LATEST MAGAZINE

The CIO Africa magazine is your source for the most current thinking on the pressing issues at the intersection of business, technology, and leadership. We work hard to bring you insightful articles and commentaries from leading minds across industries to help you stay on top of the trends shaping our world.

The October 2026 editions of the CIO Africa magazine put three leadership perspectives side by side. East Africa’s Evans Rukunga (KEBS) is shifting government technology from the backroom to the boardroom, while South Africa’s Johnson Idesoh (Absa Bank) keeps the customer at the centre and argues that empathy matters more, not less, and West Africa’s Obong Idiong (Heirs Technologies) speaks on building a start-up with muscles and the importance of delivery. All three editions ask the same question: are we digitising bureaucracy or transforming the government?
