What if the real power in Africa’s startup ecosystem isn’t capital — but control of the narrative? In this episode, we dive deep into how stories are told, who gets to tell them, and what gets left out. Andile Masuku joins us to unpack the tension between media, community, and innovation — and why reclaiming the narrative is essential if we want an ecosystem that serves people, not just platforms. We explore: • Why African Tech Roundup chose depth over scale • How “community” became a buzzword — and how to reclaim its meaning • The media’s role in either amplifying hype or holding power to account • The uncomfortable but necessary work of building with integrity 💡 A must-listen for anyone serious about building African innovation with purpose and truth.
