Desert FM July 16, 2025
In a move that could reshape the way international tech giants operate in Africa, Namibia has become one of the first African countries to be granted the green light to take global digital heavyweight Google to court.

To help us unpack this, we’re joined by digital and technology expert, Nrupesh Soni, a strategic thinker and well-known voice in Namibia’s tech development and innovation space.
