Africa 24 Media has launched the continent’s first all factual video on-demand platform. The platform offers powerful and authentic stories from more than 30 different African countries, and most of these stories are free of charge.
The content has been curated over the last 12 years by Africa 24 Media’s team of experienced journalists. Yebo aims to be the guide of Africa through stories. Making the announcement, the company’s Founder and CEO, Asif Sheikh, said this is a huge milestone for Africa 24 Media and the continent at large. ‘For two decades I was away from home, studying and working in North America. While there, I constantly craved news from back home. Sadly, all we got at the time were stories of a continent ravaged by war, corruption and disease. Most of these stories were told by foreign journalists, and when I came back, I found amazing stories that were not covered by the international press – that gave me the inspiration to allow more of our people to tell these stories.’
Yebo captures the diversity and creative energy of Africa. It is home to educational, inspiring and entertaining narratives about Africans, and their overcoming spirit and aspirations for the future. The content on A24 Media’s Vault is exclusive, with very little external exposure, making it fresh and unique. Yebo content includes documentaries, short stories, weekly shows and editor-picked snackables.
