Minneapolis, MN December 07, 2007 - African Path (http://www.blogger.com/www.africanpath.com) has just launched the African Path Village (http://village.africanpath.com/). African Path works at providing Africans with a platform where they can own and tell their stories on the global stage.
“The Village will allow our site visitors to connect and share the unique cultures from within Africa,” says Joshua Wanyama, founder of African Path. “We strive to provide a great online space that represents the continent. We are excited about the African Path Village as we have now opened doors for a lot of people to tell their stories while interacting with friends and family on our space.”
The growth of online communities has also made it possible for people to connect and discover new worlds. The African Path Village will facilitate this connection while providing the added benefit of news and opinion content from our flagship site African Path and our business site Cheetah Index.
This additional service allows African Path to better serve a growing number of site visitors seeking to connect with African culture, access breaking news and opinion on the continent and discover new businesses serving the African communities worldwide.

African Path launches Cheetah Index
African Path launches business site
As part of our mission to fill the void left by conventional media in covering African issues, African Path will take an active role in supporting and empowering the continent’s young and progressive decision makers. Today, African Path announces the launch of a dedicated business section under the African Path network which will be branded as the Cheetah Index. Currently the site will run on a Beta version.
The Cheetah Index derives both its name and inspiration from Ghanaian economist Dr. George B.N. Ayittey, author of Africa Unchained. A central topic in this book is the new generation of young African professionals who look at Africa ’s problems from a different and revolutionary perspective. Dr. Ayittey believes that this group of professionals plays a central role in re-vitalizing African economies. This group of progressive, problem solving and action-oriented Africans are called the “Cheetah Generation”.
African Path will build the Cheetah Index into a leading online resource for Africa ’s current generation of decision makers. These will include managers, entrepreneurs, government officials, educationists and other people who influence Africa ’s development. The site will provide breaking business news, profiles on African entrepreneurs and industry news while making it easier for business people from Africa and other continents to connect and network.
The site will premiere on November 26, 2007 at http://www.cheetahindex.com.
