As a South African, I am excited by the prospect of this. That said, I'm often frustrated by the signal-to-noise ratio that so often accompanies discussion about technology and entrepreneurship in Africa. Often, I hear substance-free palaver [1, 2] about how X can be done to solve some problem or alleviate some woe in Africa. As a result, I hope that this site will focus on real entrepreneurship - like M-pesa and the Silicon Cape, and less on enthusiastic but ultimately futile or non-actionable content.
