Today we’re looking at two major global tech stories showing just how high-
stakes the AI race has become.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is moving to acquire his AI company, xAI, in what’s being called one of
the biggest tech deals ever — a move aimed at merging space technology with AI power,
potentially reshaping satellites, data centres, and future AI systems.
At the same time, Microsoft has taken a massive hit, losing around $357 billion in market
value as investors worry about high AI costs, infrastructure pressure, and slower returns.
So the big question: are these bold AI moves signs of leadership — or warnings that the AI
boom may be moving faster than reality?
Joining us to unpack it all is our resident tech expert, Olivier Tshimbidi, live from the Middle
East.

✓ From the United States to the African continent, a century of
remembrance, resistance, and recognition is being marked this year.
2026 celebrates 100 years of Black History Month commemorations — a
movement that began with a vision to ensure Black stories,
achievements and contributions would never be erased.
✓ Since 2008, February has been dedicated to celebrating reggae’s global
impact — a sound born from struggle, truth, and unity. The month also
honours two giants of the genre: the Crown Prince of Reggae, Dennis
Brown, born February 1st, and the King of Reggae himself, Bob Marley,
born February 6th.
✓ Did you know, Ma Afrika? On this day, February 1, 1974, tragedy struck
even beyond our borders. While in Botswana, freedom fighter
Onkgopotse Tiro was filling out an application to continue his studies at
UNISA when a student handed him a package — sent, they say, by the
International University Exchange Fund.
