On the show this week we find out how is technology changing Africa and we look at the latest technology trends in the continent. 

Recently Frontier Advisory a strategy and investment advisory firm hosted a forum: New Tech for New Africa in Johannesburg. By the end of this year there will be over one billion Africans using mobile phones, one third of which will use their phones to make and receive payments. The implications for business are enormous. Technology will change the face of Africa as we know it; and investors, entrepreneurs and governments alike are using technology and new platforms to drive the socio-economic development of the continent.

One of the most powerful technologies driving growth in Africa is the ubiquitous mobile phone. Africa is largely still using feature phones, but smart phone usage is growing and will increase the levels of engagement for enterprises interacting with Africans on these platforms. With ‘smarter’ phones comes access to the internet and most of its content, allowing Africans the ability to not only access new services, goods and information - financial services for example - but also the opportunity to market their own businesses and reach new consumers through the internet.

It is a weekly careers programme that targets high School learners, those from historically disadvantaged back ground especially the girl child. The programme seeks to portray various careers and professional options that are available and, at the same time, demystify the careers making the learners aware of their own capabilities to attain the professions. We also do a focus on entrepreneurship in Africa.
