Student editor Gitau wa Njenga was been backed by the<br />
<strong>University</strong> to develop JAMBO magazine – a 68 page full colour<br />
glossy featuring African content including news and features<br />
on celebrity gossip, fashion, lifestyle and health.<br />
The first run <strong>of</strong> 15,000 issues were be distributed in over 200<br />
outlets across the UK, mainland Europe, sub-saharan Africa<br />
and America for the first issue. The launch is being supported<br />
by extensive investment and circulation is expected to reach<br />

Gitau said: “JAMBO will put African celebrities on the<br />
international map through first-class photo-journalism. Our<br />
aim is to reach diverse African communities around the globe<br />
who seek an intelligent read that gives them a broader<br />
perspective on the world.”<br />
