Magazine Description
In this issue
As a tribute to Women’s Month in South Africa, the August issue of FORBES AFRICA profiles power women who have long since shattered the proverbial glass ceiling with sheer grit and tenacity, echoing the views of thousands of women across Africa who have assumed leadership positions in male-dominated sectors. Phuti Mahanyele and Stacey Brewer have disrupted their chosen industries and are soldiering on for more changes. This issue of FORBES AFRICA also offers interviews with leading sport stars from Kevin Anderson to Siya Kolisi and Clive Barker. Then, we have a photo-led feature on the unsung heroes, the anonymous everyday champions who work to save lives in war zones and your neighbourhood street. Also in this issue, advice on personal finance and retail tech and trends, and a new device to detect malaria without a blood test. All this is in FORBES AFRICA August.
