In this week’s edition of Africa of the Future we shine a spotlight on Young African Champions, so recognized by the African Union Development Agency (AUDA)-NEPAD. These are young Africans doing amazing stuff on the ground to improve the lives of others, like Silas Adekunle from Nigeria who co-founded and is CEO of Reach Robotics, a company that creates a digital platform for entertainment and education. What they do contributes to “the Africa We Want” of Agenda 2063. Agenda 2063 is the AU’s blueprint for development which envisages a free and prosperous Africa in fifty years.

Africa of the Future celebrates 50 years of the OAU, now known as the African Union, we explore the victories and challenges of its history and look forward into the future.

After the recent UST crash, demands for more regulation in the crypto markets are likely to increase especially given the sentiment that stablecoins should be the first candidate for regulation.

Before the events of May this year, UST was the largest decentralised stablecoin, with a market capitalisation of almost $200 million in 2021.

Legal scholars are now calling for the introduction of strong regulations and one of them is Kara Meiring from the Dispute Resolution practice at a commercial law firm, Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr and she spoke to Luyanda Maome to state their case..
