In the February-March 2024 edition of FORBES AFRICA, we focus on the power women who are leading change in this age group. They have had their share of heartbreaks and failures, are more confident, mature and embracing change, and as we found in this story, even prioritizing self-preservation.

Celebrating six years of the FORBES AFRICA 30 Under 30 list, they are the continent’s revolutionary thinkers revitalizing ideas and industries with fresh business models and innovative leadership. In a continent pregnant with opportunities, and at a time a virus pandemic grips the world, young people are the only hope. They are able to step in to offer innovative and new solutions to the problems confronting Africa. Meet the 30 Under 30 class of 2020 in the April issue of FORBES AFRICA!

The March 2020 issue of FORBES AFRICA brings to you a list like no other! Presenting the first-ever compilation of Africa's 50 Most Powerful Women. The unprecedented, unranked list features the continent's leading women, drawn from business, politics, media, science, sports and public life, who are challenging the status quo and creating a trail on terrain where there was none. They are reshaping history, closing inequalities and pioneering new avenues of wealth creation and in turn, lifting others with them. Our research looked at Africa’s leading women across sectors and industries, as well as government agencies and non-profit institutions. We sifted through several recognition lists, conducted our own research in coming up with new names, and short-listed nominations that came in from our editorial teams across Africa, applying our own metrics of leadership, influence, consistency, and most importantly, impact. In addition to this list, this issue also features an important story on the effect of the coronavirus on corporate Africa. Also in the focus section, a story on the future of African mining. And a tennis match on African soil that brought together two legends and the world's second richest man. All this and more in the March issue of FORBES AFRICA, out now!   

The February 2020 issue of FORBES AFRICA features Africa’s 20 billionaires, from Dangote to Dewji. It highlights some great stories and volatile fortunes. Who are the top winners and losers in the new ranking? How many million dollars did one particular entrepreneur lose? Also in this issue, a look at West Africa’s agricultural sector: the ongoing feuds between farmers and cattle herders in the rural parts of the country that are threatening the future of the sector. And, are the real benefits of the global cocoa trade trickling down to the mouths that need it the most? And then, we have the new Miss Universe talking about the struggles of being a woman in her home country, South Africa. We also have in this issue futurists and trend-spotters delving into the mouth-watering technologies of the future that you should definitely know about. Other topics such as climate change tech and remote working also feature, besides our regular focus on entrepreneurs and contrarians rocking the business world.    

The December 2019 / January 2020 issue of FORBES AFRICA is a must-read, with an inviting cover design and modernized look, in keeping with international trends. The man gracing the cover, Akinwumi Adesina, is an African passionately driving investment and development on the continent. We don’t want aid, we want trade, he says, and that poverty has no place in Africa; it is a continent inviting entrepreneurial capitalism to turn around economies. Also in the issue, we look at blockchain driving a technological revolution in the pharma industry – fake drugs could be a thing of the past. We have Angelique Kidjo, the Grammy award-winning songstress, on her commitment to provide better access to finance to African women. Elsewhere in the issue, a rooftop farmer changes agricultural convention on its head. And, rugby rules! South Africa’s win in Japan has placed the spotlight on other minor sports in the country and the question, can we have a Springbok-style recovery for the South African economy too? All this, in the new FORBES AFRICA!
