Forbes Woman Africa Magazine - June/August 2018

In this issue

The June to August 2018 issue of FORBES WOMAN AFRICA is a collector's edition, a document of history as you go, including conversations with the high and mighty of Africa. South Africa's Education Minister and power woman Naledi Pandor is on the cover telling us how she thinks the fourth industrial revolution incorporated in the country's institutions will contemporize education and enable youth with the right skill sets. But become entrepreneurs and employ others, she says. Also in the issue, interviews with two more African powerhouses: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Joyce Banda. We then have a pictorial account of the streets of South Africa where informal economies thrive, most of them run by women fighting strife and stereotypes. Then, an interview with the emerging female superstar of African soccer: Linda Motlhalo. All this and more regulars on the movers and shakers in culture and fashion. The issue is out now!
