في هذه القضية

Our newest edition marks 13 years of FORBES AFRICA! The October-November issue launches a brand-new theme, an unranked list of Top CEOs, where we profile 25 influential and impactful CEOs in South Africa. These leaders are at the forefront driving innovation, achieving financial success, and contributing significantly to their industries and communities. As the world commemorates the 120th anniversary of the Phoenix Settlement and Mahatma Gandhi’s 155th birth anniversary, the settlement and his legacy remain powerful symbols of non-violent resistance and social justice. Also in this issue, a report on conservation groups in South Africa working hard – and fast – to slow the alarming decline of the endangered African penguin. From the seas to the rainforests, AI is also decoding nature’s most complex data patterns. Also, read about a class of prescription weight-loss drugs transforming weight management to the point that manufacturers are struggling to keep up with demand. Big Pharma continues to bet big on it and the market could be worth $150 billion by 2030. With the spurt in healthtech, AI-powered apps are also now all the rage offering groundbreaking interventions in Africa’s battle against rising obesity rates. Also read the exclusive interview with Bill Gates, the billionaire philanthropist and Co-Chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, who spoke to us from Seattle about interventions to improve child health in Africa. We also discuss a forgotten African crop that’s now a global superfood with the potential to change the face of farming on the continent. All this and more in the October-November 13th anniversary issue of FORBES AFRICA!
