The innovation prize for Africa has announced 10 nominees for its Annual Innovation Prize for Africa among whom is March Arthur Zang from Cameroon. He is selected among a record number of  922 applications from 42 African countries. It looks like tech business is the new Silicon Valley for Africa. No doubt that some of those who run the tech world say, "coding is the new literacy". You can't code, you can't permeate the virtual sphere with ease. I now see how imperative it is for the little ones to get into acquiring the basic computer skills including coding. photo: parismatch.com   According to information from http://innovationprizeforafrica.org/aif-announces-the-10-nominees/ , Marc Arthur Zang, Cameroon developed the   The cardio-pad .  It is a n affordable tablet that records and processes the patient’s ECG (heart signal) before transferring it to a remote station using mobile phone networks.

Thanks to a few organisations, and my all round hero, I've been to a few countries in the world from SA, Madrid, Malta, France, UK, Belgium, Sweden, and Holland. I rarely do come back and say I visited this or that, but I cannot resist the urge to say something about the beautiful and highly hospitable Tenerife next to the exciting city of Santa Cruz. My most memorable moments was the warmth I felt having escaped the mid period of winter for a break. It was unusually happy because of the weather. When we arrived Tenerife like in most of the countries we've travelled to, all eyes were on us; apparently translating that message of so these ones can make it to the Mediterranean Palace.

I am going to talk about racial hatred, but first I want to cast your minds back to my personal experience with South Africa. I was sponsored to visit the country for a training in 2007 by Reuters Foundation, and Sandton, I must admit was beautiful, but unusually quiet for a huge city like Johannesburg. That was my first impression. In 2008 when I visited SA for the second time, the little town of Grahamstown was to me the loveliest, but most cautious little town I had ever visited. It was a conducive environment for the purpose to which I embarked on the journey. I later found out the reason for the city's cautious appearance. I noted that whites lived in separate quarters from blacks. The most pertinent question is, what whiteman in his sane mind would want to mix with people who take no sympathy for their own? Should I think that segregation in SA is somewhat a good which operates to protect whites?  Are all immigrants in South Africa black? This is not to suggest anyone r
