Africa Tech Kin with Danny that Guy: Zimbabwe Crypto Law, PSL Digital Ticketing, UK Social Media Ban & Claude Fable

Loading player...
This week on The Africa Tech Kin, Danny that Guy breaks down Zimbabwe's first dedicated cryptocurrency law, Statutory Instrument 99 of 2026. The episode explains what the law requires of virtual asset service providers, how registration and compliance will work, the distinction between businesses and individual crypto holders, and how Zimbabwe's approach compares to crypto regulation across Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda and South Africa.
The show also covers Zimbabwe's digitisation of more than 8,000 archaeological site records through the MAEASaM programme, and the Premier Soccer League's move to electronic ticketing ahead of the Highlanders versus Dynamos match at Barbourfields, including the debate over how the rollout has been handled.
In international tech news, Danny looks at the United Kingdom's announced ban on social media for under-16s and what it could mean for African countries, the US government directive that forced Anthropic to disable its Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models worldwide, and the SpaceX IPO that made Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire.
