Africa Tech Kin with Danny that Guy: Zimbabwe's AI Cyber Shield, 2100MW Renewable Energy Target, & Claude Mythos
Loading player...
Zimbabwe announced plans to launch an AI-powered cybersecurity platform and train 10,000 cybersecurity professionals at the Cyber Fraud & AI Summit in Nyanga. ICT Minister Tatenda Mavetera warned that mobile money fraud costs Zimbabwe over US$30 million annually and said the government will fight AI-enabled crime with AI-driven defence.
At the Renewable Energy Conference in Esigodini, Vice President Kembo Mohadi reaffirmed the target of generating 2,100MW of renewable energy by 2030. We break down what that target means against Zimbabwe's current electricity demand and generation, why stable power is the foundation of every digital economy ambition, and how Zimbabwe compares to regional peers.
ZIMRA has tightened enforcement at Beitbridge Border Post, strictly applying the US$200 traveller rebate cap. We explain the rules, the regional context, and what cross-border travellers should prepare for.
GITEX Africa 2026 wrapped up in Marrakech with over 55,000 attendees, 1,450 exhibitors, and 700 startups. We look at the key trends from the continent's largest tech gathering, including the $1.2 billion Nexus AI Factory announced for Morocco, the cloud sovereignty debate, and what the shift from aspiration to execution means for African tech.
We close with Anthropic's announcement of Claude Mythos Preview, an AI model the company says is too powerful to release publicly due to its ability to find and exploit software vulnerabilities autonomously. Anthropic launched Project Glasswing to give major tech companies access to the model for defensive cybersecurity, raising questions about what AI-powered threats mean for African digital infrastructure.
