Yes the internet can reboot Africa

Peter du ToitI'm the founder of FutureWork IQ where I spend my time assisting businesses to design digital workplaces or “offices in the cloud.” These environments enable companies to allow flexible and remote working for their teams. I also teach the digital literacy, fluency, communication and collaboration skills needed to work in these modern technology-rich workplaces.

In a recent piece published in The Guardian, Mark Rice-Oxleyin and Zoe Flood, as the question Can the internet reboot Africa (It’s a must read for anyone wanting to do business on the continent)

In my view the answer to the question is a resounding YES! I see massive opportunities especially for South African businesses. The race, however, is on for South African businesses to become true digital businesses so they can break free of the restraints of location and borders and ensure they can participate on the entire continent.
