Africa 24 Media has launched Yebo, the continents first all factual VOD platform.
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 for news 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, when I came back, I found amazing stories that were not covered by international press and that gave me the inspiration to allow more of our people tell these stories.”
Yebo offers powerful and authentic stories from more than 30 different African countries, 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 journalists. It consists of documentaries, short stories, weekly shows and ‘snackables’, chosen by Yebo’s editor to ‘snack on the go’.
