When you read about the tech innovation coming out of the Southern Africa country of Zimbabwe, you would rightfully assume it is ripe for a technological revolution. However, the situation on the ground is that of brilliant minds with innovative ideas, but are cash-strapped to launch or expand their product. That has been the case for Vote Africa.
Vote Africa is a mobile app developed by Norman Dube, a software developer who came up with the app back in 2016. But in that year, Zimbabwe experienced another bout of severe cash crisis; which was primarily attributed to the bad governance by the then Robert Mugabe-led government.
Now, that Mugabe was ousted by a friend turned foe, and the country held its first election without him (Mugabe) on the ballot paper. Dube felt it right to launch the Vote Africa app. It was a such an opportune time to launch the app, as it was very much needed.
