There are mixed emotions as we celebrate CNBC Africa’s 13th birthday this year. There is untold joy in the reality that we have accomplished so much in the last 13 years. On June 1, 2007, there was a flutter of activity at Sandown Mews in Sandton in Johannesburg, as hundreds of guests came to witness the launch of the first pan-African business news television station.
The channel was born of a dire need to provide the world boundless stories of economic growth and prosperity on the African continent. All that was being reported were stories of gloom, doom and despotic leadership; that were not representative of the paradigm shift of an Africa rising. CNBC Africa, under the ABN Group, achieved the objective of changing the narrative and is today a leading voice in telling the African story of economic prosperity; this is validated as we continue to receive glowing tributes from all captains of industry and policy-makers from across the continent.
