One page size. One grid. One rate mechanic.
This document governs paid space in every Cabanga Africa Group magazine and on every magazine website. Any edition, any market, the same specification and the same arithmetic.
Every edition is produced to the same house specification: 235 x 300 mm, the same two-column grid, the same typography, the same production pipeline. An advertisement built to this specification runs unaltered in any edition, or in all twelve at once.
Frequency: monthly. Each edition publishes a numbered volume and issue. The Probe Journal and BehaviourReport are produced to the same page specification but are quoted separately from this card.
How every print price in this document is calculated.
There is no negotiated card. The base rate is USD 0.015 per square millimetre of booked space, applied identically across all twelve editions. A full page occupies 51,359 mm² of live area and therefore costs USD 770. Position loadings and volume discounts are applied to that figure, in that order. Arithmetic is carried unrounded throughout and rounded once, to the nearest dollar, at the figure you actually pay.
A half page horizontal in Moakanyi, placed opposite the contents page, booked for six consecutive issues.
All figures in United States Dollars, exclusive of any applicable local tax.
Every advertisement unit below is a whole number of columns wide. Nothing in this card sits off-grid, which is why one set of artwork runs in all twelve editions without adjustment.
These are the only print units sold. Rates are per edition, per issue, at run-of-book position, before loadings and discounts.

Material that does not meet this specification will be returned for correction. Where correction is not possible before the material deadline, the booking runs as a house advertisement and remains payable.
One banner unit is sold across the network. It is the only advertising position available on the magazine websites, and it is identical on all twelve.
