Uncutxtra Magazine 23rd Edition Is Here
Something bigger than another magazine launch has arrived. Uncutxtra Magazine’s 23rd Edition is officially out, bringing entrepreneurship, leadership, creativity, and African excellence into one powerful issue. This time, the magazine turns its attention towards the people building businesses, creating influence, and redefining what success can mean.
The Entrepreneurial Edition arrives with a clear editorial purpose. It explores the journeys behind successful businesses while examining the choices, challenges, and ambitions that shape them. Rather than presenting entrepreneurship as one predictable journey, this edition celebrates the many ways people build something meaningful.
The issue also marks an important editorial journey for Uncutxtra. The magazine takes readers into East Africa, with Tanzania becoming a major setting for its stories, conversations, and visual storytelling. That journey brings a fresh perspective to the magazine’s continuing commitment to authentic African stories.
But there is more to this edition than what we can share here. As you read on, you will get a closer look at the stories, personalities, and ideas shaping this special issue. And if what you discover leaves you wanting more, stay with us until the end, because we have included the important details on how to get your own copy of the Uncutxtra Magazine 23rd Edition.
Behind the edition is a team determined to make the storytelling more immersive. Uncutxtra’s CEO, Emmanuel Alade, travelled to Tanzania with Head of Brands, Communications, and Media Presenter, Omobolanle Adigun. Together, they produced an exclusive documentary and cover interview that adds another dimension to the issue. At the center of that journey is a woman whose story perfectly captures the spirit of reinvention.
Uncutxtra Magazine 23rd Edition puts Jokate Urban Mwegelo in focus.
Gracing the cover is Jokate Urban Mwegelo, one of East Africa’s most recognizable personalities. Her journey has moved through beauty, media, fashion, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and public service.
Her story makes her more than a striking cover personality. It reflects the very idea behind this edition, which is the ability to evolve while remaining connected to purpose.
Jokate first gained national attention as a celebrated beauty queen. Over time, she expanded her influence across several industries and became an important public figure in Tanzania. Her entrepreneurial achievements also earned her recognition on Forbes Africa’s 30 Under 30 in 2017. Yet there is much more behind the public image.
In her exclusive Uncutxtra conversation, Jokate discusses her childhood, education, family values, ambition, leadership, and experiences under public scrutiny. She also reflects on the personal principles that have influenced the different chapters of her life.
The interview gives readers an opportunity to see the person behind the headlines. It explores how her early experiences shaped her confidence and how those lessons continue to influence her approach to leadership.
Her conversation also connects naturally with one of the edition’s biggest themes. Success is not always about remaining the same person after achieving recognition. Sometimes, it means having the courage to become something different.
The full experience extends beyond the magazine itself. Uncutxtra also produced a documentary around the Tanzania journey and Jokate’s story.
Readers who want the complete conversation will find much more waiting inside the 23rd Edition.
Inherited businesses, new visions, and the meaning of legacy
One of the most intriguing features in the issue is Inherited, Then Reinvented.
The feature examines three Tanzanian businesses that became much larger in the hands of the next generation. It challenges the familiar assumption that entrepreneurship only belongs to people who begin with nothing.
Instead, these stories explore another kind of entrepreneurial courage. They ask what happens when someone receives an existing business and decides that inheritance should become a starting point rather than a destination.
One of the stories follows the Dewji family and the remarkable evolution of MeTL Group. The company’s history stretches back generations, beginning with a small family shop before becoming a much larger business enterprise.
Today, Mohammed Dewji stands among Africa’s best-known business figures. His journey within the family enterprise provides a fascinating look at succession, ambition, diversification, and continental expansion.
Another story turns towards the Bakhresa family. What began with a restaurant in Dar es Salaam developed into a major business group with interests extending across multiple markets.
The feature explores how the family has approached succession while maintaining control across different parts of the organization. It offers readers a rare look at what happens when family responsibility meets modern business demands.
A third story introduces Rosemary Raymond Kimaro and her journey through Dianarose Logistics. Her experience adds another emotional layer to the conversation around inheritance and responsibility.
Rather than revealing every turning point, the magazine allows these stories to unfold properly. That is where the real value lies, because each journey contains lessons that deserve more than a few paragraphs online.
More voices make Uncutxtra Magazine 23rd Edition compelling.
The Entrepreneurial Edition does not stop with its cover and succession stories. It brings together entrepreneurs, creatives, executives, and innovators working across very different industries.
Among them is Angel Nyigu, a celebrated Tanzanian dancer and choreographer. Her work has connected African dance with major artists, brands, and wider international audiences.
Her story offers another definition of entrepreneurship. It shows how talent can become a career when creativity is supported by discipline, identity, and business thinking.
Fashion also receives significant attention through Makililo Nelson and Anjali Borkhataria. Their journeys reveal different approaches to building within an industry where creativity must constantly meet commercial reality.
Meanwhile, Brett Berish brings an international business perspective to the edition. As CEO of Sovereign Brands, he offers insight into the thinking behind globally recognized names such as Luc Belaire and Bumbu.
These conversations give the edition a broader entrepreneurial vocabulary. Business appears through fashion, entertainment, branding, technology, healthcare, and creative industries. That variety is intentional.
It reminds readers that entrepreneurship does not have one face, one background, or one industry. Across Africa, people are finding different ways to turn expertise, creativity, and opportunity into something that can grow.
The edition also gives entrepreneurs something practical.
For readers who want actionable inspiration, the magazine goes beyond interviews. From Problems to Profit explores how everyday problems can become opportunities for entrepreneurs. The feature encourages readers to pay closer attention to frustrations, inefficiencies, and unmet needs around them.
That approach is particularly useful because many business ideas begin with observation. Sometimes, the opportunity is already visible, but people have not yet considered it commercially.
The issue also presents 13 Profitable Businesses You Can Start With Less Than ₦1 Million. The feature focuses on accessible opportunities that can appeal to readers who want to start with manageable resources.
However, the magazine does not treat starting small as thinking small. Instead, it encourages readers to recognize demand, understand their markets, and build deliberately.
Another major feature celebrates 14 Female Entrepreneurs Breaking Boundaries and Stereotypes. It brings attention to women whose businesses and leadership continue to challenge expectations.
The edition also explores Tanzania’s evolving creative economy through From Dar to Diaspora. That story looks at how culture, fashion, identity, and digital platforms are helping African creators reach audiences beyond their immediate markets.
Together, these features make the magazine useful for different stages of an entrepreneurial journey. Some stories inspire, some challenge assumptions, while others encourage readers to take practical steps.
Why Uncutxtra Magazine 23rd Edition deserves your attention
What makes this edition particularly significant is its editorial perspective. The Entrepreneurial Edition does not reduce entrepreneurship to money or corporate titles. Instead, it explores entrepreneurship as a combination of vision, responsibility, creativity, resilience, and reinvention.
The stories also show how closely business connects with culture. Entrepreneurs are not simply creating companies. They are influencing fashion, entertainment, technology, healthcare, media, and the way African stories travel.
Furthermore, the Tanzania focus gives the edition a distinctive regional perspective. It allows readers to encounter business stories that may not receive enough attention within more familiar entrepreneurial conversations. That matters because Africa’s business landscape is too diverse for one narrative.
There are founders building from scratch. There are successors transforming family enterprises. There are creatives turning talent into businesses, and there are innovators creating solutions around problems that affect everyday lives. The magazine brings those different experiences into the same conversation.
That is ultimately what makes the 23rd Edition more than a collection of interviews. It becomes a snapshot of ambition across different generations and industries.
And while this article offers a glimpse, the full stories belong inside the magazine.
