Single Digital Issue: August-September 2025

As 2025 moves into its second half, this issue turns the spotlight on the fintech leaders advancing financial inclusion in Africa, with West Africa standing out as a hub of bold ideas, transformative technologies and innovative disruptors. There’s more from the world of finance as a veteran banking CEO in the South African financial landscape shares his learnings and leadership lessons. Next up, we unpack ethical AI innovation, development and adoption in Africa and the latest cybersecurity trends. We also dwell on climate-positive growth and why it’s time to build the continent’s green unicorns. We follow an Ethiopian-American filmmaker journeying across Africa capturing its rich cultural heritage. We then go to the base of the Virunga Mountains in Rwanda from where an iconic potato is reaching markets beyond, and changing the lives of the local farmers. More on farming; meet the founder of South Africa’s first Black-owned olive oil brand. And from there, we go the distance with the Japanese auto brands disrupting the market in South Africa. Mars may be a red planet next door, but on Earth, we unpack how scientists are seeing it as a catalyst for innovation. In our Life section, the Early Retirement Shift is actually happening, and from there, we naturally progress to the rise, rest and reset of wellness safaris. This is your excuse to read all about it and more in the August-September 2025 issue of FORBES AFRICA, on stands now!
