On September 7th, 2021 the president of Zambia twitted: But for any country to be part of the progress and technological innovation happening around the world, it must pay attention to developments in high-tech; both the consumer internet software tech such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Google, WeChat, and the electronics hardware tech producing chips to embed in smart devices: iPhones, Teslas, drones and for 5G roll-out—Zambia is not doing that.
