Twelve Business Networks
Setsebi Africa is organised into twelve Business Networks, one for each regional business magazine edition. Members join the networks for the markets they work in, so the platform's reach follows the readership those titles have built across the continent.
Twelve Names, One Idea
Every network takes its name from a word for thinking in a language of its region.

Nine Sections Members Already Know
Members post into the same nine sections the magazines use, so a farmer, an investor and an HR manager each find their own conversation. Each network carries its own feed, members, experts and events, and can be sponsored by a single company for a season.
Local Money, Local Time
Every member works in their own currency, through a wallet topped up by card, bank transfer or mobile money. Sessions are booked in the member's own time zone, and experts list the markets they serve, so a search in Lusaka returns people who work in Lusaka.
Experts can also work remotely and across borders, so a professional in one country can book an expert in another with the payment held safely in between.
