[ad_1] There’s nothing quite like an unexpected runway moment, one where a familiar face from the music world steps out, not to perform, but to model. It’s a different kind of spotlight that’s very exciting to see. Ayra Starr, Burna Boy, Davido, Wizkid, and a few others have taken that step, moving from headlining concerts to strutting for some of fashion’s biggest names. If there was ever proof that music and style are cut from the same cloth, this is it. For these artists, the runway has become another space to showcase their creativity, blending their musical presence with the…

The best player in South Africa in 2023-2023 Saleng produced a dazzling output of 15 goals and 11 assists from 30 appearances across all competitions in 2022-2023 to be crowned PSL Player of the Year. 2023-2024 didn’t reach those heights but class, as they say, is permanent.

[ad_1] As a passionate Pan-Africanist with a front-row seat to global shifts in media and entertainment consumption, production and investments, I have long believed that anyone not looking towards the African Sub-continent for investment opportunities in the media-tech and entertainment space, will ultimately miss out on the next great shift in global economic growth, and its accompanying returns. For social entrepreneurs like myself with an impact-first outlook that’s deeply invested in social mobility and improving economic outcomes for our society’s most marginalized, the question extends beyond the obvious macroeconomic shifts, or even the capital-flushed magnets set to seize the opportunity.…
