WATCH: Let’s join hands to ensure that Africa takes its rightful place in the digital world | IOL Business Report

CAPE TOWN – This is an important milestone in Africa's evolution and one that can bring about significant progress, especially with Africa finding itself on the cusp of the Fourth Industrial Revolution , where change and progression will be inevitable.

It is not a government's role to create jobs, but it is necessary to have the right political will to construct the frameworks that are necessary for growth across the board – whether environmental or economic. In today's digital world, it’s also increasingly important for governments to collaborate with each other, particularly in light of developments in cross-border payments and the like.

For many Africans, that future is already here – as is 4IR – and our time for readying for the future is past. Today is what matters. How we see the future starts in the now and, right now, we need to ensure that all Africans can access information and knowledge – when and where they want to.
