African Queen Zimbabwe has already built a reputation as a supplier of high quality African Print Fabric and Finished Products. But it is now launching an exciting new online publication, African Queen Magazine, which is aimed at motivating women and young people to start and grow their businesses online. The company is also offering advertising services in the magazine. TofaraOnline (Internet Marketing Coaching) also aims at assisting small businesses on strategies to grow their businesses online. These are exciting times for African Queen Zimbabwe.



Entrepreneur and founder of African Queen Zimbabwe, Tofara Lindsay Chokera, has officially announced the launch of African Queen Magazine. The magazine is read and enjoyed throughout Zimbabwe and globally, and the primary focus of this exciting publishing business is on sales in the global market. The magazine is now online based and was originally created and designed to inspire and motivate young business people and entrepreneurs to work hard and grow their businesses online. In terms of readership, African Queen Magazine appeals to anyone wanting to know how to grow their business online. And for those businesses looking to reach new consumers through advertising in the magazine, African Queen Magazine reaches customers from middle to up market segments who are in the purchasing mood. With a readership of over 3000, African Queen magazine delivers brand messages and positioning to more readers with the most cost-effective advertising. What makes African Queen Magazine different is that it aims to educate our business people not to rely on walk-in customers, especially in Zimbabwe. We need to target the global market so that we bring into our country some foreign currency and alleviate poverty and stagnant businesses. 

African Queen Magazine has now officially launched online, but future plans are to develop a platform called Rava Book Store which will enable people to pay for the magazine per download, and also buy other books online. This platform is going to be launched on 2 February 2019. The team will be hosting a Digital Marketing and Innovation summit and this is the day when the official launch of the platform to the world will take place. Going forward, Tofara and her team would like to see African Queen Magazine being distributed on all airlines across the globe. When people are travelling the team would like to see that Zimbabwe is a great country full of innovative people. 

African Queen Founder, Tofara Lindsay Chokera, says: “We want the world to support our projects by buying from all young business people in Zimbabwe. I would like to see businesses grow and people being able to send their children to school and providing food on the table because of the publicity we offer and because of the customers those businesses will get.”

For those interested in buying the new African Queen Magazine, they can follow the official facebook pages @africanqueenzimbabwe and @africanqueenmagazine.
