If you are, or know, a great developer who wants to contribute to media freedom in Africa, please take a look at this opportunity to be the new CTO of HiviSasa.

Media is very controlled in most of sub-Saharan Africa, and the internet offers a chance for people with different voices to come together and get heard. However, there is a massive content gap. Hivisasa aims to provide a place for African audiences to create, discover and share content. The company is driven by a mission to elevate local and national debates by informing readers, providing a rewarding discussion platform, and decentralising the flow of information.

Feel free to share widely!

Best regards,
