In other words, it was a normal week in African tech, except with more satellite Internet, more

The week of May 25th – 31st, 2026, was not just about big announcements. It was about control. Who controls payments, data, digital infrastructure, and the future of African jobs?

Last week (November 17 – November 23, 2025) was the kind that makes you go “wait, really?” and then realize… yeah, this is how fast things are moving right now. Busy, surprising, and a little bit wild. Nigeria rolled out faster payment systems, crypto just got a smoother path to

If you thought nothing happened last week (November 10 – November 16, 2025), then it means your feed was stubbornly quiet.
