PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) this month released a report on the entertainment and media (E&M) industry in five of Africa’s leading economies. The report, released on 22 September, provides performance figures in the Kenyan, Nigerian, South African, Ghanaian and Tanzanian entertainment sectors for 2017-21. It predicts that consumer habits in the five countries will shift from purchasing and owning recorded music to subscription-based, music-rental services. This is attributed to a decline in digital music downloads. However, music streaming platforms will continue to grow, with much of the activity driven by younger demographics. Overall, South Africa emerges as the country with the highest E&M revenue, which is expected to reach $13.2bn in 2021 up from $9.8bn in 2016.

Women will be allowed to drive for the first time next summer in Saudi Arabia, the ultra-conservative kingdom announced, marking a significant expansion of women's rights in the only country that banned them from getting behind the wheel. While women in other Muslim countries drove freely, the kingdom's blanket ban attracted negative publicity for years. Neither Islamic law nor Saudi traffic law explicitly prohibited women from driving, but they were not issued licenses and were detained if they attempted to drive. Prince Khaled bin Salman, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Washington and the king's son, said Tuesday that letting women drive is a "huge step forward" and that "society is ready." "This is the right time to do the right thing," he told reporters in the U.S.  Women will be allowed to obtain licenses without the permission of a male relative.

Paris (AFP) – Former football star and presidential hopeful George Weah on Monday called for change in Liberia and said he was confident ahead of next month’s election in the west African nation.   The first African player to win both FIFA World Player of the Year and the Ballon d’Or, Weah unsuccessfully ran as a presidential candidate in 2005, when he was defeated by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. He also ran as a vice-presidential candidate in 2011 but his running mate lost to Sirleaf. “We are confident,” Weah told AFP ahead of the October 10 election, when 20 candidates will vie to lead Liberia which is returning to normalcy after two devastating back-to-back civil wars. “I’ve persuaded a lot of Liberians to believe that change is necessary for our country to move forward,” the 50-year-old said. Weah, idolised in his country as “Mister George”, has been a senator for the party Coalition for Democratic Change since the end of 2014. “This time around I think I’ve gained experience, I’ve k...
