Forbes is first With a beautiful sunshine weekend behind us here in Cape Town, we enter the last week of August 2014! Can you believe it? Herewith the news highlights from the past week: According to the IPSOS EMS Affluent Survey in Africa, Forbes Magazine has been named the top magazine amongst Africa's richest. In this week's exclusive Loeries Creativity Q&A series for Bizcommunity.com, Sindy Peters chats to Arno Lindemann, Chief Creative Officer of Lukas Lindemann Rosinski. Cari van Wyk covered the Frost & Sullivan GIL Conference 2014 about the future of Africa; and Anton Harber reckons SA must put pressure on Swaziland to open society. In other news, Jumia is fast expanding across Africa, having now launched in Cameroon; and if you missed last week's Biz Takeouts show, make sure you listen to the podcast which is now available.
