About us
PanAfrican Post is an independent pan-African newsroom covering the ideas, institutions, policies, businesses, and people shaping Africa and its place in the world.
We publish reporting, analysis, commentary, and explainers that go beyond the headline. Our work is built for readers who want context, clarity, and seriousness in coverage of African affairs.
We believe Africa deserves journalism that is rigorous, intelligent, and unapologetically rooted in the continent’s own realities, ambitions, and voice.
Our Story
From a Newsletter to a Pan-African Newsroom
PanAfrican Post grew out of a deeper conviction that African stories deserve to be told with seriousness, pride, and ambition.
The journey began in 2023 with African Hustle, a newsletter founded by Tawanda Forgive Dube to spotlight African entrepreneurs, builders, and hustlers too often overlooked by major news platforms, even though they form the bedrock of the African economy. It was created to celebrate those creating value on the ground, solving real problems, building businesses, and pushing the continent forward.
As African Hustle gained readers across the continent, its reception revealed something bigger. There was a growing appetite for journalism that did more than report events. Readers wanted journalism that recognised African ambition, took African enterprise seriously, and told the continent’s stories with depth and dignity. What began as a newsletter steadily evolved into a broader media vision.
PanAfrican Post was born from that evolution. Its direction sharpened after a visit to the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where the need for stronger African storytelling became even clearer. It became evident that Africa does not only need more coverage. It needs better communication of its narratives — journalism that reflects the continent’s aspirations, challenges tired assumptions, and presents Africa as a place of agency, possibility, and global relevance.
PanAfrican Post exists to help meet that need. It was built to champion African ambition, elevate African voices, and contribute to a more confident, accurate, and forward-looking telling of the continent’s story.
Our Mission
Our mission is to inform, explain, and scrutinise the forces shaping Africa with accuracy, depth, and independence.We aim to produce journalism that helps readers understand the continent with more precision and less noise. That means reporting with context, resisting cliché, and taking African stories seriously on their own terms.We do not see Africa as a footnote to the world. We see it as central to the world’s future.
What we cover
PanAfrican Post covers politics, business, trade, entrepreneurship, technology, climate, culture, global affairs, and the institutions and ideas shaping Africa’s future. We focus on the forces driving change across the continent and beyond, always asking not just what happened, but why it matters, who it affects, and what it says about where Africa is heading.
