Bantu Gazette (www.BantuGazette.com), a new quarterly publication committed to advancing African perspectives on politics, culture, and economic transformation, has officially launched (https://apo-opa.co/4nStYEk). The magazine introduces a platform that presents Africa’s stories through the voices of those who live them. Grounded in the belief that narrative power must be anchored on African soil, Bantu Gazette explores how the continent defines its own direction through stories told by Africans themselves. It blends traditional storytelling with modern policy insight, offering thoughtful engagement with the forces shaping African societies. From Lagos to Johannesburg, Marrakech to Lilongwe, Addis Ababa to Dakar, and Douala to Gaborone, the magazine reflects a wide regional lens. “Who tells Africa’s story?” asks Editorial Director Felix Tih in the inaugural issue. He highlights a quote from Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe that says, “If you don’t like someone’s story, write your own.” “This wisdom guides everything we do,” Tih explains. “As Africans, we shape our future by documenting our challenges, celebrating our breakthroughs, and creating space for honest self-reflection.” The first issue presents perspectives on energy innovation, cross-border trade, education reform, and the growing influence of African youth on the global stage. Highlights include a feature on digital sovereignty, profiles of women driving progress in the energy sector, and a deep look into Ethiopia’s evolving political landscape. Readers will also find stories of young leaders redefining business, technology, and policy across the continent. Bantu Gazette is the editorial wing of Bantu Agency, a communications firm that partners with institutions and changemakers across Africa to shape compelling narratives. In collaboration with journalists, researchers, and creatives from more than 12 countries, the magazine creates space for thoughtful reflection and strategic storytelling. Published in both print and digital formats, future editions will include multilingual content in English and French. Thematic issues will spotlight diaspora networks, infrastructure, urban innovation, intracontinental trade, artificial intelligence and climate resilience. Distribution through cultural centers, academic institutions, and professional networks will help expand access to readers throughout the continent and beyond. Youth leadership is central to the magazine’s voice. Each issue combines longform journalism with strategic insight, creative work, and contributions from rising thinkers across sectors. “We are building a publication that reflects the complexity of African societies and the brilliance of African ideas,” said Tih. “Bantu Gazette is a space for those who shape, question, and reimagine the future, guided by experience, grounded in truth, and driven by vision.” Bantu Gazette is available at https://apo-opa.co/4nStYEk. The publication welcomes contributions from writers, researchers, and creatives committed to advancing Africa’s voice in global dialogue.
