His latest book, Happysadland (HPH Publishers,) is out now. Read about his story and antics in the February – March edition of the Big Issue magazine.
There’s little doubt – BEE needs a rethink
Chris Bishop is a veteran journalist and the founding editor of Forbes Africa and Billionaire Tomorrow. He describes the process he went through writing his book, The BEE Billionaires, which questions the impact of one of the biggest economic experiments in Africa that began a quarter of a century ago: black economic empowerment.
