Abstract

The role of digital technology in promoting sustainable development and economic growth in Africa has remained a mystery in Africa. Africa is endowed with numerous raw materials and natural resources that should enhance sustainable development in Africa. However, because of coloniality within science and technology, Africa has not benefitted from its indigenous knowledge and technology, and Africa's contributions to the wave of digital technology has not yet been understood nor recognized. The current literature presents that Africa is still behind in technology and science and yet technological innovation started in Africa.
