Cross-border payments in Africa shouldn’t be slow or expensive. The DRC pilot—testing M-Pesa + Visa + stablecoins—is a promising move toward faster settlement and lower fees. Next: scaling lessons across Africa for greater financial inclusion. #MPesa #Visa #Stablecoins #Fintech

@PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa Well done to James Manyika and Strive Masiwa from rising the 🇿🇼 flag

[Adesuwa Okunbo Rhodes @AdesuwaOR]

The video with @schoolofhardknocks is out and it’s gone viral. None of it was planned. I invited James to the Aruwa office to meet him and learn how he’s built his business. We took a picture, he left but then: he came back and wanted to film. Tomorrow morning.

2) It convinces you that tomorrow is guaranteed. But growth does not happen in comfort. It happens in tension. It happens in uncertainty. It happens when you are forced to stretch beyond what is familiar

1)Comfort feels safe. But it is often where ambition goes to die.Many people are not stuck because they lack opportunity. They are stuck because they have become too comfortable with where they are.Comfort removes urgency. It softens hunger. .

Amazon plans to deploy more than 3,200 satellites globally by 2028 and is positioning its network to serve households, businesses, governments, and telecom operators with high-speed, low-latency internet services.

Jeff Bezos is stepping up his challenge to Elon Musk’s STARLINK in Africa, with Amazon seeking regulatory approval to establish its first satellite gateway on the continent in Kenya. Through Amazon Kuiper Group Kenya Limited, the company has applied for an International Gateway

[Prof Taranja @ProfTaranja]

Operator licence that would allow it to build and operate satellite earth stations connecting its low-Earth orbit satellite network to terrestrial internet infrastructure. The move signals Amazon’s strongest push yet into Africa’s growing satellite internet market.

[Prof Taranja @ProfTaranja]

Kenya has emerged as a key target due to its advanced digital ecosystem and strong demand for reliable internet connectivity. Starlink, which entered the Kenyan market in 2023, has already attracted more than 22,000 subscribers by providing broadband access in underserved areas.

As a technology professional, I really enjoyed attending Telone’s Golf Day. Beyond the sport, it was a valuable chance to meet and engage with other professionals—exchange perspectives, and build stronger connections that support collaboration long after the game.
