Founded in 2019, it publishes daily news, market analysis and long-form features spanning telecoms, banking and finance, enterprise IT, AI, e‑government, mining and the startup economy. Its editorial mix includes executive interviews, opinion and special country reports, and it produces multimedia such as videos and the No Free Lunch podcast. The brand’s core audience comprises C‑suite leaders, technology vendors, investors and policymakers who track Africa’s digital and economic transformation.

Headquartered in Rivonia, Johannesburg, it draws on staff journalists, freelancers and industry contributors from around the region to provide continent-wide coverage.
