POTRAZ opens the 2026 AI for Impact Challenge (AI4I), the implementation arm of Zimbabwe's National AI Strategy 2026–2030, offering selected teams up to US$80,000 in milestone-based grant funding. Government greenlights a US$3 billion light rail project for Harare, approved by ZIDA with National Project Status, and we look at the five-phase plan, its history, and how it compares to rail projects in Nigeria and Ethiopia. We also examine a Murmur Intelligence study, reported by Daily Maverick, which analysed nearly four million social media posts and argues South Africa's online anti-immigration narratives are driven by coordinated networks, a story that directly affects Zimbabweans as the 30 June deadline is reached.

After the break: WhatsApp introduces usernames, letting users chat without sharing a phone number, and we explain how to reserve yours. Meta announces Brain2Qwerty v2, non-invasive research that decodes typed sentences from brain signals without surgery. And Verve, the Nigerian card brand owned by Interswitch, expands across more than 13 African countries, raising the question of domestic alternatives to Visa and Mastercard.
