Cassava to deploy AI factory to South Africa

TECHNOLOGY firm, Cassava Technologies, says it will deploy an artificial intelligence (AI) factory powered by Nvidia in South Africa, marking a major step in expanding Africa’s AI infrastructure. 

The move comes barely a week after President Emmerson Mnangagwa launched Zimbabwe’s National Artificial Intelligence Strategy, which runs from 2026 to 2030. 

The strategy aims to develop locally driven AI systems that reflect Zimbabwean values, support indigenous languages and address national challenges.
