We kickstart today’s big 5 with good news from South Africa.

South Africa is moving closer to the allocation of radio frequency spectrum to mobile operators and providing the framework for the licensing of a wholesale open-access network (Woan) operator. The country cabinet has approved an amended version of the Electronic Communications Amendment Bill.


Meanwhile, in Rwanda, Alibaba Business School in partnership with Rwanda’s Higher Education Council and the Rwanda Development Board has launched its “Global E-commerce Talent” (GET) program for Rwandan educators.

The program is to boost the competencies of Rwandan university teachers and deepen their understanding of the e-commerce industry, so that they can train digital talent and future entrepreneurs in the country to compete in the global economy.


Also, 30 Start-ups to Pitch at 2018 DEMO Africa Conference in Morocco… the start-up launchpad has released the top 30 start-ups that will pitch at its seventh annual conference in Casablanca, Morocco on October 18 and 19, 2018. This comes after several months of DEMO Africa conducting innovation roadshows, city tours and virtual adjudication across Africa.


In Nigeria, the first Artificial Intelligence Legal Assistant has been Launched… LawPavilion Business Solutions is on the verge to release the first Artificial Intelligence Legal Assistant. Managing Director, Ope Olugasa in a statement said his firm is integrating Artificial Intelligence, simply known as (AI) into their Legal Software Solutions.

It will work like a consultant that Lawyers can interact with and helps them get things done faster. It has been programmed to walk the user through the Civil Procedure Rules of Nigeria Courts.


Last on the list is the report by Distrupt Africa about Future of Work: Exploring the African Digital Work Landscape Report 2018. This report highlighted 180 start-ups in operation across Africa, changing the face of the continent’s work and employment landscape.

It also stated that Nigeria and South Africa are the continental leaders in the digital work sector, identifying that there are 58 of such start-ups in Nigeria and 47 in South Africa. It further identified the three major sub-sectors as recruitment, marketplaces, and on-demand with the latter raising over US$14.5 million in funding (the highest) in the last 3.5 years.

Thank you for reading. Stay tuned for our weekly roundup.
