REVIEW: Without infrastructure, Africa cannot compete with the globe

Africa's success in the global era depends critically on the establishment of a robust infrastructure foundation for digital connectivity. The continent needs to prioritize infrastructure development and enhance mobility to facilitate seamless connectivity. This would serve as a gateway for Africa to compete effectively in the global arena.

In Africa, infrastructure development is regarded as a fundamental pillar for economic progress.Tshepo Mahloele, Chair of the Harith Group, believes that without a solid infrastructure foundation, the continent's aspirations for economic growth and regional development cannot be realized.

He says the relationship between infrastructure and mobility is inextricably linked. While Africa may aspire to embrace technologies like computers and mobility, these advancements are contingent upon a robust infrastructure base. Without it, these initiatives are destined to falter. Therefore, the continent requires infrastructure and mobility solutions that facilitate connectivity, thereby enabling it to compete effectively in the global arena.

Tshepo Mahloele continues to say the way forward for Africa is predicated upon leveraging its abundant natural resources. The continent must recognize and harness its inherent wealth to compete on the global stage. However, the funding models employed by developed economies should be extended to Africa, fostering a level playing field.
