We are proud and excited to introduce “Best of Nigeria” to the world.

These books has been a long time in the making – but the time for a project of this kind has never been so relevant. Yes, there is no denying that Nigeria has suffered from years of turmoil, of which the effects are still being felt; but there too is a fresh movement rising to the surface above the simmering tension.

A renewed excitement and faith in the country which will see it rise to become the biggest economy on the African continent – and vying for a superpower position.

“Best of Rwanda offers a glimpse into the country’s future. It is a promotion and showcase of the country and its opportunities – sharing the best of Rwandan business, industry and tourism to the world.”

This landlocked Central African country is often referred to as the “land of a thousand hills” – alluding to the beauty of its landscape.
During President Paul Kagame’s first term, Rwanda made unprecedented socio-economic and political progress. After a history of suffering, the consolidation of peace led to stability and social cohesion among the people of Rwanda. President Kagame was re-elected for a second term in 2010. This term has been founded on a platform of rapid development for the transformation of the lives of all Rwandans.

As President Paul Kagame has always said, it is time for Africans to start telling their own stories themselves; the Best of Rwanda is positioned to do just that. Rwanda is a modest example of the kind of miracle that can be expected when good leadership meets with committed people.

Saudi Arabia is a country of great transformational change.

As the world’s largest oil exporter, its economy has emerged into a leading regional and global power house. Despite its vast resources, it would not be precise to attribute all the success to its natural wealth. Through its dynamic socio-economic diversification process, Saudi Arabia has moved from dependency on Oil & Gas alone and tapped into a scale of sectors to secure its stability and multiply its future growth.

This success is tangible today, where within four years, the economy of Saudi Arabia has doubled. BEST OF KINGDOM of Saudi Arabia celebrates the innovation, sustainability and excellence of the Saudi business and leisure scene. It recognises those organisations, companies and acclaimed individuals that are leading this progress and developing the multi-sector business prospects this country has to offer.

The publication’s emphasis is on actively introducing the very best of our country’s businesses, products and services and activating conversations and transactions that lead to new client acquisitions and improved revenue for its advertising participants.

The scope of the publication’s distribution is to only the very highest of reader profiles and business leaders. So powerful that even just one transaction can make all the difference.

The renowned mega-township of Soweto is photosynthesizing in the spotlight which was cast over it during the 2010 FIFA Football World Cup™. This bright light has continued to shine long after the final whistle was blown – the growth is of Soweto’s own accord.

Here in ‘Best of Soweto’, we aim to capture some of this light and share it with the rest of the world. There are many opportunities arising out of Soweto – and its people are reveling in it. A township which has endured immense strife and hardship since its racial inception, Soweto has flourished into a place of colour and vibrancy.

Whilst this is difficult to capture in the pages of a book, we owe it to Sowetans to attempt it and ensure the legacy lives.
Soweto has always been an offshoot of Johannesburg City, but with talks of forming a separate municipality for Soweto, the township is increasingly standing on its own as a fully functional city. Its many achievements are most commendable.

We can offer you a small flavour of the township through a showcase of those who have made it what it is today. As a result, we bring to you the success stories of ordinary and iconic Sowetans, and their businesses. In this way we can capture their collective enterprising spirit which has allowed them to rise through struggles with determination.
