This Afridigest Week in Review is a recap of what happened across Africa's tech ecosystem for Africa-focused founders, executives, and investors.

Welcome back, old & new friends 👋🏽! The most clicked link from the last Monday’s newsletter was 'Why AI won't be the investment opportunity everyone thinks it is.'

📌 Apologies for going dark the last few weeks, folks. Some unexpected matters came up, but we’re back to your regular programming going forward. Mea culpa. Expect some experiments with the format here soon though. And P.S., the Fintech Review will go out within 24 hours.

If you’re new here: welcome — this Week in Review is usually sent on Mondays, the Fintech Review usually goes out on Sundays, and an original essay occasionally goes out on Saturdays. For past essays and digests, visit the archive & Afridigest.com.
