Who Owns the Prompt?
The Hidden Risk of Everyday AI inside African Institutions
A nurse typing patient symptoms into ChatGPT. A teacher sharing student records with an AI tool to write reports faster. A government officer pasting citizen data into a summarisation tool to clear a backlog. Nobody is being reckless — they are trying to do their jobs in under-resourced environments with whatever works. But nobody told them what happened to that data after they hit send. This episode tells that story honestly and asks what responsibility looks like when the people most exposed are also the least informed.

Build with Us, Not for Us
What does it really mean to build technology for African communities? Our inaugural meetup opened the conversation — exploring co-creation, community ownership, and what it takes to ship products people actually want.
Honest Conversations About Technology in Africa
Africa's tech ecosystem is growing fast — but the conversations that shape it don't always include the people building inside it. The Mjanga Meetup is our commitment to changing that: one practical, grounded conversation every month.
No gatekeeping. No jargon for jargon's sake. Just people who care about what technology actually does for communities, showing up and talking about it.
