The Africa Energy Indaba will return from 3–5 March 2026, bringing together policymakers, utilities, developers, financiers, and technology providers to deliberate on Africa’s evolving energy landscape. The event will be hosted at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC). Positioned as one of the continent’s most influential energy conferences, Africa Energy Indaba continues to serve as a strategic platform for...

As organisations adopt cloud platforms, remote work models and connected devices, their digital footprint continues to grow - and with it, their exposure to cyber risk. With every new application, endpoint and connection creating another potential entry point for attackers, organisations must understand their full environment to defend it effectively. This is the foundation of attack surface management (ASM), a...

As data centres evolve to support AI-intensive workloads, traditional maintenance models—built around fixed schedules or post-failure responses—are increasingly misaligned with operational reality. Addressing this shift, Vertiv has launched Vertiv™ Next Predict, an AI-powered, managed predictive maintenance service designed for modern data centres and emerging AI factories. The new service applies machine learning and field intelligence to continuously assess the real-time...

The Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) has energized the 132 kV Sondu (Thurdibouro)–Homa Bay (Ndhiwa) Transmission Line, marking a significant upgrade to the power transmission backbone serving South Nyanza. The newly commissioned line is expected to reduce technical losses, increase high-voltage transfer capacity, and improve system stability across Homa Bay, Ndhiwa, and adjacent counties. Critically, it introduces a shorter and...

As enterprise networks become more distributed—spanning branch offices, industrial sites, campuses, and cloud-connected endpoints—the ability to see and interpret traffic behavior in real time has become a core engineering requirement rather than a support function. NETSCOUT Systems, Inc. has introduced new observability capabilities aimed at two persistent technical weak points in modern networks: Limited visibility at remote and wireless sites,...

For many coastal and lakeside communities in Kenya, small-scale fishing is far more than an economic activity—it is a lifeline. From the Indian Ocean coastline to Lake Victoria, thousands of families depend on fishing for daily survival. Yet these same waters expose fishermen to serious risks, ranging from unsafe vessels and poor construction standards to weak enforcement of safety...

As Africa intensifies its push toward universal access to clean energy, Sierra Leone has taken a decisive step by opening its rural electrification agenda to the private sector. On January 26, 2026—marked globally as the International Day of Clean Energy—the Salone Off-Grid Renewable Energy Acceleration (SOGREA) Initiative officially launched a call inviting private developers to build and upgrade green...

On January 26 every year, the world observes the International Day of Clean Energy, established by the United Nations General Assembly to drive clean energy solutions that care for the planet and improve lives. The day reflects growing global awareness of energy’s role in mitigating climate change, rising inequality, and economic instability. While fossil fuels have powered industrial growth for...

The Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) has commended the U.S. Congress for passing the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Extension Act, a legislative measure that, if signed into law, will extend duty-free market access for eligible African exports to the United States through December 31, 2028. The extension would expand the number of eligible African countries from 21...

Water pumps are often overlooked in manufacturing plants, yet they play a critical role in cooling systems, boiler feed operations, wastewater handling, and chemical processing. When pumps operate reliably, production schedules remain stable. When they fail, the impact can ripple across an entire facility. The cost of pump failure extends well beyond replacement parts. Unplanned downtime can halt production lines,...
