Dear Editor

A unique and much needed website. Reconnect Africa has become THE SOURCE for finding out what is going on in the African recruitment market. It is also a great read, with lots of interesting articles, featuring the movers and shakers from Africa and the Diaspora.

One of the things we regularly look forward to every fortnight at AFFORD.

Congratulations, ReConnect Africa does work very well. One point I would make is that it seems to be more orientated to the UK rather than to Africa. It would be great to see more roles for Africa. There are a number of people I know who would like to be involved in Africa (even for a short time).

Dear Editor

As the 2nd Anniversary of the establishment of your magazine comes closer, I thought I might share a few thoughts with you. I have found your magazine extremely interesting and thought-provoking - especially the little chats with people working in various fields. The advice sections have also been very useful. I pass the magazine on to other Africans living and working in Australia. Perhaps a dedicated section on music by leading African artistes, including our Caribbean and Latin American cousins is all that needs to be added on to make this an all-round inspiring magazine.

Dear Editor

At some point in everyone's working life, you will need informed, impartial, professional careers advice. Sometimes an introduction or a referral is all it takes to change the course of your life. ReConnect Africa and the team behind this website have consistently proved an invaluable source of information, advice, and networking contacts to African professionals like myself worldwide. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Congratulations on two years of outstanding achievement and professionalism.

Dear Editor

I came to the Reconnect Africa website via another website. Prior to that, I had never heard of it. But since then, it has been an integral part of me. I have been particularly interested in the inspiring articles which I find quite reassuring. I also relish the idea of knowing what others are doing elsewhere and their thoughts regarding some of the issues that come to the fore.

It is a very good website with questions and most importantly, real good answers to some of the most useful and most frequently asked questions. It is definitely worth a look! Indeed, I have found quite relevant and useful contents in there.

Much as I appreciate that content is the key to having many users on the site, I also believe the design of the pages is important and that a great design can support that great content. Perhaps if a double or 1.5 line spacing is used it would make reading quite enjoyable. The African News and Business section, for instance, should be sourced and links provided to the media outlets from which the stories are culled, so that readers could have in-depth reports of the stories they read. Hopefully, these are things that can be worked on in due course.

Despite the aforementioned findings, I still believe the website stands out as a veritable outlet for people like me whose desire is to explore new ideas, reshape things, and join in a global drive to make Africa and its people more productive.

Happy Birthday!
