<p>On this episode of "After Hours, in partnership with Tanqueray Africa," we speak with Mbula Nzuki, founder and managing partner of MN Legal, and convener of the MNL Africa Leadership Circle, about what it actually takes to build a law firm from scratch, do business across a fragmented continent, and create the kind of rooms where Africa's story gets written by Africans.Seven years ago, she built MN Legal around the things traditional law firms weren't offering: agility, tech-enablement, short turnaround times, and the freedom to operate across locations.That work, advising startups and businesses looking to scale across Africa, kept surfacing the same friction. Different legal systems, different regulations, wildly different costs ,sometimes the gap between a few hundred dollars and tens of thousands, just to set up in a new market. That frustration became the seed for the MNL Africa Leadership Circle.The Circle isn't a conference. It's a curated convening of senior business leaders, policymakers, investors, founders, and innovators built around one goal: real, documented outcomes. Every working group feeds into a white paper, because Mbula believes it's unforgivable to gather that much brilliance in one room and let it evaporate. The policy suggestions, the cross-continental conversations, the hard insights , all on record, so Africa's narrative gets shaped from the inside out.The conversation also gets into the legal questions that keep her sharp: AI, deepfakes, blockchain , not approached with fear, but with the urgency of someone who knows the law is always playing catch-up and that the gap can't stay open for long.Her read on Africa right now? The continent is awake. Young founders are building, populations are holding leaders accountable, and the ask has shifted from aid to equal partnership. Africa is the now and the future, and the people shaping it are already in the room.The MNL Africa Leadership Circle takes place on the 18th and 19th of June at Villa Rosa Kempinski, Nairobi.

<p>In a world where digital platforms are becoming the gateway to services, opportunities, and economic participation, businesses need to know exactly who they're dealing with.</p><p>But when verification systems are too slow, too complex, or simply not built for African realities, real people get locked out and real businesses lose customers.</p><p>Alice heads to the Africa Tech Summit 2026 to gain first-hand insight into how companies are rethinking digital identity and trust for African markets, where documentation is inconsistent, device quality varies, and the stakes of getting verification wrong , in either direction, are high.</p><p>She speaks with Deji Amund, Strategic Partnerships Lead at MetaMap, and Agnes Anyango, Sales Executive at Kagoo, two companies working at the intersection of identity verification and AI-powered business intelligence.</p><p>MetaMap is helping businesses verify users faster and smarter, building flexible flows that reduce friction for legitimate users while keeping bad actors out. </p><p>Kagoo is leveraging AI to help businesses understand their customers more deeply, from financial health reporting to demand forecasting, so they can make better decisions and grow with confidence.</p><p>Together, they make the case that the real infrastructure challenge in Africa's digital economy isn't just about building products , it's about building systems that understand the people using them, in the real conditions they live in.</p><p><br>__________________________________________________________________Join Alice as she explores the world of tech and shares impactful stories with guests on My Tech Story Africa!Subscribe to our podcast, drop a like, comment, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with our latest content.Don't forget to spread the word!
