A computer engineer and professor at the University of Malawi runs this often updated blog roll on the state of technology, and its intersection with governmental policies, in Zimbabwe and Africa as a whole.
Excerpt:
“…Although I am not a fan of President Mugabe's strong speeches against the West, I am very excited with the opening of the biodiesel plant in Zimbabwe. I just hope that this plant will go a long way in solving Zimbabwe's economic problems. But I have one small question here. If the biodiesel plant revolutionizes Zimbabwe's economy as desired by most of us, will it create an African Chavez in Mugabe? Well, that aside, let me urge Malawi and other countries in the Sub Saharan Africa region to emulate Zimbabwe's example.”
