For FORBES AFRICA, this is our ninth anniversary issue and I am overwhelmed as we go to press. We had a vision to showcase stories of entrepreneurship on the African continent; what could have been a better way to personalize these stories than to launch the world’s most inspirational brand (FORBES) in Africa. A brand synonymous with stories of inspiration; a brand that every business person and entrepreneur wants to be associated with.

The FORBES AFRICA Person of the Year and the FORBES WOMAN AFRICA Awards have recognized the luminaries on our great continent.
