About this listen

“The success of Africa’s COVID-19 response should not have surprised the world. The people of Africa have demonstrated time and again, their resilience and ability to work together to overcome even the greatest challenge.”–President Cyril Ramaphosa, President of South Africa.

Riding the Storm: The Untold Story of Africa’s Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic chronicles Africa’s resilience and determination during a borderless crisis. Through the actions of heroes like HE Cyril Ramaphosa, Mr Strive Masiyiwa, Dr Vera Songwe, Dr John Nkengasong, and Professor Benedict Oramah, a narrative of leadership, duty and sacrifices emerges. From securing vaccines to complex negotiations, this book tells of the journey to an outcome that surprised the world. In this book, the author presents the facts in an illustrative manner that highlights African innovation, competence and spirit.

“When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion.”–African Proverb

Riding The Storm is a sprawling narrative that uses the personal experiences of several actors in Africa who became heroes of the continent during COVID 19. Ever wondered why the pandemic did not have the anticipated destructive effect on the African continent? This book explains how it may have happened. Makes me proud.

It's an important story that I wish was known by many.
