We find that while the list captures the versatility of industries on the continent, purpose remains a common priority for each of these Small Giants. Also in this issue, we present an overview of what has been done or what remains to be done in the run-up to achieving the SDGs over the next six years.

What does it mean to step into your power – and own it – in your 30s and 40s? We have had lists focusing on Under 30s and Over 50s, but for the first time, we focus on the inbetweeners, if we can call them that, those who have made their mark and more in their third and fourth decades. 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. How have they managed to break the glass ceiling for remarkable change in sectors across Africa and beyond? We also look at Nigerian musicians who have leveraged digital technologies effectively for global acclaim, emphasizing the ascent of Afrobeats.

As we celebrate Women’s Month in South Africa in August, we also ask the question ‘Is Covid-19 a gender pandemic’ as it continues to exacerbate inequalities. We then go over to Los Angeles to speak with the mother of one of the richest men on the planet. Maye Musk, whose son is South African-born tech billionaire Elon Musk, is a supermodel and author with a new book. She shares insights on Elon’s Mars ventures and how she raised three successful children. Also in this issue, more from East Africa, including all the new digital developments and innovations coming out of Tanzania and Rwanda. How is tourism reawakening in the hill country? Also read up on how Pfizer is fast-tracking its Covid-19 vaccine for the world. All this and more with our regular features including profiles and Q&As; with corporate titans from around the world.    

Our special issue out in stores in June is a must-have edition produced entirely remotely in keeping with the times, and on the game-changing coronavirus that has redefined our lives and livelihoods. We explore what African business, big and small, is thinking now to adapt to the new normal. Big names from corporate Africa convene on our pages to explore how to urgently pandemic-proof companies with new ideas, innovations and emotions, to merely stay alive fighting a marauding virus. The coronavirus has rebooted every aspect of life as we know it. Across Africa, what are the home-grown ideas and small-scale technological solutions coming to the fore to help combat it? We delve into the impact of the virus on the sports industry, on the events sector and on advertising and marketing. We also talk about the new home headquarters and how Chinese billionaire Eric Yuan is helping millions of people survive social distancing by giving away his videoconferencing tool, Zoom, for free. And then there are the big names in sport, such as Gary Player and Wayde van Niekerk,  speaking about their life in lockdown and their all-new fitness regimen. The start of the mask economy is another feature alongside the new ‘covid couture’. All of this is in our new issue, which also includes sections that focus on Madagascar and South Africa’s executive health forecast. This is a historic edition you would want to keep for posterity.

As 2020 ushers in a new decade and a new set of daunting challenges for the world – the climate crisis, the coronavirus – it’s all the more imperative that the world’s youngest continent rises to the crises and sees opportunities where there seem none. These are the men and women of today who are doing so with credible, creative and profound strategies to shape our tomorrows. 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!
