BIT Africa: Our 10-year vision

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”

I believe I have found my why. Introducing BIT Africa, a social enterprise structured as a nonprofit organisation and, as of today, active in five countries: Mozambique, South Africa, Zimbabwe, the United Kingdom and the United States.

We currently have a team of more than 20 people, and our thesis is simple:

Give people the knowledge, skills, tools and opportunities they need to:
• Build local solutions to community problems that can scale
• Access high-income employment and economic opportunities
• Create enterprises that generate jobs, income and long-term value

This work takes different forms across eight thematic programmes, but the purpose is consistent: to expand economic opportunity, remove structural barriers and maximise human potential across Africa.

Over the coming years, you will hear more about:
→Musha Hub, our network of community innovation centres
→OpenWazi, our platform for publishing open African datasets
→BIT Academy, our network of tuition-free vocational colleges
→Our marine and coastal conservation work
→The digitisation of African biological specimens
→Local beneficiation and value-addition initiatives
→Venture support for African problem-solvers
→Research into technology and its impact on society

8 programmes, hundreds of projects, thousands of activities, millions of beneficiaries and one mission.

BuzzFi serves 2k users every single day except on Sundays. In June we had 25k unique users (estimated lower due to mac ID rotation).

Our target is around 20k/day users by year end. Our most popular bundle is $1/10GB/4d.

The solution is simple and we have done it at https://t.co/mUlPCNNdPW

Make the student the product as a education institution.

That way you produce graduated who are work ready.

We get paid by companies for our students.

Our students don't pay fees. We pay them as they learn.

In such a model the incentive of the school and industry are aligned.

Result it, we have greater demand that we can produce.

Many of our graduates end up starting their own startups or securing high paying jobs.

Africa's victim mentality is the issue.

50+ years after independence in most African countries we are still blaming colonization.

We outsource our failures to others and dont take any responsibility, that way we remain stagnant.

[Dandaro Online @DandaroOnline]

#dandarostreets A scholar has sparked debate after claiming on a podcast that the people who introduced formal education to Africa never taught Africans the real truth about money.

She argued that education was designed to produce workers, not wealth creators, teaching people to study hard and work for others rather than learn how to identify opportunities, create wealth and work for themselves.

Do you agree with her...?! 👏🏿💯✔️

I agree, many people don't realize that as citizens we are part of government.

The opposition and ruling party are all part of government. We need to engage and fix our countries.

I like this "It is the courage to transform it, patiently, relentlessly, even when it is difficult."

@kloudCoder the best funding are paying customers. so other than building a product master how to scale distribution for your product.

I created this equity management video entirely with AI.

With better prompting and more time, I could improve it significantly.

AI video tools will keep getting better. The real skill is mastering storytelling, positioning, messaging and creative direction.

You are correct: the Bible supports capitalism’s core principles.

→ Private property: “You shall not steal.” (Exodus 20:15)
→ Honest exchange: “Use honest scales and honest weights.” (Leviticus 19:35–36)
→ Profit through productivity: “All hard work brings a profit.” (Proverbs 14:23)
→ Fair wages: “The worker deserves his wages.” (Luke 10:7)
→ Stewardship: “Well done, good and faithful servant.” (Matthew 25:21)

I think the biggest selling point of SpaceX is Musk's broader company network and the civilization-scale infrastructure they are building.

Mars is the vision, but the real value is in the technologies developed along the way.

Musk is using the bold goal to attract talent, and capital.

I think investors are valuing SpaceX based on the new revenue streams that will be unlocked as SpaceX unlocks value from its growing infrastructure.

For instance Google will pay SpaceX $920 million per month for AI compute that's almost $12 billion a year.

Just 20 of these contracts and spaceX has almost a quarter of trillion in new revenue.

The question isn't whether Mars gets colonized. It's whether SpaceX/Musk becomes the infrastructure layer for the next phase of human civilization through his vast network of companies.

Its tricky to raise capital in ZiG which is still not being used for the majority of transactions & can’t buy fuel.

It also forces companies to rely on the formal forex system which is not liquid enough or market determined.

So how will they import machinery unless they use the black market at a premium which impacts their cost structure.

@benln We have an event in Maputo https://t.co/fkjNeXrNJb and we're planing more. Would be great to have someone from Cursor join
