people together, creating jobs, opportunities, and hope. It is a safe, inspiring space for local businesses, young people, and communities to connect and thrive.

Razack began her social impact journey at age 12 and has spent over a decade leading social enterprises, community development initiatives, and cross-sector collaborations. She is a trustee of the Be The Earth Foundation, a board member at Boschendal, and a 40 Under 40 Africa award winner for leadership in social enterprise.

“As a visionary leader, I stand for radical collaboration, local leadership, and the power of people to drive change.”
