Africa Digital World - The Digital Scramble for Africa
--:--
Episode 3 was inspired by the article recently published by Vusa Nyathi entitled
"Industrialisation or Imperialism? Three 4IR policy considerations for Africa". In the article, Vusa shared some
insights about the need for a digital mindset at a macro level, i.e., a common continental consciousness about
why Africa needs the digital era. Episode 3 was thus about unpacking this, by discussing how and why Africa is using "Digital Industry Factories"
from the western world and not building , or maybe not supporting, it's own. Isn't the dominance and use of Google, Facebook,
Instagram, Microsoft, Tik Tok and Amazon on the African continent
akin to another scramble for Africa? A Digital one, this time? Take a listen and share with us your take of this topic.
