Forbes Africa - February - March 2024

En este número

What does it mean to step into your power – and own it – in your 30s and 40s? We have had lists focusing on Under 30s and Over 50s, but for the first time, we focus on the inbetweeners, if we can call them that, those who have made their mark and more in their third and fourth decades. In the February-March 2024 edition of FORBES AFRICA, we focus on the power women who are leading change in this age group. They have had their share of heartbreaks and failures, are more confident, mature and embracing change, and as we found in this story, even prioritizing self-preservation. How have they managed to break the glass ceiling for remarkable change in sectors across Africa and beyond? We also look at Nigerian musicians who have leveraged digital technologies effectively for global acclaim, emphasizing the ascent of Afrobeats. More on music, as we focus on Mikhail Mehra’s filming of a song that brought together a Brazilian producer and a Kenyan singer, shot in Kenya as a milestone for African sound. We bring more personalities to the fore, such as renowned Kenyan-born landscape architect and pioneer of sustainable tourism Hitesh Mehta, also a former cricketer. SA20 Commissioner and former South African cricketer Graeme Smith also speaks to us exclusively about the ambition to create the biggest league outside of India. We also have a list on Africa’s richest people this year, and how the continent’s 20 billionaires are worth a combined $82.4 billion; up $900 million from last year’s $81.5 billion. All this and more on Africa’s emerging billion-dollar startups and entrepreneurs in the February-March 2024 issue of FORBES AFRICA.
