Following his recognition as African Icon of the Month at the KAFXA Awards 2026, we sat down with Jafter Orein Francis from Zimbabwe to talk about his journey in South Korea, the work that earned him the honour, and his message to the African community here.
In the full conversation above, Jafter reflects on how he arrived in Korea and the challenges he met along the way, the people who shaped his journey, his commitment to fostering the spirit of African excellence in South Korea, and what the KAFXA recognition means to him — closing with advice for others hoping to make an impact.
KAFXA thanks Jafter for sharing his time and his story — and congratulates him once again on being named African Icon of the Month.
