About IT News Africa

IT News Africa is the continent’s leading source for technology and business intelligence, covering AI, cybersecurity, fintech, enterprise IT, and the digital shifts reshaping Africa’s economy. Beyond our core editorial coverage, we also produce independent casino and sports betting guides for readers in the UK and Australia, applying the same research standards we bring to everything else on the site.

How IT News Africa began

What started as an enterprise IT publication covering southern Africa has grown into one of the continent’s most-read technology outlets. The editorial scope broadened steadily over more than a decade, adding regional coverage of East, West, and North Africa as the continent’s digital economy expanded and deepened.

Today the site covers more than a dozen subjects, from artificial intelligence and mobile telecoms to energy, retail, and healthcare. That breadth reflects Africa’s own digital story: technology threads through every sector at once, and covering it well means following it everywhere it goes.

What You’ll Find Here

IT News Africa covers a broad range of topics. Here is what you can expect to find across the site. 

• Tech and business news: Daily reporting across AI, cybersecurity, digital finance, enterprise IT, mobile and telecoms, healthcare, mining and energy, and retail technology. Every story is edited and contextualised before it goes live.
• Opinion and analysis: Pieces from practitioners inside Africa’s technology sector, alongside longer-form analysis on developments that deserve more than a news brief.
• Event coverage: Reports and insights from key industry conferences across the continent.
• Online casino reviews: Independent assessments of casino platforms available to players in the UK and Australia, covering licensing, payment options, bonuses, and withdrawal reliability.
• Sports betting guides: Honest, researched guides to betting platforms for UK and Australian readers, with no promotional filler and no undisclosed commercial influence on outcomes.

Meet Our Authors

Averie Walsh

Averie covers technology and business news across Africa, focusing on fintech, enterprise IT, and the digital developments reshaping the continent. Her reporting draws on direct industry sources and primary research, with a straightforward approach that cuts filler and gets to what professionals actually need to know.

Benjamin Williams

Benjamin leads casino and sports betting coverage for readers in the UK and Australia. He tests platforms directly, assessing licensing, withdrawal times, payment options, and bonus terms. Every claim in his reviews is backed by a specific finding, not material supplied by the operators themselves.

Why you can trust what we publish

Ten-plus years of African technology coverage underpins everything on this site. Journalists and specialists with direct, first-hand experience of the markets they cover make up the editorial team, and every factual claim is sourced and verified before publication.

The casino and betting section follows the same evidence-led standards. Reviews include findings from hands-on testing, with specific detail on withdrawal timings, bonus conditions, and operator licensing. Claims are tied to verifiable information, not to marketing language. Any advertising, sponsored content, or affiliate arrangement is clearly disclosed, so you always know what you are reading and why it is there.
