Excellence, Rooted in Purpose.
Since 2011, the Best of Africa Awards has honoured the individuals and organisations turning success into service, celebrating African-owned philanthropy and the remarkable contribution of Africans across the fields of Sports, Entertainment, Entrepreneurship and Media.
Sports, Entertainment, Entrepreneurship and Media are pillars around which we seek to examine and exhibit the spirit of Ubuntu in African Philanthropy.

Words from our Winners
Chris Hughton
"It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and showcase the best of Africa to celebrate those who are prepared to give something back. It’s a part of life that society don’t often get to see.”
Akala
“It’s important to see success. If you can’t see it, you can’t be it.”
Wilfred Zaha
“The biggest thing I’ve learned is that things don’t always work out but you have to carry on no matter what otherwise you’ll hinder your own progress.”
Eniola Aluko
“It’s that fearlessness and that idea that you have to be twice as good which has given me...that drive to succeed. That lion inside, that inner Mufasa, drives a lot of African players to achieve great things.”
Luol Deng
“There’s a lot of African athletes across so many different sports who have come through adversity so there’s always been these people to look up to and give me the motivation to do what I do.”
Diamond Platnumz
“I believe if you’re positive in everything you do then everything is possible. The more you empower others, the more power you get yourself.”
“The biggest thing I’ve learned is that things don’t always work out but you have to carry on no matter what otherwise you’ll hinder your own progress.”

Why We Do This
Sport and music reach further than almost any other platform and we use that reach deliberately, to shine a light on the professional and philanthropic success stories Africa has long produced. Because the young people who will inherit this legacy are best reached through the culture they already love.
