In celebration of Women’s Day in South Africa this month, Forbes Africa has fielded in its August edition of its monthly magazine Africa’s most prominent women of 2012.
Donning the cover on the August issue is one of Africa’s richest women Wendy Appelbaum as she talks about ‘why women in the boardroom should be making noise’.
Although the list is yet to be released online by Forbes, people are already excited and eager to know who made it.
‘It has been a long struggle for
women in business, which is far from over. History even records the
first woman to work in an office in Johannesburg. It was in 1894,
screens were put up around her because it was not appropriate for her to
be seen – more on this in the cover story of the August issue’, says Managing Editor for Forbes Africa, Chris Bishop.
Popular Nigerian blogger Linda Ikeji
is also featured in the magazine. Forbes describes Ikeji, a former
model and magazine publisher,as ‘Nigeria’s highest paid blogger’ in the
article ‘Beauty, Brains and the Business of Blogging’.
‘This edition also includes the
Forbes list of Africa’s most prominent women as well as interviews and
inspirational stories of some of the continent’s most powerful woman to
date‘, he concludes.
