The grid inside the grid
Africa’s new AI factories promise digital sovereignty. Their electricity deals may instead create private power islands inside public systems.
https://africasacountry.com/2026/07/the-grid-inside-the-grid"That requires more than celebratory language about sovereignty. Governments should disclose the electricity, water, land, tax, and guarantee arrangements attached to large data center projects."

"In the anti-colonial frame, AI appears as a socio-technical order built through unequal material relations: not only data extraction, but also mineral supply chains, outsourced labor, environmental degradation, foreign-owned infrastructures, and asymmetrical control over the institutions that govern digital life."

"Spatial apartheid, displacement, and xenophobia in South Africa are recurring historical events."

The footballing gods
Why are the religious practices of African footballers treated as strange when athletes around the world turn to faith and superstition to navigate the game’s uncertainty?
