I denne utgaven

The name says it all! Connie Ferguson is the cover of the fifth birthday issue of FORBES WOMAN AFRICA. The South African actor and entrepreneur, respected equally by the film and business fraternity, is one of the most recognizable stars on the continent, straddling multiple domains and wowing over industries. In this issue, fronted by a compelling, eye-catching cover, she gives us an exclusive interview to talk fame, film and her future. Also in the issue, we uncover the trends in the natural hair care industry. In our health section, we dwell on the difficulties cancer survivors face in the workplace – how do you work with cancer? We look at an Ugandan filmmaker’s take on the bush war of the 1980s, and how as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni’s daughter, she was best placed to tell it. All this and more of the regular features on African entrepreneurs and trends, in the September-November issue of FORBES WOMAN AFRICA.
