Africa has more than 120<br />
million active mobile money<br />
accounts, which account for<br />
more than 50 per cent of the<br />
global total and mobile traffic<br />
data is expected to increase<br />
hugely in the coming years.<br />
The continent has already<br />
developed a diversified<br />
manufacturing base and<br />
has shown its resilience and<br />
potential to compete in the<br />
global economy.<br />
Tourism is an extremely<br />
profitable industry and is<br />
now the second fastestgrowing<br />
tourist industry in<br />
the world, only behind the<br />
Asia Pacific region. Indeed,<br />
the tourism industry in South<br />
Africa alone employs more<br />
people than the automotive<br />
manufacturing, mining,<br />
chemical manufacturing, and<br />
communications services<br />
sectors and is expected to keep<br />
growing.<br />
