I'm pretty sure the OP post these pics to negate the perception that Africa is rural, safarian like nature all around lacking technology and innovation. When people here Africa they immediately associated wildlife, tribes, ongoing conflicts, disease, etc... I lived in Kenya with a friend for 3 years and also in Johannesburg, South Africa. I have to say that Johannesburg is some place I hope to move back to after college. One of the Leaders in BI software is Alchemex from Durban, South Africa.
