We are a quarter of the way into <strong>2017</strong> and so much has happened<br />
already, we would need double the pages of the <strong>Lion</strong> <strong>King</strong> to<br />
communicate all the wonderful news of <strong>2017</strong> thus far.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Lion</strong> is the undisputed <strong>King</strong> of the jungle, but the <strong>Lion</strong>ess<br />
actually rules the pride. Whilst the protective male is constantly on<br />
patrol, the female goes hunting to feed the family. In this edition<br />
of the <strong>Lion</strong> <strong>King</strong>, we celebrate our lionesses across Africa who<br />
are working really hard to contribute to the pride of UBA (Proudly<br />
amongst the pack, page 34).<br />
Whether you are a <strong>Lion</strong> or a <strong>Lion</strong>ess, we all need to make a living<br />
these days as hunting for food is no longer trendy or sustainable.<br />
Read about how you can make money through investments (page<br />
7) and the successful young entrepreneurs across Africa who<br />
are pursuing the ideal of Africapitalism (Enterprise: the success<br />
formula, page 41).<br />

Africa is a beautiful continent. <strong>The</strong> world just doesn’t know it yet.<br />
We visit Cameroun, one of those hidden treasures on our continent<br />
(Africa in miniature, page 18). Who needs a Caribbean holiday? If<br />
you haven’t seen the Adventures of TASA on REDTV (Must see series,<br />
page 55), you should subscribe to REDTV and take yourself into a<br />
world of dreams, glamour and fun.<br />
I caught a glimpse into the world of our DMD outside the office. I<br />
was let into a secret…shhh don’t tell anyone about VO’s roses (DMD<br />
with a difference, page 10).<br />
I hope you enjoy this edition<br />
of the <strong>Lion</strong> <strong>King</strong> magazine.<br />
Don’t forget to write to let us<br />

informative news in the next<br />
