It’s here! The 10th anniversary edition of FORBES AFRICA’s 30 Under 30 list is in the April/May 2024 issue, and we can’t wait to unravel the careers and conversations of this year’s achievers! Just as the honorees who have come before them, the class of 2024 too are driven by impact, leading by example and leaving an indelible path for the changemakers to come. For a decade now, we have uncovered the unmistakable potential and talent pool that exists on a continent boasting the world’s youngest population. Also, in this issue, there’s more talent unfurling in Nigeria’s skit-making world, where artists reportedly earn over $20,000 monthly, attracting transnational collaborations, and catalyzing the growth of the creative industry. In our lifestyle section, we get into the shoes of Africa’s sneaker market that’s experiencing strident growth. In our tech segment, we look at subjects as diverse as gene editing, the digital afterlife and the dark side of AI and how it is stealing your voice. Besides the regular dose of enterprising entrepreneurs aiming high – including the fabulous Sabrina Elba in her five-inch heels – we look at survivors and thrivers such as a wine farmer whose mother worked in the vineyards as a laborer during the apartheid era in South Africa and who now, owns a winery selling premium products. All this and more, in the April/May 2024 issue of FORBES AFRICA, in stores now!
