Stfu. What do u know is tech

Saddamochieng00:
Where do you think we get money for all this infrastructural projects? I'm talking massive regional and continental projects. You think we got some gold or coal deposits that we could dig up any time to satisfy our huge appetite.

For a flower and tea economy we're doing pretty well for ourselves. It's actually a shame that we're the only non mineral economy in here and still beat you+ the WA fvcks in most indexes.

AfriqueDuZuid:
No there's waterfall city and

then a 500ha next to it

AfriqueDuZuid:
Waterfall city and waterfall country estate are 2 different development

Built next to each other.

Caml down

Do you wanna see progress of 5 year old waterfall city perhaps?

AfriqueDuZuid:
Same way you funded that's rail from Mombasa to Nairobi you can find it that way.

OH again for a loaners to be approved you need guarantees that the project will reap rewards.

Or maybe Kenya cannot guarantee that?

Which companies will be tenants at konza? I only know Korean research institution

Saddamochieng00:
What qualifies waterfall to be called a city? 2 high-rises?

What meaningful development is found there or is it just a cluster of hotels and low residential buildings?

Do me a favour

AfriqueDuZuid:
do you need pictures of 5 year old waterfall city buildings?

And you show your 9 year old Konza city buildings?



Come on you can start

rvp2018:
What is South Africa gov doing in Tech Sector to prepare your country for 21st Century - NOTHING. Now you're back to Shopping malls.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Which index again?

Come on let's see

rvp2018:
Compare waterfall with Two River city in Nairobi. Both are 300 acres kind of project by private sector - social or shopping cities.

Konza city is massive gov funded city - that will be at completion 90,000 acres. That is nearly 500 times more waterfalls.

You cannot compare the two - Konza Techno City - is only COMPARABLE maybe to one in Egypt - Smart City of Cario.

AfriqueDuZuid:
When I say tenants I'm not talking about mall stores I'm talking of companies, schools and so on.

South African education sector just piloted Coding and robotics as part of the school curriculum

Also entrepreneurship as one of school compulsory subjects

In terms of devices Covid was a blessing for the sector as it speed up the rate of the roll out, currently rural schools are being connected to free wifi.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Two rivers is smaller to fourways development

We have many similar projects developed around a mall, I know it's new to Kenya but that we've been having for years

Welcome to the game[s]

rvp2018:
Actually Waterfall is like Tatu city - it nothing compared to Konza city. You do not have anything like that planned - because your country is visionless - and the economy will be stuck in middle class rut forever.

AfriqueDuZuid:
So Kenya is constructing a 340 square kilometer city?

LOL but the official site says Konza will 8 square kilometers

Who's fooling who here?

rvp2018:
Waterfall is just like Tatu city, Two Rivers, Northland city, Vipingo city - those are private sector.
So outside education - your gov has no plan to create a technology focused city - like Silicon valley or Bangalore
And you are still excited about shopping malls.

rvp2018:
Kajiado, Makueni and Machakos counties have partnered with the national government through the Konza Technopolis Development Authority to set aside 73,000 acres for new urban development.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Show me Tatu city I wanna see something, don't leave me disappointed like I was with Konza

AfriqueDuZuid:
Vipingo is an estate by south African standards
North land city , let's wait after 5 years

LOL how about you post pictures of those places

Don't be shy

AfriqueDuZuid:
9 year old Konza vs 5 year old waterfall city

rvp2018:
Yes I am sure you have 10,000 acres of estate in South Africa. That size of Vipingo by Centum alone. There is the vipingo golf estate with airstrip that is complete...so combined both will be close to 15,000 acres.

rvp2018:
Yes, that 5,000 acres city - with industrial base - at it core.

AfriqueDuZuid:
Show me pictures of Vipingo please

I wanna see something
