Africa Tech Kin with Danny that Guy: Zimbabwe Title Deeds Digitisation & Electronic Traffic Management System
Loading player...
In this week's episode of The Africa Tech Kin, host Danny that Guy breaks down some of the week's big technology stories.
Title deeds go digital. How Zimbabwe's title deed validation programme works, what it asks of property owners, and the questions being raised about cost and timing as the country moves from paper to digital records.
Teachers and AI. The Zimbabwe Open University certifies its first 78 educators under an AI for Educators programme, and the case for stronger digital skills among teachers.
Cameras on the roads. Government begins a wider rollout of the Electronic Traffic Management System (ETMS), using surveillance cameras and number-plate recognition to enforce traffic laws — and the road-safety and data-privacy questions it raises.
The mining boom is a tech-jobs story. The Chamber of Mines projects the sector could need up to 100,000 workers over five years, with close to half in technical and engineering roles, as mines mechanise and automate.
Africa vs US Big Tech. Africa's largest tech economies weigh their dependence on US technology companies for AI infrastructure, and what digital sovereignty would actually require.
The end of free social media? Meta introduces paid subscription tiers for Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, raising the question of whether free social media is coming to an end.
