Ntuthuko Mazibuko
Founder & CEO of PrepMe | South African Technology Entrepreneur
Ntuthuko Mazibuko is a South African technology entrepreneur, software developer and the Founder & CEO of PrepMe, an education technology platform built to help Grade 10–12 learners prepare for their National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations.
Ntuthuko is passionate about using technology to solve real-world problems and create opportunities for young people. Through PrepMe, he is working to make high-quality exam preparation more accessible to South African learners, regardless of their school, background or location.
Building PrepMe
PrepMe brings together digital learning tools designed around the South African CAPS curriculum, including AI-powered tutoring, NSC past papers, quizzes, study notes, competitive learning and educational video content.
The platform is designed to give learners access to tools that can help them understand difficult topics, practise consistently, identify weaknesses and prepare more effectively for examinations.
For Ntuthuko, PrepMe is more than an education platform. It is an attempt to use technology to help close the gap between learners who have access to high-quality academic resources and those who do not.
Supporting Teachers & Tutors
PrepMe is also designed to support the people who help learners succeed: teachers, tutors and educational content creators.
Through its educator-focused tools, PrepMe aims to give teachers and tutors digital resources that can make teaching, assessment and learner support easier and more effective.
Educators can use PrepMe to create and manage digital learning activities, provide learners with additional practice, share educational content and gain insights into learner performance.
The platform also creates opportunities for tutors and educational creators to contribute their knowledge through educational videos and learning content, helping them reach learners beyond the traditional classroom or tutoring environment.
Ntuthuko believes technology should not replace teachers. Instead, it should give educators better tools to teach, support and understand their learners.
By connecting learners, teachers, tutors and educational content within one platform, PrepMe aims to create a broader digital learning ecosystem for South African education.
Technology & Innovation
Ntuthuko's work sits at the intersection of technology, education and entrepreneurship.
He is particularly interested in software development, artificial intelligence, digital products and using technology to build solutions that can reach large numbers of people.
Rather than seeing technology only as a career, Ntuthuko sees it as a tool for solving problems, creating businesses and building long-term opportunities.
Entrepreneurship
Ntuthuko is also developing his journey as an entrepreneur, with a long-term vision of building technology-driven businesses that create value, opportunities and employment in South Africa.
He believes successful entrepreneurship is not only about making money. It is about identifying important problems, creating useful solutions and building organisations that can have a lasting impact.
PrepMe represents the beginning of this journey.
Vision
Ntuthuko's long-term vision is to become a leading South African technology entrepreneur and to build companies that solve meaningful problems at scale.
He believes South Africa has enormous technological and entrepreneurial potential, particularly among young people.
His ambition is to contribute to that future by building products, companies and opportunities that can make a measurable difference.
