Nvidia has become the first publicly traded company to briefly surpass a $4 trillion market valuation, marking a historic moment in the AI-driven tech boom. Though the chipmaker’s value closed slightly below that threshold, the milestone reflects the explosive demand for its industry-leading AI processors.

As Apple grapples with delayed AI integration, Nvidia’s dominance grows—fueled by surging investment from tech giants like Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Amazon, who are expected to spend over $325 billion on AI this year, much of which will benefit Nvidia.

The company’s meteoric rise—from $400 billion in early 2023 to $4 trillion in 2024—has made CEO Jensen Huang a tech icon, often called the “godfather of AI.” Despite market turbulence earlier this year and U.S. chip export restrictions to China, Nvidia continues to post record profits, with its next earnings report due August 27.

According to Synthesia CEO Victor Riparbelli, we may be the last generation to rely heavily on reading and writing. With the rise of AI, immersive video, AR, and VR, written content could soon be replaced by interactive, personalized learning experiences.

He argues that this shift isn’t negative — it could spark a new era of faster, more engaging education. As video becomes more dominant, younger generations may learn more effectively through tech-driven formats, not despite them.

Temu, the Chinese e-commerce giant, has officially launched a local warehouse in South Africa—its boldest move since entering the market in early 2024. This development hints at faster delivery times, including next-day shipping on some items. However, key details remain unclear: it’s unknown whether the warehouse holds local inventory or imported goods, and no logistics partners have been confirmed.

Temu’s entrance into South Africa hasn’t been smooth. Local retailers previously criticized the platform and its rival Shein for allegedly exploiting tax loopholes. While SARS has taken steps to enforce stricter import duties, Temu has already gained traction with its aggressive pricing, viral marketing tactics, and fast-paced growth strategy.

By outsourcing logistics and focusing on lean operations, Temu continues to challenge traditional players like Jumia and Konga. With a warehouse now on the ground, Temu’s presence in Africa is only getting stronger.

After nearly three years of restrictions, Nigerian banks have reopened international transactions for naira debit cards. UBA and Wema Bank are leading the charge, enabling their Naira Mastercards and Premium Naira Cards for global use—including online purchases, POS payments, and ATM withdrawals abroad.

The original ban in 2022 stemmed from a severe foreign exchange crisis and macroeconomic instability. During that time, many Nigerians turned to virtual dollar card providers like Chipper Cash, Eversend, Cardtonic, and Payday.

Now, with growing confidence in Nigeria’s forex market, increased diaspora remittances, and signs of naira appreciation, the Central Bank has relaxed those limits. This shift puts pressure on fintechs to innovate or risk losing relevance, as users now reconsider the need to pay extra for services their bank cards can offer again.

Kenya has restricted access to Telegram during the June 25 anniversary protests, aiming to curb the flow of protest-related information. Protesters marked the 2024 uprising against tax hikes and poor governance, using Telegram and X to organize and share updates.

On the same day, Kenya’s media regulator banned live broadcast coverage of the demonstrations. The blackout has raised digital rights concerns, reflecting a growing trend of African governments shutting down social media to silence dissent.
