Africa Tech Kin with Danny: ZITF 2026, ZIMRA Targets Online Earners & Crypto, EcoCash Super App, Telecel for Sale
Loading player...
Danny that Guy unpacks a packed week in Zimbabwean and African tech. The 66th Zimbabwe International Trade Fair closes in Bulawayo with preliminary figures pointing to over US$600 million in business transactions, MOUs, and confirmed orders, and ICT Minister Tatenda Mavetera uses the Digital Economy Conference to announce the National Innovation Acceleration Centre at the ZITF grounds.
ZIMRA opens a voluntary disclosure window targeting online earners, crypto traders, rental income earners, and Zimbabwean residents earning foreign currency from overseas companies. We break down what it means in plain language, including the structural tension between platform monetisation rules and Zimbabwean tax residency.
EcoCash launches Zimbabwe's first all-in-one Super App, developed by Sasai Fintech under Cassava Technologies, integrating payments, chat, content monetisation, and bill splitting into a single platform. Telecel Zimbabwe's investor bid deadline lands today as the operator seeks an exit from corporate rescue. South Africa withdraws its draft National AI Policy after academic citations are found to be AI-hallucinated. The Botswana Tech Fund opens its doors to Zimbabwean startups with US$13.5 million committed and Zimbabwe explicitly named as a target market. And Apple announces Tim Cook will hand the CEO role to John Ternus on 1 September 2026.
