    Africa Tech Kin with Danny that Guy: EV's in Zimbabwe, NAMA Digital Arts Category, & The Africa Tech Summit Nairobi 2026

    In this episode of The Africa Tech Kin, host Danny that Guy explores Zimbabwe's growing electric vehicle market as BYD launches its full sales, servicing and spares operation in Harare, and we examine the realities of EV ownership in a country still building its charging infrastructure. We also look at the 2026 NAMA nominations, where Winky D's "Fake Love" — Zimbabwe's first fully AI-generated music video — is competing for Outstanding Music Video of the Year against traditionally produced works, raising important questions about how the arts sector values AI-created content. As your unofficial Tech Ombudsman, we cover the launch of Rerai Umntwana, a UNICEF-backed parenting app that makes Zimbabwe the first African country to adopt and localise this digital child health platform, and the rollout of 20 AI-powered traffic camera sites across Harare. We then turn to the Africa Tech Summit Nairobi 2026, unpacking the surge in cryptocurrency adoption across Sub-Saharan Africa, the interest in stablecoin as a solution, Africa's projected one-trillion-dollar cross-border payments market, and the 12 startups that pitched to investors and what their selection tells us about where opportunities lie for Zimbabwean innovators. We close with the global controversy around ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 AI video generator, which produced cinema-quality footage from simple text prompts and triggered immediate legal action from Disney, Paramount, SAG-AFTRA, and the Motion Picture Association.
