Africa 24 Media launches video on demand platform

Africa 24 Media has launched Africa's first all factual video on demand platform, Yebo. The platform offers original stories from over 30 African countries, with most content at no charge. The content is curated by Africa 24 Media's journalists over the last 12 years.

Yebo offers exclusive and unique content that features educative, inspiring and entertaining stories about Africans. Founder and CEO Asif Sheikh commented: "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."
