Editor’s View
We are a quarter of the way into 2017 and so much has happened
already, we would need double the pages of the Lion King to
communicate all the wonderful news of 2017 thus far.
The Lion is the undisputed King of the jungle, but the Lioness
actually rules the pride. Whilst the protective male is constantly on
patrol, the female goes hunting to feed the family. In this edition
of the Lion King, we celebrate our lionesses across Africa who
are working really hard to contribute to the pride of UBA (Proudly
amongst the pack, page 34).
Whether you are a Lion or a Lioness, we all need to make a living
these days as hunting for food is no longer trendy or sustainable.
Read about how you can make money through investments (page
7) and the successful young entrepreneurs across Africa who
are pursuing the ideal of Africapitalism (Enterprise: the success
formula, page 41).
Africa is a beautiful continent. The world just doesn’t know it yet.
We visit Cameroun, one of those hidden treasures on our continent
(Africa in miniature, page 18). Who needs a Caribbean holiday? If
you haven’t seen the Adventures of TASA on REDTV (Must see series,
page 55), you should subscribe to REDTV and take yourself into a
world of dreams, glamour and fun.
I caught a glimpse into the world of our DMD outside the office. I
was let into a secret…shhh don’t tell anyone about VO’s roses (DMD
with a difference, page 10).
I hope you enjoy this edition
of the Lion King magazine.
Don’t forget to write to let us
know what you liked and what
you didn’t like. I can’t wait to
bring you more exciting and
informative news in the next
edition.
À la prochaine!
