A visionary government would harness the wisdom of these gentlemen to claim a place among leading nations in advancing technology for good. But we have evil rulers who focus on primitive accumulation only to benefit their clansmen and concubines. We were bewitched by the dead.

Imagine a Zimbabwe where Strive is President and James is VP or Minister of Science & Technology. Imagine the possibilities! Just Imagine!

Two great people very close to the forefront in terms of shaping the future of the world..and they are not even involved in crafting national policies in their own country in terms of AI and tech,which sanctions need to be removed for them to contribute to the AI discourse in Zim

Aya ndomadhara aya mbinga chaidzo. Kwete mbavha dzemuno dzinongoziva kutenga mota. Funny bit you never see the likes of Strive or James flaunting cars. Iyi yekuba iyi ndoinodyiwa zvekupenga.

Zimbabwe is a nation that has produced amazing talent, innovators, and leaders. I was thrilled to watch the panel discussion on leading in the age of AI at the ongoing Global AI Summit for Africa in Rwanda. The panel discussion had our very own Dr Strive Masiyiwa, a recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award for the 2024 Ministry of ICTPCS Excellence Awards as a panellist. Dr Masiyiwa highlighted that AI is about augmenting and amplifying human capability. His companies are setting up Africa's first GPUs which will serve the entire continent. We are grateful that Dr Masiyiwa's African business continues to have a huge presence in Zimbabwe with over 26 000 of Liquid's 120 000km of fibre in Africa deployed in Zimbabwe and 2 out of 10 of their African data centres located in Zimbabwe. I am equally proud to see several Zimbabweans appearing as panellists in other sessions. Another Zimbabwean Dr James Manyika is co-chairing the entire summit with Dr Masiyiwa and three others. Zimbabwean panellists at the Global AI Summit for Africa include Chido Munyati, Head of Africa at the World Economic Forum, Hardy Pemhiwa, President and CEO of Cassava Technologies and Natalie Jabangwe, CEO of Timbuktoo Foundation. Government remains committed to creating an environment that allows Zimbabweans to thrive in the digital arena. We are also extremely proud of Zimbabweans shining in the global arena in the ICT sector, like Dr Masiyiwa and Dr James Manyika to mention but a few. Policies for more incentives will be availed for our techpreneurs. I strongly believe that Zimbabwe needs to adopt the Uzbekistan model for ICT companies,we will continue having conversations with the Ministry of finance .

This week, we have had a lot of discussions around artificial intelligence, inspired by the Global AI Summit in Kigali, Rwanda. Many African countries are doing great things to motivate young people to take advantage of AI because it represents the future in problem solving. Unfortunately, Zimbabwe’s ICT Minister Tatenda Mavetera and her permanent secretary did not attend, showing how these things are not taken seriously by our government. Zimbabwe’s richest man, Strive Masiyiwa, who has not been to Zimbabwe for decades, made it clear at the summit, which he co-chaired, that investment will not go where the environment is not conducive. Our government talks about anything topical without delivering anything meaningful—they are doing the same with AI. The majority of schools have no computers. Zimbabweans receive electricity for only four hours a day. As the Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, Claver Gatete, explains, a country needs electricity for AI data centres to work. Yet only 600 million out of 1.5 billion people in Africa have access to electricity, not even energy. Yet energy is an integral part of AI development. Energy is an essential component for the successful development and implementation of AI in a country because AI systems require massive amounts of data to function effectively. This data must be stored and processed in data centres and servers, which depend on electricity to power both the hardware and the cooling systems. You cannot achieve this in a country that delivers only four hours of electricity a day to its citizens like Zimbabwe. AI applications require continuous and uninterrupted access to data and computing resources to deliver accurate and timely results. Electricity is also crucial for powering research institutions, universities, and Research and Development centres that drive AI advancement. Without reliable access to electricity, these institutions will struggle to conduct research, develop new algorithms, or train AI models. The tragedy of Zimbabwe is that the Vice-President of Google responsible for AI, Dr James Manyika, is Zimbabwean; one of the key presenters at the summit, Prof Arthur Mutambara, who has just released a book on AI, is Zimbabwean; Strive Masiyiwa, who has partnered with Nvidia to bring supercomputer technology to the continent by building Africa’s first artificial intelligence factory in South Africa with data centres in Kenya and Egypt, is Zimbabwean. Yet, none of them are working in or with Zimbabwe. Our political leaders have let us down on all these fronts, yet they keep yapping about AI when there is nothing on the ground! Instead of slogans and dancing at rallies, they should see how other countries are doing it. A country that doesn’t focus on technology for development will be a dusty village in 25 years, and its people will not be able to compete at all, rendering it just a dot on the global map. Too much political yada yada without anything delivered, and with people like Tatenda Mavetera, who forge qualifications, in the driving seat, Zimbabwe’s fortunes will continue to dwindle! Add to that the historic looting of public funds meant for building power plants to give us electricity, future generations will curse on our graves!

NIGERIA MUST NOT MISS THE 4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION The world has undergone four distinct industrial revolutions that have transformed economies, societies, and the way human beings live and work. The First Industrial Revolution introduced mechanization powered by water and steam. The Second ushered in mass production driven by electricity. The Third brought automation through digital technology. Today, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is redefining the future through artificial intelligence, robotics, blockchain, biotechnology, quantum computing, and cyber-physical systems. Nigeria missed the opportunities presented by the first three industrial revolutions, largely due to decades of poor leadership, poor governance, and a failure to invest in innovation, education, and technological development. As a result, our nation has remained largely dependent on consuming technologies developed elsewhere instead of creating them. We cannot afford to repeat that mistake. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is the greatest technological transformation in human history, and Nigeria must seize this opportunity to leap forward rather than fall further behind. Achieving this requires replacing incompetence, corruption, and recycled politics with visionary leadership that prioritizes science, technology, innovation, and human capital development. Nigeria cannot afford to miss this revolution. Our future depends on embracing it. #SOWORE2027 IS THE ANSWER.
