Africa’s fintech scene is buzzing and if payments are the lifeblood of business, then PayGenius is quietly building the arteries.  In a recent Wired conversation with Mandilakhe Somdle, Sebastien Lacour Co-founder and CEO of PayGenius, unpacked how the company is scaling across the continent, tackling complexity head-on, and making it just a little easier for businesses to get paid (which, as it turns out, is quite important).

French South African Tech Labs (FSATLabs) today announced the launch of TerraFoundry, a pioneering climate-tech accelerator programme delivered with the support of the Western Cape Department of Economic Development and Tourism (DEDAT). The programme will support 40 climate-tech startups annually over three years, providing comprehensive ecosystem enablement, technical support, and investment readiness training.

When Mandilakhe Somdle of AfricArena sat down with Saad Jittou, Founder & CEO of Weego, what unfolded wasn’t just a startup story, it was a masterclass in building infrastructure where none exists.
