Forbes Africa unveils its inaugural 30under30 list in its June edition

These startling numbers underscore the important role entrepreneurship has in supporting socio-economic development.

Speaking on this issue is Chris Bishop, managing editor of Forbes Africa: "This is a historic list for us - the first 30under30 conceived and executed by Forbes Africa. It took nearly six months of hard work, research, sifting and verification, but it was worth every minute. These are the billionaires of tomorrow, the people who could be on our cover in 10 years' time. The young and the talented who are out there doing business in Africa. Inspiring."

Also in this edition, we travel to Mozambique and explore the country as one of the continent's hottest up and coming investment destinations. Plus, we unpack the political crisis in Burundi and Barrack Obama visits Africa. This, and more in the June edition of Forbes Africa magazine.
