Congratulations to Rwanda Hon Minister of ICT Paula Ingabire and H.E. President Kagame on a visionary Inaugural Global AI Summit on Africa. Though I attended virtually, I was energized by the bold dialogue on Africa-led AI solutions and homegrown innovation to leapfrog development and solve Africa's challenges. I was truly inspired by H.E. Kagame’s call for collaborative Pan-African AI ecosystems and Hon. Minister Ingabire’s emphasis on ethical governance and digital infrastructure. These are priorities that Zimbabwe wholly shares. President Kagame's call for "Africa to stop playing catch up" in the AI revolution is a bold statement in joining all Africa to build our capacities. 🇿🇼 We’re advancing our National AI Strategy, prioritizing: ✅ AI-skilled youth through STEM partnerships and a Digital skills program that will empower 1.5 million Zimbabweans in the ICT space; ✅ Tele-Health services & AgriTech to tackle local challenges; ✅ Open-data frameworks for transparent governance. Through partnerships with entities such as the World Economic Forum, Huawei, Open AI ,Google, Microsoft, Cassava Technologies and other tech giants Africa can become a formidable global player. Let’s unite to scale Rwanda’s model of practical, inclusive AI empowering SMEs, startups, and women in tech. Africa’s future is brighter when we co-create. Together we can attain the goals of Agenda 2063. #AIForAfrica #GAISAfrica2025 #ZimDigitalFuture #SmartAfrica

My mom subscribed to the idea of an African renaissance because of her experience of being exiled from South Africa in 1976 and taking refuge in Zambia, Tanzania, Nigeria and only returning home in 1991. What is discussed here is the ideology of an African Renaissance being obliterated by the inability of our politicians to bring it to life considering the economic realities our various nations face at the mercy of our elected leaders (where applicable). I’m of the view that South Africa is pouring from an empty cup and we just need a pause to 1. Elect new leaders who will actually serve the nation, 2. Fill our cup atleast halfway and then 3. Get to a place where we are able to welcome our brothers and sisters into the country to who seek aide in self actualisation. I’m probably building a castle in the sky with my middle class view but any information you can offer and add to this conversation, please do so with the view to expose my mind to a different POV and not to criticize 🙏 Watch more here if you’d like:

We're winning the AI browser wars, and we're not even trying. Our mission isn't to build a browser. We're an agent company, not a browser company. We've seen firsthand how teams struggle to get started with AI. The tools they tried are too complex and lack the context you need. We decided to build a browser since it's already the tool you work in. We all know how to use a browser. You can pick up Strawberry and start using AI agents from day one. By building a browser we are also positioning ourselves to build towards the internet of the future. An internet where trillions of agents will be communicating with each other. This is the biggest opportunity of our lifetime. But someone has to make sure it is safe, effective and accessible to teams across the world. That is our mission.

I represented at the AFRIMA 2025 WORLD MEDIA CALENDAR UNVEILING & MUSIC CONFERENCE in Addis Ababa Ethiopia. And this what I have for my fellow creatives. Africa is a continent bursting with vibrant rhythms, soulful melodies, and unparalleled creativity. Our artists, producers, songwriter, and innovators are crafting sounds that resonate across borders yet, despite owning the art and the culture, we often find ourselves fighting for space in the global market. Why? Because we don’t fully own or control the platforms that showcase our music. We lack the infrastructure, the investment, and the unified voice needed to truly capitalize on our rich heritage. The biggest challenge isn’t just about competing it’s about collaboration. We need to shift our mindset from scarcity to abundance. Instead of fighting for limited space, we should be working together as Africans to build our own streaming platforms, protect our rights, and invest in our craft. When we own the channels, we own the narrative. When we tell our story, it’s authentic, powerful, and unmistakably African. Our originality and roots are our greatest assets. We must celebrate and preserve our unique arts, culture, and languages. Let’s encourage each other to stay true to our identity, because no one else can tell our story the way we must and know it. Our music is more than entertainment it’s a reflection of our history, resilience, and future. To the global audience Africa’s story is waiting to be heard, understood, and appreciated. It’s time we sell our narrative, showcase our talent, and let the world see Africa through our eyes. A special thank you to ALL AFRICA MUSIC AWARDS(AFRIMA) for providing a consistent platform where Africa comes together to celebrate our music, culture, and creativity. Your work inspires us all to keep pushing boundaries and to keep our roots alive. Let’s build an ecosystem that’s owned by us, for us. The world is ready for Africa’s voice. Are we ready to own it? ✊🏿🎤🌟 #AfricanMusic #MusicOwnership #CelebrateAfrica #AFRIMA #UnityInMusic #AfricanCreatives

In a world of noise our whisper hits harder. Whispering Media is only six months old, but it has long since stopped whispering. We do not chase clickbait or polarisation. Instead, we dig deeper, where mainstream media look away. We rely on a network of people driven by passion and present at the right moment. Locals, protesters, independent media and eyewitnesses ensure that no image or word escapes us. You whisper, we publish. Our work is investigative journalism, grounded in time, care and courage. One expression of this is The Maccabi Files, to be published this spring. After these ambitious words comes a simple fact: we have not earned a single cent yet. On the contrary, we have invested only time and energy so far. That is why we truly need your support. Our subscription model is as distinctive as our journalism: transparent, fair, and rooted in engagement. Become a paid member of Whispering Media and help us continue to build this news platform. Exciting and exclusive content will follow. We wish you all a loving New Year in a world that offers more warmth to humanity. The Whispering Team

AfDB PRESIDENCY: ZAMBIA'S DR. SAMUEL MAIMBO OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES CANDIDACY Dr. Samuel Maimbo has been endorsed by both the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). LUSAKA, Zambia, Jan. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Development finance expert Dr. Samuel Maimbo today announced his candidacy for President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), presenting a transformative vision for Africa's economic future. "Africa stands at a critical juncture," Dr. Maimbo declared. "We need to get one billion people to work as quickly as possible by strategically supporting the industries that will improve livelihoods and ignite prosperity on our continent. The AfDB needs bold, results-driven leadership that is unafraid of making the hard decisions required to get the job done." With a 30-year career characterized by delivering real-world impact – record-breaking fundraising, translating bold ideas into practical implementation plans, and enhancing institutional efficiency – Dr. Maimbo represents an exciting way forward for the AfDB. His presidential platform focuses on achieving middle-income status for Africa through an AfDB which is laser focused on pace, scale and effectiveness of delivery. "Africa needs significantly higher rates of growth to successfully navigate today's development challenges and capture tomorrow's opportunities," said Dr. Maimbo. "I'm ready on day one to support governments in reaching their goals. It's time to stop talking about Africa's potential and start realizing it." Dr. Maimbo's core priorities include: Trade and Regional Integration: Currently at just 3% of global trade, Africa has immense growth potential through the AfCFTA's unified market of 1.4 billion people. Financial Resources: Strengthening markets, boosting savings, and attracting diverse investments can close Africa's financing gap. Agricultural Transformation: With 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land, Africa can become a global agricultural powerhouse. Infrastructure Development: Modernizing infrastructure is crucial for competitiveness and growth. Energy Access: Accelerating energy access while promoting sustainability will power Africa's long-term economic advancement. Climate Action: Despite contributing <4% to global emissions, Africa faces disproportionate climate impacts. Scaling up investments in resilience and embracing new technologies will safeguard Africa. Creative Industries: A powerful driver of youth employment and cultural exports, Africa's creative industries can amplify Africa's global impact. Inclusivity: Young people, women, and underserved communities across Africa must help design effective strategies. Born and raised in Lusaka, Dr. Maimbo has worked in development finance across Africa and the globe, most recently serving as the Vice President of Budget, Performance Review, and Strategic Planning at the World Bank. As Chief of Staff to successive World Bank Presidents, he played an instrumental role in advancing the institution's mission and strategy at the highest international levels. His stewardship in resource mobilization secured an unprecedented $93 billion financing package under the International Development Association replenishment, with over 70% of the organization's global commitments directed toward Africa.

I had the honour of speaking at the Africa Prosperity Network on how we must empower Africa’s youth to lead the tech and AI revolution. At Divaloper , we believe that building capacity in digital skills isn’t just an option—it’s our responsibility and opportunity. 🌍 Consider this: across Africa, 85% of businesses say they already are or will be investing in AI within the next 3–5 years. 📊 Today, Africa sees only about US$2 – 3 billion in AI investment—just ~1–1.5% of global AI funding—despite representing roughly 17% of the world’s population. 🚀 But the trajectory is strong: the African AI market is projected to grow from ~US$4.5 billion in 2025 to ~US$16.5 billion by 2030—an annual growth rate of ~27%. The message to every young person in Ghana, across Africa: the time is now. Whether you’re a woman or a man, whether you’re in Accra, Tamale, or beyond — this is our chance to code, build, innovate and lead. I invite you to watch the full session and engage: How will you step into the future of tech and AI? #AfricaTech #AIForGood #YouthEmpowerment #WomenInTech #Divaloper #DigitalTransformation

Cyberpunk City: Stepping Boldly Into a New Era At Cyberpunk City, innovation and ambition have always driven us. We’ve built more than just a game—we’ve created an entire ecosystem where blockchain technology meets immersive experiences. From our token-powered economy to NFT-backed in-game assets, we’ve consistently pushed boundaries. Along the way, we’ve achieved significant milestones, expanded our community, and shown resilience in the ever-changing world of Web3. Now, we’re excited to announce a pivotal new chapter for Cyberpunk City as we prepare to migrate to a new blockchain that aligns perfectly with our long-term goals. This move represents not just a transition, but an opportunity to build on our successes and scale the project further. With exciting updates on the horizon, we’re confident this journey will unlock new opportunities for our community and propel Cyberpunk City to new heights. Reflecting on Our Achievements Before diving into the future, we want to acknowledge the milestones and achievements that have shaped Cyberpunk City: Strong Token Economy: We’ve built a thriving token-based ecosystem and ensured real utility for in-game assets through NFT integration. Commitment to Decentralization: With the launch of @CyberpunkStake, we showed our dedication to decentralization and rewarded our community with substantial token distributions. Impressive NFT Volume: Cyberpunk City is currently ranked 10th in all-time volume among NFT projects, a testament to the trust and activity within our community. Price Action and Market Strength: Our token has demonstrated consistent strength in price action, reflecting confidence in our vision and project execution. Meaningful Partnerships and Community Events: We’ve secured valuable partnerships and organized gaming events that brought our community together. Recognition at xDay: Cyberpunk City has proudly participated in two xDay events, earning two awards that highlight the project’s innovation and impact. These achievements reflect the hard work of our team, the enthusiasm of our supporters, and our shared vision for building something remarkable. As we prepare for the next chapter, we’ll continue to build on these successes, creating more opportunities and experiences for everyone involved. What Does This Mean for Our Community? This transition is more than just a technical shift—it’s a chance to elevate the Cyberpunk City ecosystem, refine our offerings, and tap into larger, more vibrant ecosystems. Our mission is to ensure that Cyberpunk City thrives in an ecosystem that can support our ambitions. Here are the key updates that will take place during this migration: 1. Token Ticker Change Earlier, our community voted through a DAO process, selecting $CYB as the new token ticker. As part of this transition, $CYBER holders will be able to bridge their tokens to $CYB on the new chain. 2. Asset Bridging All community-owned NFTs and tokens will be bridgeable to the new chain. Our Cyberpunk City dApp will facilitate these transactions, ensuring the process is as smooth as possible. Some assets will receive enhancements, but rest assured, all updates will be completed within a reasonable timeframe. 3. xExchange Trading Our token will continue to be traded on xExchange throughout the migration process, maintaining liquidity and flexibility. You will also have the option to bridge your tokens to the new blockchain at your convenience. 4. Timeline and Chain Announcement The official chain announcement will be made on November 8, 2024, and the migration will be completed by year-end. The new blockchain aligns with our vision of expanding Cyberpunk City into a vast, more diverse ecosystem, with a significantly larger user base and even greater opportunities for growth. 5. Whitepaper V2 We’ve received many inquiries about our new whitepaper, and we’re excited to share that Whitepaper V2 will be part of a coordinated series of announcements. Due to uncertainties over the past 10 months, we postponed its release to ensure it aligns with the new direction of the project. Now, with a clear path ahead, we are working on a whitepaper that reflects new features and insights gained over three years of development. 6. Website Redesign Alongside the chain announcement, we’re launching a completely revamped website to elevate the Cyberpunk City experience. With a cutting-edge design that mirrors the sophistication and quality of our game, the new site will be more dynamic, visually immersive, and crafted to engage a growing community of gamers. This update will also roll out with Whitepaper V2, providing a clear and comprehensive vision of our roadmap and future plans. The redesigned website reflects our commitment to delivering a premium experience and attracting a larger audience. 7. Marketing Strategy Our decision to keep the blockchain confidential for now is part of a carefully crafted marketing strategy. We aim to reach the largest audience possible with this announcement and are preparing the necessary content and campaigns to ensure a smooth and exciting reveal. 8. Business Development and Partnerships Our business development team is actively working to establish new partnerships on the new blockchain. Once the transition becomes public, we’ll be announcing multiple collaborations to accelerate growth and expansion in our new ecosystem. A New Chapter for Cyberpunk City This transition is a bold and necessary step toward scaling Cyberpunk City into a truly global ecosystem. It’s not just a technical shift—it’s a new beginning, filled with opportunities to build on our past successes and embrace new challenges. We’re confident that this move will unlock new possibilities, helping us reach more players, forge deeper partnerships, and create a thriving community. We’re excited to share this journey with you and look forward to what lies ahead. Stay tuned for updates and get ready to experience the next evolution of Cyberpunk City! Thank you for your support—we’re just getting started!

Over the past few months, we have built the foundation for the next chapter of $VIVA, signing landmark deals that fast-track our expansion across LATAM, Africa, Europe, and Asia. We are now set to ignite massive adoption in one of the most overlooked yet high-potential markets, Bolivia. As we enter the most significant chapter in the history of the $VIVA ecosystem, our mission remains unchanged, to empower and connect communities through innovation, access, and inclusion on a national and global scale. Moving forward, VIVA is taking full control of the $VIVA token, all associated fees, and the LP. This marks the beginning of a new era, one driven entirely by our own direction, our own infrastructure, and our own vision. We want to thank the Believe team for helping us go from 0 to 1 in a space that was new to the VIVA team. You’ve all helped build the foundation of $VIVA, and now we expand that foundation to include our Bolivian community and beyond. We will begin by rolling out our new crypto wallet features to over 3 million Super App users, unlocking the next phase of growth and adoption. Our ad tech platform is positioned to generate billions in annual ad revenue from the partnerships already secured. To close out the year, we will validate the $VIVA token model through our in-app and in-country launch, connecting real users, real value, and real growth. The most exciting chapter for $VIVA has begun.

Welcome to HANDL Our new name. 🧡 A name that resonates with our vision to turn all social media usernames into global cross-chain payment handles. In 2024, we launched an MVP and experimented with different user groups. As we are now gearing up for our TGE and go-to-market campaign, it is time for a brand facelift. Handl is young, sharp, and resonates with the Gen Z and Gen Alpha audience, who were the highest volume of users to engage with our product and most likely to adopt it. The brand celebrates and will leverage internet culture as a key part of its growth strategy. The Gen Z audience is largely aware and curious of Bitcoin, stablecoins, and memecoins, but many struggle to jump over the technical barriers to get started. In our aim to onboard new users to Web3, we effectively expose our target to crypto by bringing payments to the platforms they spend most of their time on: social media. 💡 No crypto knowledge required. We are a cryptocurrency native company, the orange, our most prominent brand color, echoes Bitcoin and crypto as a whole. While the green in our brand refers to traditional & tangible cash, touching grass, the “real-world”. Join us and become part of one of the fundamental payment layers acting as the glue between both worlds.

Krishna on how Anthropic thinks about the platform vs. application layer, and when they decide to build their own products like Claude Code. It’s the question every investor and founder is thinking about: “Most of what we're building is platform. There's so many examples of where a platform can accrue a lot of value, but the customers who are building on that platform actually accrue even more value. We will build our own applications on that same platform where a couple of things are true. Number one, if we feel like we have a vision into where the models are going and we can demonstrate that and create customer value in that, that might be something like Claude Code. The second is thinking about ways to demonstrate value for the ecosystem that others might emulate. If you think about Claude for financial services or Claude for life sciences, these are ways in which we've composed the platform. We're building on the same platform as our customers. That creates a level playing field. We also think that there's so much value that's going to accrue in these areas that our customers can win and we can win as well. So I think of our strategy as mostly horizontal. A lot of the value is going to accrue to the customers that are building on top of it. Our goal is build the best models and then build the products and tools and services that allow that intelligence to proliferate within customers."
