A Circle Like No Other
Established as a gathering of leaders, the 1st XI stands as a symbol of influence, unity, and forward thinking. Our members reflect the highest standards of leadership and integrity, while embracing the responsibility of shaping Africa’s political and economic future. The 1st XI mirrors the ambitions of the nation, bringing together diverse leaders who represent the very best of enterprise and civic engagement.
Built on Selectivity and Purpose
Every seat is deliberate, every voice significant. Together, our members shape policy, guide investment, mentor future leaders, and foster partnerships that strengthen governance and national progress.
Our Vision
The 1st XI exists to shape Africa’s future by bringing influence and leadership to one table. It is a platform where the nation’s most respected voices align around ideas, strategy, and commitment to progress.
Our vision is simple: to create a coalition of high net-worth leaders who support participation in governance, strengthen economic growth, and build connections that extend beyond borders.
A coalition of leaders, shaping Africa’s future through influence, unity, and purpose.
