Many governments across Africa have been incredibly optimistic about technological advancements being the key to pull Africans from the developing space right into the developed.

One of these emerging technologies that have a lot of weight and emphasis pulled behind it is 5G. Certain analysts predict that 5G could add an additional $2.2-trillion to Africa’s economy by 2034.

However countries across the continent are struggling to launch the new technology due to either infrastructure challenges, adoption issues, the expensive nature of the technology and the devices needed to utilise it and even safety concerns around 5G.

Many African countries are currently testing 5G and a few have successfully launched the technology in a commercial nature.
