In this issue

In line with the award-winning, conceptual covers we have done before, the March- May 2018 issue of FORBES WOMAN AFRICA looks at Africa’s youngest entrants in business, the Millennials and Gen Z, who we call The Disruptors. They are making waves in the social and entrepreneurial space, coming up with ideas that are shaking up industries. Age is no bar for them. We also dwell on the biggest humanitarian crisis of our times, the refugees, and how illegal immigrants from Nigeria land up in the hell holes of Libya, abused and attacked. Also in the issue, we look at the dangerous life of a woman in South Africa, and what Africa’s chances are at the upcoming Commonwealth Games. Look out for the inspiring stories of entrepreneurs making their mark in the cut-throat world of business; all this and more stories on trends and lifestyle in this delicious current issue.

The New Wave Of Disruptors

Here they come, the networked whiz kids ready to dictate new trends and disrupt industries; the generation that found their way with touchscreens even before taking their first steps. Their language is coding, grammar is Instagram, and Google their go-to. They are the Generation Z, game-changing digital natives about to hit the workforce in a continent boasting one of the youngest populations in the world. Could they be the new class of billionaires in Africa?
