Rethink Africa and
the World
Our Story
SEMA AFRICA’s approach to news is as unique as our continent Africa. Africans will define the future and we deserve a news outlet that offers quality coverage tailored to us. We are hungry for news that keeps us informed and helps us make sense of Africa and the world.
SEMA AFRICA was founded in 2011 by David Ndiwanyu and Buumba Malambo under the strong belief that Africans are inquisitive, have a healthy skepticism for conventional wisdom, and crave substantive news to spark interesting conversations. This sensibility informs everything we do.
We’ve since built a rockstar team of editors, reporters, producers, designers and engineers. All of us believe that stories and information have the power to shape Africa and the world, especially when they challenge traditional narratives. We are now reporting original stories, publishing smart analysis and producing high-quality videos for an audience of more than 60 million people each month.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

What We Cover
SEMA.NEWS
Sema.News strives to be first and best to the stories that matter to Africans, from world events to entertainment and everything in between. What separates us from our competitors is our true mission to find the important stories nobody else is telling and put them into context for an audience that demands a complete picture of the world.
SEMA.WORLD
Sema.Diaspora brings the most important issues around the globe to our audience’s doorstep. We chronicle the Africans changing the world in their home countries and the Diaspora, the oppression Africans face on a daily basis, the global threats we all bear and the life-changing events our engaged audience needs to know.
SEMA.CONNECTION
Sema.Connections speaks to the universal experiences we’re all facing, the ways in which we come together, and the relationships we share. We strive to contextualize our common problems and answer the less-obvious questions that people don’t feel okay discussing with their friends, like sex, money, religion, family, aging, mental health, and more.
SEMA.POLICY
Sema.Policy cuts through the noise to help explain what matters and why, while still reveling in the fun, quirky news stories that reveal something larger about this political moment. We bring our distinct point of view to the defining policy issues of Africans— girl child, inequality, youths, justice, poverty, education and more.
SEMA.IDENTITY
Sema.Identities documents,
investigates and tells dynamic stories at the intersection of
identity and experience. We are leaders in reporting and writing on
race, class, religion, gender identity, ethnic identity,
occupational identity and sexuality, with a critical focus on how
these categories impact our lives as Africans and global
citizens.
SEMA.TECH
Sema.Tech is putting the future into focus. We believe that the news that matters to young African people has less to do with gadgets and everything to do with technology's impact on Africa and the world, from breakthroughs in renewable energy to how virtual reality shifts our perceptions to how we'll all survive the robot apocalypse.
SEMA.SCIENCE
Sema.Science brings your view of Africa as a continent and the world into context with the universe at large. We’re exploring the boundaries of space and the depths of the ocean floor and everything in between. We’re cracking open our brains and our genes to find solutions to our greatest human problems.
SEMA.ARTS
Sema.Arts looks beyond celebrity gossip, casting notices and movie trailers to help readers determine and understand what matters in the space. We examine the problems with Nollywood, Hollywood and comics and pop culture, but we also offer solutions. Above all, we do it with intelligence and data and context. Sema.Arts isn't a lecture — it's a conversation.
SEMA.MUSIC
Sema.Music covers a wide variety of acts, from legacy artists to up-and-comers, consistently making a case for why music and musicians matter. We're not taste-making in the traditional sense, but when an album drops containing significant social or political critique, SemaMusic seeks to be the place where people come to discuss it.
SEMA.STYLE
Sema.Style is less about the runway and more about highlighting inclusivity within the ever-diversifying world of style. We create stories that push back at the formulaic ideals imposed by the fashion world, highlighting lesser known designers/brands not only creating amazing work, but uncovering how their work stands to teach or inform us.
