Naspers has agreed to invest R100-million in South African agriculture-technology start-up Aerobotics, which uses artificial intelligence and drone and satellite imagery to help farmers manage crop health and predict crop yields.
South Africa’s largest technology and media group, Naspers, has announced it will provide R1.5-billion in emergency aid to the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic in the country.
A little more than 100 years ago, Naspers was created by white South Africans to produce a Dutch-language newspaper. Now the continent’s biggest company, Naspers just named its first woman, and first black person, as CEO.
Naspers has appointed Phuthi Mahanyele-Dabengwa as CEO of its South Africa business. It’s a newly created executive position, and Mahanyele-Dabengwa will report directly to CEO Bob van Dijk.
