Africa as in India. It is the second-biggest telecom company in the continent after South Africa's MTN. Fourteen years ago, Bharti Airtel chairman Sunil Mittal took the brave decision to go to Africa and it has been a perilous journey for his company. Africa, where Mittal had expected to map India's telecom growth story onto the continent, turned out to be little like India with its sparse population as well as political volatility which would discourage any pioneer telecom company. Now that Airtel Africa seems to be out of the woods, and having acquired an elephantine footprint in 14 countries across the continent, a big challenge might be shaping up. Mukesh Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries (RIL), who disrupted India's telecom market with low tariffs and cheap handsets by launching Reliance Jio in 2015 and swept aside Airtel to become the market leader, is acquiring a tiny foothold in the African telecom market as a telecom tech and equipment vendor.

South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs has refiled significant changes to its work-permit regime, allowing the creation of a "nomad visa" for remote workers. The changes, gazetted on May 20, became law after a previous withdrawal due to procedural lapses in public commentary periods. The new visa aims to attract remote workers employed and paid by foreign companies, provided they earn at least 1 million rand (approximately $55,404) annually. This visa also includes a short-term tax exemption. This move, recommended by the office of the president, addresses criticism from major foreign-owned employers struggling to get technicians and executives into the country due to South Africa's complex permit system. The system's delays, exacerbated by a lack of local skilled workers, have left companies in a bind, with some applicants waiting over a year for a work permit.
