By August, we will be launching Zimbabwe’s first data platform and tool, called SOKO DATA PLATFORM, which automates the deployment of data warehouse clusters—including HDFS, Spark, Hive, HBase, Kafka, Cassandra, and MongoDB. Support for RDBMS will be incorporated at a later stage.
We are so incredibly proud of our volunteer instructor, Wellington @geniuswelly who works at TelOne, and was honoured to present the TelOne AI Assistant at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair 2026 — and not just to anyone, but to the Honorable Vice President Kembo Mohadi and the Honorable Minister of ICT Tatenda Mavetera!
The TelOne AI Assistant is an LLM-powered platform that speaks and listens in Shona and IsiNdebele — our languages — through both speech and text. A truly historic achievement for Zimbabwe and for Africa. 🌍
Wellington is a volunteer instructor with Computer Science Zimbabwe who gives back to our community every day — while at the same time building technology at TelOne that is putting Zimbabwe on the global AI map. This is exactly the kind of impact we hope to inspire in every student and member of our community.
💪We celebrate you, Wellington. Proud to have you as part of our family, and proud to be part of a future where innovation speaks — and listens — in our languages. 🇿🇼❤️
