The Afridigest Week in Review is a must-read weekly recap for Africa-focused founders, executives, and investors.
Welcome back, friends! The most clicked link from last week was 'Own the problem, not just the solution' from Lux’s Bilal Zuberi. And if you missed yesterday’s Fintech Review, it’s available here.
📌 Hope you had a great Christmas, dear reader. 🎅 This is the last WIR that you’ll receive in 2022, but you may receive a Saturday newsletter to end the year. Wishing you a fantastic 2023 in any case. ✨ But before then, you can watch my thoughts on super apps in Africa here.
If you’re new, welcome 🙌🏽 — you're among thousands of readers who receive this Week in Review on Mondays, the Fintech Review on Sundays, and (for those who've opted in) the French-language Revue de la Semaine on Wednesdays (which is on a temporary hiatus right now). And from time to time, an original essay/article goes out on Saturdays. For past essays and digests, visit the archive.
