Top brands in AfricaIn celebration of #AfricaMonth, Brand Africa releases its report on the most admired brands in Africa - both homegrown and global brands. Dangote and MTN are the top African brands in Africa; and Nike is the most admired global brand in Africa. FCB Africa executive business director, Cobus van Zyl, writes about how Africa is a global leader in entrepreneurship, and with its population expected to double in the next 30 years, Africa could be home to nearly a quarter of a billion entrepreneurs in our lifetimes. It's still #AfricaMonth for another few days on Bizcommunity.Africa and all the #AfricaMonth articles and thought leadership on "Africa Rising" can be found in our special section in celebration of Africa Day, 25 May, for the entire month of May.
