The Afridigest Week in Review is a must-read weekly recap for Africa-focused founders, executives, and investors, as well as interested observers.

Welcome back! And thanks to Sam, Jess, Daniel, Moulaye, Jim, Abas, and others for great conversations over the last week. No essay was published this past Saturday, but I expect to publish one this upcoming Saturday,
barring any unforeseen events.
If you’re new, welcome 🙌 — you’ll (generally) receive 2 weekly Afridigest emails: the weekly digest (every Monday) and an original essay/article (generally on Saturdays). For past essays and digests, visit the archive.

Week 33 2021
