If they can, we can.
This video (link below) of Jack Ma introducing Alibaba's vision to his friends, is so inspiring!
“Look for the stars; you will eventually reach the sky.”
Have a global vision of your business and prepare yourself for the breakthrough (which will obviously come), not to become the best in your country but to compete with the best in the world; Naspers is a South African company!
Most African tech tycoons are the relays in Africa for the products of Western multinationals in the technology field. This niche is so lucrative for them that it contributes to strengthening the technological enslavement of Africa; technology transfer is an illusion because innovation establishes superiority and maintains dependence.
Everything starts from an imagination, which becomes an idea and materialises with actions over time; “Rome was not built in a day.”
If we have athletes like Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto'o, who were able to surpass Europeans in their field, even though they were born in Africa, therefore we have the capacity to produce champions; don't we have a Zimbabwean who runs Google?
This is why African states (everything in Africa revolves around politics and in China too, but differently) must set up units dedicated to technological innovation and incorporate it into the curriculum from middle school; DeepSeek is a Chinese government project.
If you don't want to be powerful, others will be, and you will suffer their dictates.
We do not need to create to become the best but you can improve and perfect what has already been created; "no one will recreate the wheel." Football comes from England, but the best footballers in terms of ratio are Brazilians and Argentinians.
In the field of technology and many others, Africa has always been and remains an importer. Are we not used to the talk from our leaders about the fact that we do not have the financial and technological resources to exploit and transform our natural resources? But no initiative has been taken in this direction to remedy this. The urgency must be how to generate these financial and technological resources in order to impact the entire world; the United States imported physicians and put resources at their disposal to create the atomic bomb based on the work of Einstein. DeepSeek only cost $6 million.
So what is our vision for the world?
If they have their social network, let's create ours; TikTok did it;
We can't have the sun all year round, but solar energy technology comes from the country that barely sees it;
This morning I ate chocolate produced from cocoa beans from Côte d'Ivoire but made in Switzerland;
We drive electric cars and use cell phones that our cobalt and coltan are essential to operate;
And the requirement for companies to go public is copied from the model of countries whose primary sector is as efficient as Africa tertiary sector.
Let's think big because we are also capable of innovating, competing, and impacting others. This was the summary of Jack Ma's speech to his colleagues: "We can match and compete against Silicon Valley. They are ahead in terms of hardware and systems, but by using what we have, as we are endowed with brains like them on the same level, with our vision and work, we can reach them and even surpass them."
