What about Kenyas' CHAKITA,

Chakita started in 1998 as an organ for the promotion of Swahili in Kenya, were as TUKI (currently TAasisi ya TAaluma ya Kiswahili), part of the University of Dar es salaam conducts research on the Swahili language whili BAKITA regulates Kiswahili not only in Tanzania but also abroad. That is why the only respected Swahili dictionary is the TUKI Kamusi. Nyie mkimalizana na BBI undeneni tume kwaajili ya Sheng.

Congratulations fam we've hit 8,000 pages of repititive argument...This thread was suppose to close at page 70 after feeding those east African idiots raw facts but no, the crazy need to seek relevance and attention is stronger than common sense

The title of this thread will never change,its true to the last page of this forum.

Kiswahili is the language of the common man, but business language will remain English. You need to work on getting your kids to learn and comprehend English. All that Kiswahili as you were told by some here is a regional language that will help you within eastern and great lakes..but outside..it pretty useless.

He has a chip on his shoulder but surely what development can he hope to achieve without regional integration and trade. Despite his KaziKazi inane propaganda about building 'engineering' stuff - Tanzania's economy is suffering. And that is despite Magufuli forcing their Stats body to fiddle with figures.

Kenya economy is now nearly 100B dollars while they are at 60B.

I actually feel pain seeing the flat growth of the Moi era. Yes, I said he was an innovative moderniser in his iwn way but still....

Kenya videoconferencing startup hopes to rival zoom

By Judah Ben-Hur | June 22nd 2020 at 12:44:30 GMT +0300

A small Kenyan startup is moving to secure its space in the booming telecommunication industry. Gumzo which means chatting in Swahili costs only one dollar a week for those who want to host an online meeting; less than a third the price of Zoom’s pro plan.

Gumzo’s creator Jay Shapiro says that he created the app so that companies can spend some of their cash in Africa. The app stands out with its adaptability on all mobile phones, not just smartphones.

“In Africa, it’s a mobile first continent and so our platform had to work and work well on a variety of phone interfaces,” says Shapiro.

Ronald Mahondo who runs an app-based taxi company is already using Gumzo for his meetings.

“No one really wants to move around. We have found ourselves using videoconferencing solutions. If you look at our team (in Gumzo), a small part comes to the office while the bigger part stays and works from home,” Says Mahondo.

It is through the app that members of this rising start up get in touch and get the job done.

Gumzo is coming into a field with already rooted tech giants such as zoom, skype, google meet and Facebook Messenger but according to Shapiro, they bank on new language platforms to set them apart.

“Our platforms are available in English and Swahili and French for Francophone Africa already. We are adding Zulu, Hausa and Pidgin in the next two weeks. We really want to be across the continent and reaching as many communities as we can in their local languages,” says Shapiro

I won't blame him for the 80s - but definitely the 90s. The 80s was global crisis and our population growth eventually ate all that growth. The 90s was basically a lost decade..best forgotten.

funny enough they'll be so proud of their undoubtedly acquired light features even when it's known they lack the allele for being lightskin. Ironically they'll be the first people to accuse others of white worshiping while at the same time insult others cause of their darkskin.

Global frequency distribution of Ala111Thr allele of the SLC24A5 gene. Ancestral allele is shown in yellow, derived allele in blue.

This is a A/G SNP in the coding region of SLC24A5 gene. This SNP results in non-synonymous substitution Alanine(GCA) -> Threonine(ACA) at aminoacid position 111 of the gene. The derived allele (T= Thr) has been associated with light skin pigmentation and is common in Europe, Southwest Asia, and Central Asia. This SNP has shown evidence of natural selection. This SNP is commonly included in panels of ancestry informative SNPs and in phenotype informative markers. Populations typed:118

Helios Towers to Invest $450 Million Of $1 Billion Raised for Expansion Into Sub-Saharan Africa

Telecom tower infrastructure company, Helios Towers, has announced its plan to invest $450 million from funds it just raised for expansion into more parts of Africa.

The funds will be pulled from $1 billion that the company just raised from the debt markets this week. With the funds, Helios Towers will be putting back to work the expansion plan it had before the Covid-19 pandemic.

In the expansion plan, Egypt, Madagascar, Ethiopia, and Morocco are target countries for the telecom infrastructures company. Morocco, Egypt, and Madagascar have some of Africa’s fastest internet speeds. Recent plans by the Ethiopian government to open its telecom industry to private investors have moved Ethiopia to the top of the priority list for Helios Towers.

Two new mobile licenses are up for auction and they come with a minority stake in the state monopoly. Ethiopia’s telecom sector is monopolized largely by Ethio Telecom, a state-owned telco. Ethio telecom controls to a large extent, fixed lines, broadband, and mobile telephones.

Privatisation of this sector will open up a need for infrastructure companies like Helios Tower and IHS Holdings Ltd. Bloomberg reports that this wave of expansion will create a need for about 10,000 new towers over the next 5 years.
“Ethiopia is a very big opportunity, and after a few months of being quiet, its government has requested new indications of interest from telecom operators. With that now back on the table, we are seeking a financing partner and working with mobile operators to be in a strong position to enter the market,” says Tom Greenwood, Helios Towers Chief Financial Officer
Helios Towers Market Expansion Plan

In October 2019, the company listed on the London Stock Exchange. It raised $364 million in the initial public offering a tad short of the $500 million target set for the company. With the fund, Helios’ plan was to expand into more of sub-Saharan Africa, build and buy new sites, as well as roll out 4th-generation mobile services.

The expansion plan is what is being revisited with the $1 billion funding that was just raised. Besides the $450 million for continent-wide expansion, most of the remnant of the fund will be used to refinance existing borrowings and the balance set aside for growth and expansion.

Meanwhile, Helios shares slumped 10% to 184 pence in London on Thursday, paring gains since the IPO to about 60%. The firm currently has 7,000 towers located in South Africa, Congo, Ghana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Tanzania. Its plan is to increase the number by building more towers and buying from other towercos who want to sell to raise cash.

Besides Helios, American Tower Corp and IHS Holdings Ltd are two other firms leveraging the cheaper and faster internet speeds to make more inroads into Africa.

As Ethiopia presents a business opportunity for telcos and towercos, Helios Towers is not the only firm interested in the country. Kenya’s Safaricom is in talks to form a consortium to enable it to bid for one of the country’s telecoms licenses. Vodacom, and France’s Orange are two telcos who may join the bidding game for the licenses.

They are only African people I know (from this thread) who think black skin is ugly and bad. When this thread just started - their biggest comeback was to claim a Kenya had black skin. That was supposed to their biggest insult . I learnt this what they do to Ghana. Nigeria is one sick country.

Good for Helios.The British company. I see their websites is full of Kenyan pictures. Helios is only as Nigerian as the British boxer Anthony Joshua.
