     Do you happen to work in the tech industry or be interested in it? Search for jobs in Kampala, Uganda or Kigali, Rwanda or Cape Town, South Africa or Pretoria, South Africa or Abidjan, Ivory Coast or Port Elizabeth, South Africa or Durban, South Africa or Maputo, Mozambique or Dakar, Senegal or Casablanca, Morocco or Douala, Cameroon or Nairobi, Kenya or Accra, Ghana or Rabat, Morocco or Windhoek, Namibia or Dar es Salaam, Tanzania or Conakry, Guinea or Luanda, Angola. There are countless other cities too. If you search these cities, you will be shocked at the modern skyline present for most of them.
