Zimbabwean billionaire Strive Masiyiwa becomes first African to join Netflix board

Netflix has appointed Zimbabwean billionaire Strive Masiyiwa to its board of directors, making him the first African and the third international media executive to join the streaming giant’s board in recent years. His appointment comes weeks after former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice said she was quitting her role on the board to join president-elect Joe Biden’s administration.
