OkayAfricais now on WhatsApp Channels!

For well over a decade, OkayAfrica has served as a hub for progressive cultural discussions of just about any and everything Africa — covering music, film, art and culture, fashion, and news, across the continent and in the diaspora. Now, we’re bringing all our coverage and great stories directly to you on WhatsApp, the most popular instant messaging app in the world.

On the WhatsApp Channel, you’ll be a core member of the OkayAfrica community, with access to polls and exclusive content, from breaking news to behind-the-scenes glimpses.

Away from all the clutter and conversations that lack nuance on social media, OkayAfrica’s new channel on WhatsApp offers you an up-to-date presentation of what we’re covering. That’s engaging and entertaining videos on both niche and popular topics, news briefs as they happen, correspondent deep dives, editorial pieces that span across all things culture and we’ll put you onto music, film, fashion, art and whatever else you need to know about Africa.
