Forbes Woman Africa - October-November 2016

In dieser Angelegenheit

It’s FORBES WOMAN AFRICA’S third birthday in October, and in this anniversary issue, we bring you content from Lagos to Windhoek, of unsung heroines and feisty trailblazers who are conquering Africa’s boardrooms. On the cover, we have Lupita Nyong’o, the Mexican-Kenyan Oscar-winning actress who’s a favorite in Hollywood and at home. Just like us, she achieved global acclaim three years ago. We explore the life and African birthtown of world-famous author JRR Tolkien, who has left a legacy but is forgotten in Bloemfontein, which was once his home. We also look at how military dogs are being used to save the rhinos in Zimbabwe. As part of our series on refugees, we uncover the paths and pathos of the child migrant – home and hope elude them. In the world of business, we look at the price women pay to keep their jobs in corporate South Africa. Plus, all the regular features on how you can make millions as an entrepreneur - all you need is a big idea and a bigger resolve.
