Sorry to say, Africahub is suspending its operations temporarily. I, the sole owner and proprietor, am moving to Lubbock TX in mid-July. Because I have eight children & four grandchildren, 18 years of what my wife calls "hoarding," and an office to clean out, I've just become too busy to keep it up. I've enjoyed it & hope to come back to it. Again, sorry!
