Forbes Africa Magazine - June - July 2024

In this issue

In the June-July issue, for the firm time, FORBES AFRICA captures the essence of the hyper-local in Africa, showcasing the true grit and resilience inherent within the continent’s economies, capturing the progress of small companies big on ideas, culture and community. 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. We also look into the crystal ball for what the global futurists are saying with regard to fresh insights into future tech and a better tomorrow. Africa will be striving to come back from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with precious metals in the form of gold, silver and bronze. We select 10 sports stars who could be on the podium in Paris. From the US, we highlight some of the most notable new members of the 10-figure billionaires club. In our lifestyle section, we look at why Africa too can proudly claim to be a source of caviar, one of the world’s biggest indulgences; and with solar solutions becoming so popular, why the continent can’t afford to become a toxic dumping ground for the e-waste detritus left behind by solar. There’s also more from the world of business, art, health and cinema in this issue, out now!
