This week on The Africa Tech Kin, Danny that Guy provides an update after Zimbabwe's Financial Intelligence Unit issued a public notice clarifying Statutory Instrument 99 of 2026, confirming that registering a crypto business with the FIU is not, on its own, a licence to operate, and that crypto is not legal tender.
President Mnangagwa launched the Citizen Engagement and Scoring Platform, an AI-powered tool built by Harare Institute of Technology start-up LADS Africa that lets residents rate local-authority service delivery. The show explains how listeners can take part via WhatsApp.
Econet Wireless Zimbabwe reported its audited results for the year ended 28 February 2026, including 23 percent revenue growth to cross the US$1 billion annual revenue mark, and a push into AI services. Zimbabwe also made its first appearance at VivaTech 2026 in Paris, with HIT, NUST and Bindura University of Science Education showcasing homegrown software and devices.
Regionally, a South African High Court ruling found that Bitcoin can count as capital and money under exchange-control law. The episode closes with a global AI update, including the latest figures on ChatGPT's user growth and the wave of new and open-source AI models.
