    Africa Tech Kin with Danny that Guy: POTRAZ Q4 2025 Report: Data now over 50% of Mobile Revenue, Starlink Market Share

    This week on The Africa Tech Kin, Danny that Guy breaks down the POTRAZ Q4 2025 Abridged Sector Performance Report. Internet and data services now account for 50.75% of mobile network operator revenue in Zimbabwe, the first quarter that data has crossed the halfway mark. Active mobile subscriptions reached 16.78 million, mobile data traffic grew 11.27% to 160.33 petabytes, and WhatsApp alone accounted for one in every five megabytes consumed. Operating costs grew nearly twice as fast as revenue, prompting ICT Minister Tatenda Mavetera to task POTRAZ Director-General Dr. Gift Machengete with cost-based pricing reviews. The episode then examines the market share data for fixed internet traffic, where Liquid Intelligent Technologies dropped from 58.9% to 48.41% in a single quarter while Starlink Zimbabwe rose from 26.73% to 35.05%. Liquid's actual data traffic fell in absolute terms, suggesting Starlink is capturing existing heavy users rather than only new subscribers. Danny also covers the Third National Data Privacy Symposium in Bulawayo, where Mavetera revealed Zimbabwe has been nominated by SADC partners to lead regional data protection capacity building. Zimbabwe has now certified 1,070 Data Protection Officers, with 215 added in 2025. After the break, the show explains TN CyberTech Investments Holdings' plan to tokenise live cattle through TN Livestock Trust and list the tokens on the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange, with a 20% annual coupon and the option to redeem for cash or physical livestock. Analysts Kudakwashe Taimo of Fincent Securities and Tafara Mtutu raise concerns about disease, mortality, theft, beef price volatility and regulatory readiness. The episode then looks at the global movement to restrict children's access to social media. Rwanda's ICT Minister Paula Ingabire announced on 29 April that Rwanda is drafting legislation to ban under-16s from Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. The same day, the European Commission issued preliminary findings against Meta under the Digital Services Act for failing to prevent under-13s from accessing Instagram and Facebook, with potential fines of up to 6% of global annual turnover. The final story covers the launch of Amazon Supply Chain Services on 4 May 2026, which opens Amazon's freight, distribution, fulfilment and parcel shipping network to outside businesses. UPS and FedEx shares fell on the news. Hosted by Danny that Guy on ZiFM Stereo.
