I laugh every time South African politicians speak about the 4th Industrial Revolution.

We don’t even have proper 3G coverage nationwide but we’re jumping to 5G.

We only have 3 electric vehicles in SA(Nissan Leaf, BMW i3, Jaguar i-Pace). Tesla doesn’t export here
Lol our deputy president couldn’t answer on what the first 3 industrial revolutions were.

Now imagine him having to talk about The Internet Of Things, Zero latency, Blockchain, Machine Learning etc.
There’s so many issues we must first deal with before we even start having a conversation about the 4IR.

Eskom still coal(which gets wet😱) to supply electricity. Our carbon footprint is massive, 1 of the highest in the world.

We must just leave this 4IR talk and fix our issues
