Its 23rd Entrepreneurial Edition
Acclaimed Tanzanian entrepreneur, media personality and public servant headlines a landmark edition
celebrating enterprise and excellence across Africa.
UncutXtra Magazine, the UK-based Pan-African lifestyle and culture publication, is proud to announce Jokate Mwegelo as the cover star of its 23rd edition, themed the “Entrepreneurial Issue.” This edition of the UncutXtra magazine has Sovereign Brands; the makers of Luc BELAIRE and Bumbu as its presenting brand partner.
The edition celebrates outstanding enterprise, innovation and leadership across the continent, and Jokate’s selection reflects the very best of this milestone issue.
Being named cover star of UncutXtra Entrepreneurial Edition is one of the highest honours the magazine
confers. Reserved for individuals whose achievements embody vision, resilience and impact, the cover
status places Jokate among a distinguished list of trailblazers the publication has spotlighted for shaping
business, culture and public life across Africa. Her feature offers readers an intimate, in-depth look into the journey, discipline and convictions behind her success.
Jokate joins an illustrious line of cover personalities who have graced UncutXtra’s pages over the years,
among them Burna Boy, who fronted the magazine’s very first issue; actor and filmmaker Ali Nuhu; screen and media personality Jemima Osunde; and entertainment sensation Uche Montana, cover star for the 22nd edition. This latest cover continues that legacy of celebrating individuals who embody excellence, influence and authentic African stories.
Jokate Mwegelo is a proud daughter of Tanzania, whose career spans entrepreneurship, media and public service. She rose to prominence as a young business founder and media personality before earning national and continental recognition, including a place on Forbes Africa’s 30 Under 30 list and inclusion among the 100 Most Influential Young Africans by the Africa Youth Awards. Her story, rooted firmly in Tanzanian soil, is a testament to the calibre of enterprise and leadership emerging from East Africa and a compelling addition to UncutXtra’s mission to celebrate excellence from every corner of the continent.
In honour of Jokate’s roots and to authentically capture her story, the UncutXtra editorial and creative team travelled to Tanzania for the cover shoot and interview.
