Uganda’s tech sector has “prepared the bride,” now it wants a dowry
In Kampala, Uganda, on June 19, just past 9 a.m., electric buses rolled through the gates of Kololo Independence Grounds, ferrying investors, policymakers, and tech founders into what has become the most critical stage for Uganda’s tech ambitions. The 2nd Uganda Investor Summit was not an event for flashy app demos and fevered pitches but a quiet statement of intent. An electric bus, designed, and assembled in Uganda by state-backed Kiira Motors, shuttled investors and dignitaries to the summit venue. Beyond a means of transport, the bus symbolised how Uganda is doing tech differently by starting with the hard stuff — manufacturing, hardware, logistics, and high-investment science — and leaving the startup hype for others. “This summit,” said Dr. Monica Musenero, Uganda’s Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation, “comes at a point when we are really designing Uganda’s science, technology, and innovation environment to go to market.” Her voice, clear and commanding in a room full of local founders and foreign investors, did not dwell on high valuation figures or VC dreams. Instead, she made a grounded pitch for a country that has spent the last four years, in her words, “preparing the bride.” “We have matured our innovation ecosystem,” she said. “We have custom-designed it to be suitable for the purpose. Many people have asked why we weren’t telling them what we were doing. And I’ve said — we were preparing the bride. And now it’s time to meet her.” Get the best African tech newsletters in your inbox Country Afghanistan Albania Algeria American Samoa Andorra Angola Anguilla Antarctica Antigua and Barbuda Argentina Armenia Aruba Australia Austria Azerbaijan Bahamas Bahrain Bangladesh Barbados Belarus Belgium Belize Benin Bermuda Bhutan Bolivia Bosnia and Herzegovina Botswana Bouvet Island Brazil British Antarctic Territory British Indian Ocean Territory British Virgin Islands Brunei Bulgaria Burkina Faso Burundi Cambodia Cameroon Canada Canton and Enderbury Islands Cape Verde Cayman Islands Central African Republic Chad Chile China Christmas Island Cocos [Keeling] Islands Colombia Comoros Congo – Brazzaville Congo – Kinshasa Cook Islands Costa Rica Croatia Cuba Cyprus Czech Republic Côte d’Ivoire Denmark Djibouti Dominica Dominican Republic Dronning Maud Land East Germany Ecuador Egypt El Salvador Equatorial Guinea Eritrea Estonia Ethiopia Falkland Islands Faroe Islands Fiji Finland France French Guiana French Polynesia French Southern Territories French Southern and Antarctic Territories Gabon Gambia Georgia Germany Ghana Gibraltar Greece Greenland Grenada Guadeloupe Guam Guatemala Guernsey Guinea Guinea-Bissau Guyana Haiti Heard Island and McDonald Islands Honduras Hong Kong SAR China Hungary Iceland India Indonesia Iran Iraq Ireland Isle of Man Israel Italy Jamaica Japan Jersey Johnston Island Jordan Kazakhstan Kenya Kiribati Kuwait Kyrgyzstan Laos Latvia Lebanon Lesotho Liberia Libya Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Macau SAR China Macedonia Madagascar Malawi Malaysia Maldives Mali Malta Marshall Islands Martinique Mauritania Mauritius Mayotte Metropolitan France Mexico Micronesia Midway Islands Moldova Monaco Mongolia Montenegro Montserrat Morocco Mozambique Myanmar [Burma] Namibia Nauru Nepal Netherlands Netherlands Antilles Neutral Zone New Caledonia New Zealand Nicaragua Niger Nigeria Niue Norfolk Island North Korea North Vietnam Northern Mariana Islands Norway Oman Pacific Islands Trust Territory Pakistan Palau Palestinian Territories Panama Panama Canal Zone Papua New Guinea Paraguay People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen Peru Philippines Pitcairn Islands Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Qatar Romania Russia Rwanda Réunion Saint Barthélemy Saint Helena Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Martin Saint Pierre and Miquelon Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Samoa San Marino Saudi Arabia Senegal Serbia Serbia and Montenegro Seychelles Sierra Leone Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Solomon Islands Somalia South Africa South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands South Korea Spain Sri Lanka Sudan Suriname Svalbard and Jan Mayen Swaziland Sweden Switzerland Syria São Tomé and Príncipe Taiwan Tajikistan Tanzania Thailand Timor-Leste Togo Tokelau Tonga Trinidad and Tobago Tunisia Turkey Turkmenistan Turks and Caicos Islands Tuvalu U.S. Minor Outlying Islands U.S. Miscellaneous Pacific Islands U.S. Virgin Islands Uganda Ukraine Union of Soviet Socialist Republics United Arab Emirates United Kingdom United States Unknown or Invalid Region Uruguay Uzbekistan Vanuatu Vatican City Venezuela Vietnam Wake Island Wallis and Futuna Western Sahara Yemen Zambia Zimbabwe Åland Islands ?> Gender Male Female Others TC Daily Events TC Scoop <!– Next Wave –> <!– Entering Tech –> Subscribe A long game Uganda’s tech ambitions are to create a pipeline of high-impact, often science-heavy businesses that touch the country’s real economy, including agriculture, energy, public transport, and health. Agriculture employs over 70% of the country’s workforce. Over 60% of electricity needs remain unmet in rural areas. And import bills for pharmaceutical and industrial goods run into the billions. The government is betting that technology — particularly hardware and research-intensive innovation — can help the country escape its low-productivity trap. “Those of you who came last year, you saw our ambition,” she said. “But this year, we want you to see the bride. We have been preparing her. She is ready.” The metaphor may sound poetic and obscure meaning, but Musenero’s message is clear: Uganda has done the groundwork putting policies, infrastructure, and pilot projects in place. Now, the country is seeking capital to scale what it has built. Among Uganda’s top pitches is Kiira. Born out of a Makerere University project, the automaker has become the government’s flagship for what it calls “strategic deep tech.” With a new assembly plant in Jinja, about 90km west of the capital, and plans to produce 5,000 electric buses a year by 2026, it has already secured about $40 million in state funding. Kiira Motors Corporation’s new manufacturing hub in Jinja, 90km East of Kampala. Image Source: KIIRA While critics question whether the project can scale, it’s one of the clearest examples of how Uganda is using state capital to create domestic champions, not just hoping private capital will do the job. Not far from the capital, Dei Biopharma is manufacturing over 3,000 pharmaceutical products at its high-capacity plant, serving both domestic and regional markets. It is a shift from policy talk to product validation, and it runs deeper than the conference stage.

From dusty shelf to digital engine: Why African policies must become tools, not trophies
Once upon a time, in the back room of a bustling ministry, sat a policy, born from months of consultations, late-night drafting sessions, and the collective hope of a continent eager for digital evolution. Its cover gleamed, and its pages were crisp with promise. But now, it languished on a shelf, lonely, dusty, and yearning for relevance. Around it sat countless others. They spoke of bridging the digital divide, empowering youth, and unlocking inclusive growth through technology. Displayed at summits, referenced in reports, and dusted off for speeches. But their purpose was left unfulfilled. The root of the problem was clear: policies were too often treated as an asset class. They became symbols of progress, trophies to be displayed, and credentials to be cited, rather than frameworks to be implemented. Policymakers and stakeholders would pose with them, roll them out at summits, raise funds, and then quietly return them to their shelves. This asset class mentality stifled innovation and left the continent’s digital dreams unrealised. But policy, our lonely protagonist knew, it was meant to be a utility. Its value lay in daily use-guiding decisions, shaping investments, and adapting to new realities. Policy should be the wrench in the hand of the builder, the compass for the navigator, not a relic for the historian. Only as a utility could it deliver on its promise to bridge Africa’s persistent digital divide, where only 37% of people have internet access, and youth are disproportionately excluded from opportunities. A chorus of unheard voices From its vantage point on the shelf, the policy watched as the world outside changed at breakneck speed. The African Union’s Digital Transformation Strategy for Africa (DTS) 2020–2030 called for a unified digital market and continental integration, envisioning a $700 billion opportunity by 2030. Yet, the policy saw how implementation lagged. Governments changed, priorities shifted, and collaboration between stakeholders faltered. The gap between what was written and what was realised grew ever wider. While over 60% of the population lives within 4G coverage, many remain offline, not because of a lack of signal, but because they cannot afford to stay connected or lack the skills to navigate the digital world. In most African countries, the cost of 1GB of data exceeds 2% of the monthly GNI affordability benchmark, pricing millions out. The policy longed to help reframe what “universal access” really means. It dreamed of strategies rooted in local realities, addressed affordability head-on, and placed an internet-enabled device in every home, with digital skills in every classroom. The policy dreamed of being put to work, to foster a digital evolution built on four interconnected pillars of Technology, Policy, Process, and People. It wanted to be co-created, adapted, and measured—not just admired. It knew that the most effective policies were those treated as living documents, shaped by ongoing dialogue between government, startups, investors, and civil society. It looked at Nigeria’s Startup Act and saw the potential: a policy designed for impact, grounded in ecosystem needs. Yet, it was rolled out with lukewarm execution – its promise is still alive but stalled. The policy also admired Sierra Leone’s approach, where frameworks were built from the ground up, mapped to the lived experiences of young people, entrepreneurs, and local communities. That’s what it wanted to be: real, relevant, and responsive. It yearned to be part of a robust policy infrastructure, one that included: co-created frameworks that brought together all ecosystem actors, multi-stakeholder collaboration to ensure buy-in and relevance, capacity development so implementers had the skills and resources to act, and monitoring and evaluation to adapt and sustain progress. The policy imagined itself as a tool that was regularly referenced, revised, and used to solve problems. It wanted to be the backbone of digital public infrastructure, supporting digital IDs, payments, and data exchanges that would unlock inclusion and innovation at scale. Each day the policy sat idle, it bore witness to lost potential. A generation, poised to make up 42% of the world’s youth by 2030, is being locked out of the digital economy. From its dusty perch, the policy watched entrepreneurs stall before they could scale, investors retreat, and governments fumble at cross-border cooperation. It came to understand something deeply sobering: policy paralysis wasn’t just administrative inertia, but a crisis that denied millions the tools to imagine, create, and thrive. It recognised that implementation was the greatest impediment to development in Africa. The policy longed for a new approach, one where political commitment, private sector engagement, and regional cooperation would align to turn vision into reality. From shelf to street: A call to action One day, a policymaker entered the room in search of inspiration. Dusting off the policy, they read its pages anew. They saw not just words, but a roadmap for action. A big tent approach, inspired by a convention of stakeholders- government officials, tech entrepreneurs, educators, and community leaders. Together, they reimagined the policy as a living tool. They set clear objectives, allocated resources, and established mechanisms for feedback and adaptation. The policy was finally put to work. It guided investments in digital infrastructure, shaped regulations to lower costs and encourage innovation, and supported digital literacy programs for youth and women. It became the foundation for public-private partnerships, the blueprint for startup support, and the reference point for harmonising efforts across ministries and borders. As the policy was implemented, the digital divide began to narrow. More Africans gained access to the internet at an affordable price. Startups flourished, creating jobs and driving economic growth. Governments delivered services more efficiently, and communities became connected. A new mindset for policy The policy’s journey from lonely document to living utility was a testament to a new mindset. Policymakers, implementers, and citizens alike came to see policy not as a static asset but as a tool for progress. They understood that the poverty line of the future would be drawn not by income alone, but by access to digital opportunity. No longer lonely, the policy became part of a vibrant ecosystem, revised, referenced,

Next Wave: Neobanks are coming for small banks, not big ones

Click to register for TC Battlefield First published 15 June, 2025 Neobanks are coming for small banks, not big ones Africa’s neobanks are not “challenging” the big banks. That war never started, and likely never will. Standard Bank, Ecobank, KCB, GTBank, and the National Bank of Egypt — these institutions are too entrenched. They’re politically connected, well-capitalised, and integral to state economies. They handle government salaries, disburse donor funds, and sit at the centre of domestic clearing and cross-border payments. No neobank, however well-funded or ambitious, is coming for their lunch, at least not yet. But something far more urgent and disruptive is happening beneath that top tier. Across the continent, the base of Africa’s financial ecosystem — microfinance banks, credit-only lenders, SACCOs, and Tier 3 and 4 commercial banks — is quietly slumping. This underlayer has long been the primary interface between formal finance and the informal economy. And as it breaks down, it creates a vacuum that neobanks are now racing to fill. This is not a story of fintech versus banks. It’s a story of systemic transition — a slow-motion implosion at the bottom of the banking pyramid and the scramble to build something better in its place. A broken business model Let’s start with the fundamentals: about 50% of Africa’s formal financial institutions are no longer viable at scale. Across East Africa, average non-performing loan (NPL) ratios at microfinance institutions (MFIs) now exceed 30%. In Kenya, the Central Bank’s latest Banking Sector Report notes that some licensed MFIs and Tier II and III banks have NPLs as high as 20%, with some undercapitalised and technically insolvent. In Uganda, the situation is similar — Tier 4 institutions report average portfolio-at-risk (PAR), the percentage of loans overdue in a period, figures above 25%. These are not temporary shocks but structural failures. The economics of traditional microfinance are breaking down. These institutions rely heavily on physical branches, manual credit assessments, and paper-heavy customer onboarding. That means higher cost-to-income ratios and poor scalability, especially when serving low-ticket borrowers. Some Savings and Credit Cooperatives (SACCOs), for example, spend upwards of 60% of their revenue just to maintain their physical infrastructure and staff. Next Wave continues after this ad.

Join us as we champion the theme “Made in Uganda: Innovation to Market.” through high-impact discussions, deal-making, and exclusive insights into science-driven ventures across East Africa. Register here! Regulators are also piling on compliance costs, enforcing banking-grade reporting requirements on institutions still operating with off-the-shelf core banking software and Excel spreadsheets. Most of these lenders lack robust APIs or cloud infrastructure. Few can support instant payments, embedded finance, or mobile onboarding. The gap between what the informal economy needs and what the formal sector can deliver is growing daily. Regulators are stretched thin Compounding the problem is regulatory fatigue. Many African central banks do not have the capacity or tools to monitor hundreds of small financial institutions effectively. In Kenya, the Central Bank (CBK) regulates licensed commercial and microfinance banks and payment service providers (PSPs). Meanwhile, the Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA) — which lacks the technical capacity — oversees more than 1,000 SACCOs and dozens of digital lenders, many of which submit only quarterly reports, often in Excel spreadsheets. There’s little room for proactive supervision, let alone innovation. The result is a foundational collapse of the institutions most responsible for reaching Africa’s underbanked populations. Demand has shifted While small legacy lenders scramble, the informal economy, which makes up more than 85% of Africa’s workforce, is modernising from the bottom up. Today’s traders, farmers, logistics riders, or gig workers don’t want to queue at a branch. They want mobile-first accounts, instant disbursements, seamless payments, and transparent credit scoring. They want to save, borrow, and insure using the same app they use to shop or order a ride. Most small traditional lenders can’t offer that. And that’s exactly where neobanks are stepping in. Neobanks as the new base Neobanks like Moniepoint (Nigeria), Kuda, Umba, Finclusion, and Carbon are not fighting for elite customers in boardrooms and golf courses. They are building infrastructure to serve the next 100 million financially active Africans — the street vendors, informal traders, kiosk owners, and smallholder farmers abandoned by failing MFIs and SACCOs. Take Moniepoint’s recent bid to acquire Kenya’s Sumac Microfinance Bank — a small, Nairobi-based lender with roughly 30,000 customers and a branch-heavy legacy model. The deal, approved by Kenya’s competition authority and now awaiting Central Bank clearance, is not about expanding into traditional banking. It’s about retooling the inclusion infrastructure.

Visa has partnered with Yellow Card, a crypto company that has processed $6 billion in transactions (mostly in USDT and USDC), to bring stablecoin payments to emerging markets. Both companies are testing a new integration on Visa Direct that will allow businesses and individuals to send and receive stablecoins. While Visa is no newcomer to experimenting with stablecoins, its latest move comes just weeks after Stripe made a big internet splash by launching stablecoin payments in 101 countries, including several markets in Africa. Everybody is gung ho about stablecoins because they help businesses solve FX liquidity crunch. Stablecoins are digital versions of fiat money. They are digital tokens backed 1:1 by fiat reserves (like the US dollar), so they keep circulating as long as those reserves hold. That makes it easier and cheaper for businesses in cash-strapped markets to move money without waiting on slow, expensive bank rails. Regulatory clarity is also making companies take a second look. Countries like Japan, the UK, and Brazil are laying down legal frameworks for stablecoins. The US also passed a recent bill to govern stablecoin issuance and oversight. With more corridors easing up on stablecoins, the legal clarity is giving traditional finance players room to move. What used to feel like crypto’s wild west now has rules, and with the nimbleness of stablecoins, businesses can expand their services faster. With more traditional finance players committing to the script, stablecoins are starting to look like finance’s next infrastructure layer.

Sabi cuts staff as it narrows its focus to commodities’ trade
Nigerian B2B e-commerce startup Sabi laid off roughly 50 staff members, about 20% of its workforce, in a broad restructuring to pivot to traceability services in Africa’s minerals and agricultural commodities market. In recent months, the company, founded in 2021 to provide digital tools for logistics and financing to merchants, has scaled back certain products to focus on its TRACE platform, which tracks minerals and agricultural goods for global buyers. Sabi’s narrower focus rendered some roles redundant, driving the job cuts. The layoffs, spanning multiple departments, are typical of businesses when they recalibrate strategies. “We’re doubling down on the part of our business seeing the most demand, built on the strong foundation we’ve laid since 2021, by supporting African merchants and their growth,” a company spokesperson wrote in an email to TechCabal. Sabi’s pivot centres on its TRACE platform, developed in partnership with Minespider, which leverages blockchain technology to create digital passports to trace the sourcing and shipment of mineral and agricultural goods. These passports track environmental, social, and governance data, as well as quality certifications, providing end-to-end transparency for buyers in Europe, Asia, and beyond. TRACE aims to standardise small- and medium-scale mining operations to ensure commodities meet international standards, a service that has become more essential as global scrutiny of ethical sourcing intensifies. Sabi, founded in 2021 by Ademola Adesina and Anu Adedoyin Adasolum, has been scaling rapidly to serve over 300,000 merchants and facilitating more than $1 billion in annualised gross merchandise value, per reports. The company has raised nearly $60 million to scale the business. The latest round, a $38 million Series B round in 2024, valued Sabi at $300 million, underscored investor enthusiasm for platforms digitising Africa’s trade economy. “While tough, this shift positions us for long-term success and ensures we remain focused on building scalable, responsible supply chains,” the company said in an email to TechCabal. “Our mission remains the same, and we’re more committed than ever to transforming how the world sources from Africa.” Mark your calendars!

MTN, Airtel, others will now deduct USSD charges from airtime, as banks clear ₦180bn debt
Nigerian telecom operators have officially begun migrating banks to a new billing system that allows customers to make short codes or Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) transactions directly from their airtime balance. In the past, banks deducted USSD fees from customers’ bank accounts but often failed to remit payments to telecom providers. The new billing comes into place following the payment of a long-standing ₦180 billion debt owed by 13 banks to operators. According to Gbenga Adebayo, president of the Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), three banks still in debt have opted for instalment payments which are nearing completion. “I would say 95% of the USSD debt has been paid pre-API,” Adebayo said, noting that the repayment has enabled the gradual rollout of end-user billing, where customers will now be charged from their airtime after each successful USSD session. The migration started with one bank; the rest of the banks will be migrated as soon as a Service Level Agreement (SLA) is signed.

However, a deep financial rift emerged when banks, despite billing customers for these transactions, stopped remitting payments to telecoms for the use of their infrastructure. By 2024, the debt had ballooned to over ₦250 billion ($166.67 million at ₦1,500/$). Originally, USSD services were priced comparably to SMS rates. Banks used this to push mobile financial access to millions, and within a year of rollout, over 20 million new users were added to the formal financial system, according to Adebayo. However, as usage grew, banks saw a business opportunity. They lobbied regulators—the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC)—to zero-rate USSD services to promote financial inclusion. Yet, customers continued to pay for their transactions, creating a mismatch: banks earned revenue from a service they claimed had “no cost,” but refused to pay telecoms for the infrastructure they used. Despite a 2020 joint public circular mandating that banks pay ₦6.98 per USSD session, compliance remained low. One revealing incident in Abuja saw a bank executive deny that his bank charged for USSD, only for a live demo to expose that charges were indeed deducted from a user’s account moments after a transaction. How end-user billing works To resolve this financial gridlock, the CBN and NCC introduced a new model: instead of banks deducting USSD fees from customer accounts and remitting them to telecoms (which they failed to do), telecoms will now charge customers directly via airtime. At the heart of end-user billing is a system designed to improve transparency, accountability, and consistency in how USSD charges are applied to subscribers. Transparency is enhanced by a new prompt that appears before each transaction. Customers will now receive a clear message informing them of the ₦6.98 fee and asking for their consent to proceed. This ensures users are fully aware of the charges and can choose whether or not to continue with the transaction. Accountability is built into the process. Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) can only deduct the fee after the customer’s bank confirms it is ready to process the transaction. This safeguard helps reduce failed sessions and eliminates the risk of customers being

Visa, Yellow Card partner to allow businesses send and receive stablecoins in 90 countries
Visa has partnered with Yellow Card, a pan-African stablecoin infrastructure company, to bring cross-border stablecoin payments to over 90 countries across Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (CEMEA). The partnership will allow both companies to test stablecoin integration on Visa Direct, a service which lets businesses send money directly to customers’ bank accounts or to the accounts linked to their debit or credit cards. With this move, businesses will be able to hold dollars in stablecoins and send money easily across borders. The partnership fits into Visa’s broader strategy to modernise payment systems across the CEMEA region. The focus is on making money transfers faster, cheaper, and available every day of the year by integrating stablecoins into its existing infrastructure. Businesses, particularly in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) where stablecoin adoption has shown strong potential, stand to benefit most from this partnership. Between June 2022 and July 2024, the SSA region received at least $500 billion in stablecoin remittances each month. In Ethiopia, businesses have adopted stablecoins for cross-border payments, leading to a 180% year-over-year increase in low-value transfers. In Nigeria, stablecoins like USDT are now among the most traded currencies on crypto exchanges, often used to hedge against currency instability. “Traditional payment companies continue to question not ‘if’ they need a stablecoin strategy, but how quickly they can deploy one,” said Chris Maurice, CEO and co-founder of Yellow Card. “We are thrilled to partner with Visa to help realise the potential of stablecoins technology in emerging economies.” Quidax, Yellow Card, Busha bet on B2B crypto payments to grow market share Visa’s interest in stablecoins started in 2021, when it launched a pilot with Singapore-based crypto firm, Crypto.com, to settle transactions using USDC. This marked one of the first times a major payments network used a stablecoin for settlement. Since then, Visa has expanded to support other blockchains like Solana and opened up these services to more financial institutions. By 2023, Visa allowed clients to settle obligations in USDC and has since processed over $225 million in stablecoin transactions. Globally, interest in stablecoins continues to grow, as the digital asset is currently experiencing an adoption boom. In the past month alone, stablecoin transactions hit $4.1 trillion, eclipsing even what Visa processes quarterly. Shopify has introduced stablecoin payments with Circle, the USDC stablecoin issuer, and Coinbase, a US crypto firm. Stripe is also testing stablecoin payments in 101 countries. Walmart and Amazon are mulling plans to introduce their own platform-native stablecoins, per Wall Street Journal. In Africa, the naira-backed cNGN stablecoin now has ₦165.4 million in circulation and is listed on crypto platforms like Busha and Quidax. Amid this surge, Visa sees an opportunity to expand its role in institutional payments through strategic bets. “In 2025, we believe that every institution that moves money will need a stablecoin strategy,” said Godfrey Sullivan, Visa’s senior vice president and head of product for CEMEA. “As more players explore this new technology, Visa is ready to support them with the tools and experience they need to succeed.” Mark your calendars!

On the morning of June 19, thousands of Mukuru customers in South Africa woke up to missing funds from their accounts. Some found their balances down by thousands of rand or to zero. Mukuru blamed a technical glitch for the error adding that it is only how balances are shown that has been affected not the actual funds in users’ accounts. “All funds are safe and the issue only impacted how balances were shown, not the actual funds,” Mukuru told TechCabal. Nevertheless, the glitch has caused panic for users, especially Zimbabwean migrants, who rely on the platform for daily financial transactions and cross-border remittances. User Bekinkosi Goromondo said his wife received an early morning call from a friend urging her to check her Mukuru account. “She found her balance short by R4,000 (over $200). She called me, and I saw R200 (over $11) missing from mine. When I called Mukuru, customer service confirmed a technical glitch and promised it would be fixed by the end of the day,” he said. Ntombi Dube, who discovered her account was R1,300 (about $74) short around midday, immediately withdrew the remaining funds out of fear. “With panic, I removed the remaining balance as I was saving it for something important,” she said.

Many remain worried about the safety of their funds. Mukuru is one of Africa’s largest money transfer and financial services platforms, with over 16 million customers and more than 150 info centres across South Africa. The company’s South African user base is predominantly composed of Zimbabwean migrants, the largest migrant group in the country, who rely on Mukuru to send money home. This incident comes against a backdrop of heightened scrutiny over the platform’s digital security. In Zimbabwe, two employees were charged with stealing US$100,000 using fraudulent accounts on the platform. In South Africa, the platform uncovered a sophisticated fraud ring involving SIM swaps totalling over R18 million (nearly $1 million), more a factor of customer vulnerabilities than a breach of Mukuru’s security systems. This episode also comes as South Africa tightens electronic funds transfer (EFT) regulations, requiring greater due diligence and enhanced fraud protections for cross-border transactions. These regulatory shifts aim to bolster the security of digital payments, especially for the region’s large migrant and remittance-dependent communities. For now, Mukuru says the technical issue has not compromised customer funds and is working to restore account balances to normal. Customers have been notified about the glitch and are encouraged to monitor their accounts and contact Mukuru support for any unresolved issues. This is a developing story. Mark your calendars!

Tecno Pop 9 review: What phone sellers and users think about it in 2025
If you’re in Nigeria and looking for a smartphone that won’t drain your pocket, chances are the Tecno Pop 9 has already caught your eye. In 2025, the prices of nearly everything, from food to basic items, keep going up. And with the Naira still struggling, it’s no surprise that many people are turning to budget-friendly phones that simply get the job done. In this review, you’ll find everything you need to know, official specs, what everyday users are saying, and even insights from phone sellers who know what sells and why. So if you’re wondering if the Pop 9 is worth your money in 2025, let’s break it down, simply and clearly. Image source: FRED’S TECH HUB on YouTube Tecno Pop 9: Specs and features First, a quick heads-up: there are two Tecno Pop 9 models, one supports 4G, the other 5G. The 5G version offers a 48MP camera, NFC, and faster charging. However, in Nigeria, the 4G model is what is widely available. That’s our focus here; it comes with a 13MP camera and more modest specs. 1. Display The Pop 9 features a 6.6–6.67″ HD+ screen. It’s not Full HD, but sharp enough for browsing, watching videos, and reading. A standout feature is its smooth 120Hz refresh rate (some versions have a 90Hz refresh rate), which makes scrolling feel fluid. With up to 480 nits brightness, it stays visible under sunlight. 2. Performance Powered by a Unisoc T615 processor, the phone handles everyday tasks like browsing, messaging, and light gaming fairly well. You can choose between 3GB or 4GB of RAM, paired with 64GB or 128GB of storage. “Extended RAM” adds a slight performance boost. It runs Android 14 Go Edition, optimised for lower RAM. While most users find it smooth, some report occasional lag, particularly with heavier usage or multiple apps open. 3. Battery Life This is one of the Pop 9’s strongest points. The 5000mAh battery can last a full day or more, with Tecno claiming up to 60 days on standby. Charging speed varies: some models support 15W fast charging, while others are limited to 10W, which can take approximately 2.5 hours, slower than the 18W charging speed on the older Pop 8. 4. Camera The rear camera is 13MP with dual flash; the front is 8MP, also with flash. You’ll find basic modes like beauty, portrait, and wide-angle selfie, with video capped at 1080p, 30fps. For daylight photos or social media, the quality is decent. Just don’t expect stunning night shots or pro-level detail. Many users expected more, especially considering the capable T615 chip. 5. Design & Extras With a glass front and plastic back, the Pop 9 feels lightweight (189g) and sleek; some users say it gives iPhone vibes. It’s IP54-rated (dust/splash resistant), and includes a side fingerprint scanner, an IR remote, and Tecno’s “Wet & Oily Touch Control” for better screen response in humid conditions. However, several users miss features like split-screen, screenshot gestures, and innovative tools that were present in earlier models. 6. Connectivity & Sound You get dual SIM slots, 4G LTE/4.5G (LTE-A), USB-C, a 3.5mm headphone jack, FM radio, and GPS. There’s no NFC on this version. The DTS dual speakers offer surprisingly decent sound for the price. Best Tecno phone in Nigeria (2025): specs, & prices What Nigerians told us about using the Tecno Pop 9 To get a real feel for how the Tecno Pop 9 performs, we decided to go straight to the source, the people using it daily. We spoke to Tecno Pop 9 users across Nigeria, asking them what they honestly think about the phone. From casual users to mobile gamers and small business owners, here’s what they told us. 1. The general vibe: Mostly happy, but not without flaws When we asked users how they’d describe the Pop 9 in one word, the most common responses were “good,” “reliable,” and “cool.” Several people even called it the best in the Pop series so far. Overall, most folks using it for everyday stuff like messaging, browsing, and light multitasking are satisfied. 2. Performance: Smooth for some, laggy for others Here’s where things got interesting. Some users said the phone is “fast,” “runs WhatsApp and Facebook without stress,” and even handles light gaming like Call of Duty Mobile. But a few others gave us a reality check: one user said the phone sometimes “freezes during calls,” while another mentioned a “20-second delay before it picks up.” A few also noticed it gets warm after gaming. So while Tecno promises a four-year smooth performance, the real-world experience depends on how you use the phone. If you stick to light apps and casual use, it performs well. But if you’re a power user, you might start to see some slowdowns. 3. Battery life: One of the best things about it When we asked what they loved most about the phone, almost everyone mentioned the battery. One university student told us, “It lasts me from morning classes to late-night browsing.” Another user said they easily get up to two days with light use. Even heavy users who stream videos and use mobile data all day said the battery “holds up better than expected.” The 5000mAh battery is one of the Pop 9’s best features. 4. Camera: Okay for socials, but don’t expect magic We asked people how they felt about the camera, and the general response was, “It’s okay.” For everyday photos and short social clips, most users say it does the job, especially in good lighting. But when it comes to video quality or low-light shots, people weren’t impressed. One user simply called it “meh,” while another said, “Videos come out blurry at night.” In short, it’s not a content creator’s dream, but it works for casual use. The bottom line from users If you’re looking for a reliable budget smartphone that handles daily tasks and doesn’t constantly need charging, the Tecno Pop 9 is a strong pick. It’s not perfect, especially if you’re into

Exclusive: Chpter’s Flutterwave deal opens 11 new markets for WhatsApp-based selling
Chpter, the Kenyan software startup building infrastructure for social commerce, has expanded into 11 more African countries through a deal with fintech company Flutterwave. The new markets are Ghana, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Egypt, Burkina Faso, Malawi and Zambia, expanding its presence in Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa. The deal allows Chpter customers to accept payments using mobile money, cards and bank transfers. Merchants in the new countries can collect payments in local currencies or USD. Flutterwave will process and settle the transactions in the background. The partnership also signals Chpter’s shift to an AI-first product approach, considering the company has introduced sales and customer service AI agents and restructured its team to support that direction. It’s also testing the idea that Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) can work at scale in Africa if pricing and product design match local conditions. Chpter also recently launched Pluto, its WhatsApp API suite aimed at helping developers and businesses build full customer journeys on WhatsApp. “To give you a sense of the momentum, it took us 14 months to acquire our first 1,000 merchants. This year alone, we’ve acquired 1,500 more in under 4 months,” Tesh Mbaabu, co-founder and president at Chpter told TechCabal. He declined to share the company’s current customer count. About 45% of Chpter’s customer interactions are handled by AI, Mbaabu added. “We see a future where over 80% of engagements will be handled by AI as our capabilities improve and trust increases.” Chpter provides businesses with tools to sell directly through chat apps like WhatsApp and Instagram. It lets merchants manage orders, accept payments, automate messages and run marketing campaigns from one dashboard. Chpter is also a Meta Business Partner, which grants it access to features such as product catalogues for in-chat checkout, marketing campaign tools, and a dashboard that consolidates conversations from different platforms. WhatsApp and Instagram now account for up to 60% of inbound traffic for the businesses using Chpter, CEO Mark Kiarie said. “We have been onboarding dozens of new businesses every week, and many of these businesses are coming from markets such as Senegal and Tanzania, despite us not having done any direct outreach there yet. This partnership means these businesses can now go live on Chpter and start accepting payments directly via WhatsApp and Instagram.” Chpter raised $1.2 million in pre-seed funding in September 2024. The round was led by Pani, the investment firm co-founded by former Cellulant CEO Ken Njoroge. Other backers include Techstars, Norrsken, Renew Capital and several angel investors. Chpter has also participated in accelerator programmes run by Norrsken and Safaricom. The company operates on a subscription model, with fees ranging from $50 to $550 per month, depending on business size. It also earns revenue from paid messaging and AI-based customer interactions on Meta platforms. Mark your calendars! Moonshot by TechCabal is back in Lagos on October 15–16!
