Africa's only good news website, offering a fresh perspective of a continent of hope and opportunity
Africa, often seen by observers as a single country, has a complicated history, is difficult to understand, and therefore, often completely misunderstood. Africa is complex, comprising 53 independent countries, five major languages groupings – English, French, Arabic, Portuguese and thousands of African languages and a diverse population of 900 million. Large enough to house China, the US, India,
Argentina and Western Europe, Africa is a continent of endemic conflict and growing democracy, of death, disease, despair but also of considerable hope and untapped potential, of desperate corruption and tremendous business opportunity. Importantly, it is not one country, and for every failed state that grabs the news headlines, there are countless success stories waiting to be told. As South Africa gears up to stage the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the world’s focus – that of 208 football-playing nations and an estimated 26 billion cumulative television viewers – will be on South Africa and Africa. This event gives the continent an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show the world what it is really about. This website is intended to offer a fresh perspective on Africa, to highlight stories of progress and positive
developments in the continent. This website presents Africa positively, without ignoring her challenges. It is about hope and the new winds of change that are gusting over her nations and the growing opportunity in arguably the most ethnically diverse, biologically rich, scenically beautiful continent in the world! Africa The Good News is published by South Africa: The Good News (www.sagoodnews.co.za) and sponsored by MTN, the leader in telecommunications in Africa and the Middle East.

The show has since grown and is now hosted on the streaming platform VivaNation. Taynita is the product of an entrepreneurial family and as a result, is passionate about #WealthCreation on the continent. Only one in three young people of working age is employed and this not only affects the individual but their families and the economy of the country as a whole. The big questions that remain are: How do we create jobs and combat this cycle of poverty?
