Don Jazzy and Tega, the dynamic duo behind Mavin's success, will continue to steer the ship, with Kupanda remaining as a strategic advisor. 🚀 But wait, there's more! 🌟 We want to hear from you – would you be interested in receiving curated monthly newsletters from ACIIS featuring the latest news, trends, and insights from the African creative landscape?
