In this issue
In June, the most talked about Forbes Africa list is revealed. Our 30 under 30 list has the brightest, hungriest and most successful entrepreneurs under the age of 30. If it’s too good to be true, it usually is; Ponzi schemes promise endless riches but leave millions of Africans with nothing. A new nuclear energy deal in Africa has been blocked by two tiny human rights groups amid questions over where the profits were going. Cricket’s golden boy, AB de Villiers, has temporarily stopped playing Test cricket in a bid to win an elusive trophy. At the same time, he’ll earn eye-watering sums of money. All this and more in Forbes Africa in June.
