Rwanda Launches First 'made In Africa' Smartphones by Pantoo: 8:37pm On Oct 08, 2019 |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvb0lJuJKcE This is the first smartphone manufacturer in Africa," Thakkar told Reuters after touring the company alongside Rwanda's President Paul Kagame. Companies assemble smartphones in Egypt, Ethiopia, Algeria and South Africa, but import the components, he said. "We are actually the first who are doing manufacturing. We are making the motherboards, we are making the sub-boards during the entire process,” he said. "There are over 1,000 pieces per phone." Thakkar said the plant had cost $24 million and could make 1,200 phones per day. Mara Group hopes to profit from the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, a pact aimed at forming a 55-nation trade bloc, to boost sales across Africa, Thakkar said. The agreement is due to begin trading in July next year, aiming to unite 1.3 billion people and create a $3.4 trillion economic bloc. But it is still in the very early stages and no timelines have been agreed for abolishing tariffs. |

This is very nice. Now, Africans have something to enjoy, while waiting for Biafra to offer the best. |

Rwanda is really growing fast and setting a good pace for other African countries, but I fear if they would sustain it when the President finally leaves office. I hope they do! |
