From the galvanized and determined entrepreneur delivering innovative solutions for their community’s most pressing needs, to the tycoon deal-making while actively demonstrating Africa’s vast investable potential, FORBES AFRICA is honored to have highlighted, showcased and celebrated the many individuals and businesses that have catapulted the continent forward in both small steps and giant leaps, over the past 15 years. In our anniversary issue, we not only reflect on the stories told but on those still to tell. An ode to this quindecennial, we feature 15 individuals, from business titans, like media mogul, Mo Abudu and billionaires, Patrice Motsepe and Aliko Dangote, to socio-cultural changemakers, like Angélique Kidjo, whose ideas and voices have had a positive and lasting impact on the continent’s past, present, and future. Moving from cultural impact to clarity, FORBES AFRICA speaks to an entrepreneur looking to turn tradition on its head, with a product that challenges the diamond industry’s fixation with absolute purity. In this ever-evolving digital age, computing infrastructure has become key, and Nigeria is moving to ensure that it stores and processes its own digital records. As one interviewee says, “Africa’s opportunity has actually become power”. In sport, we ‘tackle’ rugby’s greatest rivalry while also highlighting the 15 top moments in African sport since 2011. From the rise of cosplay to a sportsman turned wine connoisseur, you’ll find all this and more in our October/November 2026 issue. Get your copy today!
