Forbes Woman Africa profiles powerful, wealthy, influential and inspirational African women drawn from business, politics, society and life. The magazine delivers sharp analysis and engaging stories of real women who speak from the heart; real women who have failed with dignity and taken success with grace.

The voice is Africa, but the message is global.

“The African woman, whether she is in business or the arts, has a stellar role in the continent’s growth. Some of them rise to be brands themselves,” says Methil Renuka, editor of Forbes Woman Africa, commenting on the latest issue of the magazine.

“We have featured stars from the world of entertainment on our covers before, and for this issue, we turn the spotlight on Charlize Theron, the Oscar-winning South African who has a new film and speaks from the heart about feminism, fame and the gender inequality in Hollywood when it comes to pay. Also in this issue, a report on the
women who have made it to the 2015 FORBES power list. We also have an exclusive with Arunma Oteh, the tough-talking former director-general of Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission; plus an interview with Caroline Wöstmann, the lecturer who won the Comrades Marathon end May. From sports stars to savvy entrepreneurs, they are all worthy of being celebrated," says Renuka.

The latest issue of Forbes Woman Africa also gives readers their regular dose of business and lifestyle trends and fashion tips to take them forward in 2015.
