041online, a digital magazine based in Gqeberha, South Africa, has been named the Best Emerging Community Digital Magazine 2024 – South Africa by MEA Markets magazine.
This recognition is part of the African Excellence Awards, which honor outstanding achievements and contributions across various industries throughout the continent.
Since its launch in March 2023, 041online has quickly established itself as a dynamic platform by collaborating with a diverse range of brands and individuals. The magazine was created to serve as a “brag book” for Nelson Mandela Bay, providing a platform that celebrates the community’s successes and vibrancy. 041online does not aim to compete with other news sources. Instead, it offers a fresh, positive, and upbeat alternative that focuses on uplifting stories and community achievements.
The magazine has expanded its team to include writers from various sectors, bringing together a wealth of expertise that aligns with its mission to highlight the best of the Bay. In just over a year, 041online has gained a reputation for its innovative, community-focused content that resonates with readers. Recently, 041online has broadened its reach by launching a new 021 section to spotlight stories from Cape Town, further demonstrating its commitment to high-quality, community-driven journalism. This expansion not only highlights 041online’s dedication to delivering engaging content but also showcases its growing influence within the digital media landscape.
Eleanor Douglas-Meyers, Managing Editor of 041online, expressed her gratitude for the recognition. “I am incredibly humbled by this recognition. The real highlight has been connecting with like-minded individuals who share my passion,” she said. “I have an incredible team, and I see such big things for us in the future.”
The African Excellence Awards, now in its seventh year, celebrate businesses and individuals who demonstrate exceptional achievements, dedication, and impact across a wide range of industries. This year’s awards recognized a diverse group of establishments, from humanitarian research organizations to digital solutions providers.
Kaven Cooper, Awards Coordinator for MEA Markets, commented on this year’s program, saying, “It has been a pleasure to host these awards again this year. I’m always inspired by the excellence we uncover throughout Africa – an ever-evolving continent full of innovation and client-focused services. Congratulations again to all the winners, and best wishes for your future endeavors.”
