  "It is important to present DRC and Angola in the way it should be presented."On Limitless Africa, we look at the ways in which Africans can fulfill their limitless potential. And we also look at how partnerships with allies like the United States can help that happen. That's why we're talking to Ziad Dalloul, the founder, president and CEO of AfriCell, the only U.S.-owned mobile network operator in Africa.AFRICEL's main hubs are Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the DRC, the Gambia, and Sierra Leone. They have four thousand full time staff and have been going for over a quarter of a century. They have almost 20 million users across those four countries and generate $400million in revenue. It's worth reminding you AFRICEL is also responsible for the documentary Lobito Bound. It’s about the train line that connects Angola's Atlantic port of Lobito to the mineral-rich regions of the DRC and Zambia.And that's the key word: connects... connectivity is Africell's business. And when Africans connect among themselves and with the world, they will be able to fulfill their limitless potential.Plus: How American and Chinese telecommunications businesses differ.🌟 IN THIS EPISODE:00:00 — Africa + America: a new growth story00:24 — The only U.S.-owned mobile network in Africa02:13 — “Africa needs me”04:32 — Taking on telecom giants07:30 — The real risk of doing business in Africa10:27 — Why mobile money is still just getting started13:06 — Crypto, Binance and Africa’s digital future21:53 — The markets investors keep missing💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:“People should start paying closer attention to the extraordinary potential of markets like Angola, DRC, Sierra Leone and Gambia.”“We wanted to have something different — a more human touch, a more boutique kind of approach.”“It’s hard to predict exactly what innovations will come, but Africans always give things a local twist.”“There are a lot of opportunities in these countries — the growth and the dynamism are all there.”🌍 ABOUT LIMITLESS AFRICAThe podcast that asks how Africans and Americans can work together for shared prosperityEvery Monday: 15-minute episodes that dive into an issue that matters to AfricansEvery Thursday: extended interview with someone unlocking Africa's limitless potential➕ WANT MORE?How the Lobito Corridor could open up connectivity in central Africa https://trueafrica.co/article/podcast/the-railway-opening-up-mining-opportunity-in-africa/"How do you merge technology with human potential?" - the tech platform helping independent retailers https://trueafrica.co/article/podcast/how-do-you-merge-technology-with-human-potential/“African AI solutions are not being talked about” - Alex Tsado, the AI architect https://trueafrica.co/article/podcast/african-homegrown-ai-solutions-are-not-being-talked-about/💗 LOVE LIMITLESS AFRICA?Subscribe on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcastsLeave a 5⭐ review – it helps get the word outShare with someone passionate about innovation in Africa🚀 FOLLOW LIMITLESS AFRICAInstagram: @_trueafricaWebsite: https://trueafrica.co/Substack: https://limitlessafrica.substack.com/🤝 FRIENDS OF LIMITLESS AFRICALimitless Africa is sponsored by the US Department of State and the Seenfire Foundation.

• Andela - "Brilliance is evenly distributed. Opportunity is not." 12.03.2026 28min

  "Talent is global but opportunity sadly isn't."This week on the Limitless Africa podcast, we look at something young Africans care about: work! How work is changing, how you can get hired, how you can upskill, and what kind of work is out there - in fact these days more and more jobs can be done remotely, parrticularly in tech. For us, for young Africans, this shift matters. It allows talent from Lagos to Nairobi and Johannesburg (that’s me!) to work for companies based in California or New York or wherever really without leaving home. Andela is an American company doing just that - it’s a talent marketplace that trains and connects technologists from the continent and other emerging markets with leading companies around the world. It means American tech companies are getting high quality tech talent and Africans are sharing in the prosperity of Silicon Valley. We speak to Koffi Kelvin, who trained with Andela, and Nicola Lyons, the company’s talent lead.Plus: How Koffi helped his family🌟 IN THIS EPISODE:1:28 The Andela mission6:20 Why character matters more than skills10:14 The importance of AI skills14:15 Working remote17:59 Are Africans cheap labour?23:03 How to stand apart💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:"I'm able to be present in the lives of the people who matter to me""Price isn't really what Andela competes on with our global North American clients.

• How American tech platforms are changing the future of work in Africa 09.03.2026 15min

  "I was able to take my younger brother through university"Young Africans care about work because work is now the clearest route to mobility. In this episode of Limitless Africa, Claude Grunitzky explores how American tech platforms are transforming opportunity across the continent through remote work, AI upskilling, and online networking.Nicola Lyons explains how Andela evolved from a Lagos founded fellowship into an AI native data and services company supporting global enterprises. Koffi Kelvin, an engineer trained through Andela, describes how remote work makes it possible to contribute to companies like GitHub from Nairobi while earning above local market rates. Preston Ideh argues that Africa must not become only a consumer of AI tools and should move earlier in the value chain by building talent and products.

• Ella Peinovich - "How do you merge technology with human potential?" 05.03.2026 27min

  "We ultimately are trying to level the playing field for independent brands to be able to sell into big major retailers."On this episode of Limitless Africa, we’re looking at how African businesses can sell to US customers. If you’re a homeware brand in Togo, or a clean beauty maker in South Africa or a jewelry manufacturer in Kenya, how can you get your product to American customers, those consumers shopping on Target, Etsy or Bloomingdale's? And it’s not a one-way street: those American retailers are also looking to stock amazing African homeware, accessories, lotions and potions - they are crying out for high quality products that are unique, and will delight their customers.That’s where amazing entrepreneurs like Ella Pienovich come in. She’s the co-founder behind PoweredByPeople, a multi-channel distribution platform that connects independent brands to over 100 million customers across more than 200 leading online retailers & marketplaces. Ella is opening up huge new markets, and offering digital innovation to African entrepreneurs.Plus: How clean beauty is the next trend.🌟 IN THIS EPISODE:1:35 Her first business4:13 Tech-powered humans5:52 The power of drop shipping11:51 Building a business in Kenya15:19 How to raise $20m18:49 Transparency and compliance22:55 The trends in retail25:52 The power of thinking big💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:"Transparency is part of the conversation, but the real shift I'm seeing is around compliance.""That's my own little secret ambition is to replace mass produced product in the retail market."🌍 ABOUT LIMITLESS AFRICAThe podcast that asks how Africans and Americans can work together for shared prosperityEvery Monday: 15-minute episodes that dive into an issue that matters to AfricansEvery Thursday: extended interview with someone unlocking Africa's limitless potential➕ WANT MORE?Why an African luxury shoe brand is headquartered in the U.S. https://trueafrica.co/article/podcast/why-an-african-luxury-shoe-brand-is-headquartered-in-the-u-s/How hip hop can build empires https://trueafrica.co/article/podcast/how-hip-hop-can-build-a-business-empire/💗 LOVE LIMITLESS AFRICA?Subscribe on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcastsLeave a 5⭐ review – it helps get the word outShare with someone passionate about creativity in Africa🚀 FOLLOW LIMITLESS AFRICAInstagram: @_trueafricaWebsite: https://trueafrica.co/Substack: https://limitlessafrica.substack.com/🤝 FRIENDS OF LIMITLESS AFRICALimitless Africa is sponsored by the US Department of State and the Seenfire Foundation.

• Why an African luxury shoe brand is headquartered in the U.S. 02.03.2026 15min

  "I became extremely fascinated with Mansa Musa's story."Why would an African-founded luxury brand choose to build its headquarters in the United States?In this episode of Limitless Africa, host Claude Grunitzky speaks with Armando Cabral, founder of Armando Cabral Footwear, who was born in Guinea-Bissau and now runs his brand from New York. Cabral explains how his African heritage shapes his design philosophy, why he describes himself as a “cultural design activist,” and how the pandemic pushed him to research West African history more deeply, including the Mali Empire and Mansa Musa.Cabral also breaks down the practical business logic behind locating in the U.S. market: access to entrepreneurial energy, stronger retail networks, and an ecosystem that responds to ambition with enthusiasm rather than skepticism. He shares what it took to land major American retail partnerships, including Bloomingdale’s, and how collaborations with brands like Allen Edmonds validated the global appetite for authentic African storytelling paired with uncompromising quality.Finally, the episode confronts a hard question: why not manufacture in Africa today? Cabral offers an unglamorous but important answer about infrastructure, expertise, and the realities of scaling craft at luxury standards, while still articulating a long-term vision of expanding retail presence across the African continent.Plus: Three tips for entrepreneurs🌟 IN THIS EPISODE:1:12 From model to cultural design activist2:36 Why Mansa Musa inspired a fashion label4:49 Expansion in Africa5:42 U.S. H.Q7:30 The African consumer9:19 Manfacturing in Africa10:52 Getting Bloomingdale's💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:"In order to know where you're going, you need to know where you come from.""African heritage is very unique.""It's going to be tough, but eventually you will succeed.

• Ambassador Tamlyn - "It's a youth boom that the world has never seen" 26.02.2026 22min

  "One thing that I really was not as aware of as perhaps I should have been, was the deep and abiding Congolese sense of having a long term relationship with the United States."Ambassador Tamlyn has spent much of her career working across Africa, from Sudan and the Central African Republic to Mozambique, Chad, and now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The DRC has Africa’s fourth-largest population at around 112 million.  Yet it remains one of its poorest countries and that's despite being the world’s biggest producer of cobalt. Vast mineral wealth has in part fuelled a two-decade-long conflict in the east, one the United States has been trying to end. Could this be a breakthrough for a new foreign policy approach known as 'commercial diplomacy'?

• The railway opening up mining opportunity in Africa 23.02.2026 15min

  "If we stop mining, we stop our way of life."The Lobito Corridor is more than just a railway; it is a strategic lifeline connecting the Atlantic port of Lobito in Angola to the mineral rich Copperbelt in the DRC and Zambia. In this episode, host Claude Grunitzky sits down with explorer and presenter Dwayne Fields and Sam Williams, Head of Communications at Africell, to discuss the revival of this historic infrastructure. We explore why the U.S. government is mobilizing private capital to secure access to critical minerals like copper and rare earths, which are essential for the global economy. From Dwayne’s personal genetic journey back to his ancestral roots in the Copperbelt to Africell’s mission to digitize the corridor, this episode examines the intersection of high stakes geopolitics and the human stories of the communities on the ground. Can large scale mining truly benefit ordinary Africans? We look at the risks of exploitation and environmental damage versus the potential for jobs, connectivity, and local prosperity.Plus: why a telecommunications company is making a documentary🌟 IN THIS EPISODE:2:19 How to be an explorer3:33 Why Africa matters for rare earths3:57 The Lobito Corridor7:01 How it affects the little person11:33 How communities benefit12:33 How a telecommunications company got involved💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:"In truth, I benefit from mining.""We're all touched by what happens right there in Africa."🌍 ABOUT LIMITLESS AFRICAThe podcast that asks how Africans and Americans can work together for shared prosperityEvery Monday: 15 minute episodes that dive into an issue that matters to AfricansEvery Thursday: extended interviews with people unlocking Africa’s limitless potential➕ WANT MORE?The next generation of mines bringing value to Africa https://trueafrica.co/article/limitless/the-next-generation-of-mines-bringing-value-to-africa/“Africa has an opportunity to rise as an industrial superpower.” https://trueafrica.co/article/podcast/africa-has-an-opportunity-over-the-next-generation-to-rise-as-an-industrial-superpower/💗 LOVE LIMITLESS AFRICA?Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcastsLeave a 5⭐ review.

• The next generation of mines bringing value to Africa 09.02.2026 14min

  “Processing on the continent: you can do that in Africa.”Africa holds some of the world’s most important mineral resources, from cobalt and lithium to platinum and rare earths. Yet for decades, these materials have largely been extracted on the continent, processed elsewhere, and sold back to the global market at far greater value. In this episode of Limitless Africa, hosts Dimpho Lekgeu and Claude Grunitzky examine whether a new model of mining could change that equation. They speak with Ben Kincaid, former US diplomat and CEO of ReElement Africa, and Derrick Roper, co founder of Novare Holdings, one of the company’s main financial backers.Plus: Why African investors are backing American technology🌟 IN THIS EPISODE:1:40 Who benefits from Africa’s mineral wealth?3:20 Rethinking mining, refining, and environmental responsibility6:56 Why African capital is backing American technology8:22 Mzwaa and his tune Caught Up10:32 Can processing minerals at home change Africa’s future?13:04 Can mining contribute to peace and stability?💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:“No security, no investment, no economic development.”“What if the value stayed on the continent?”“The real opportunity is building the entire value chain at home.”🌍 ABOUT LIMITLESS AFRICAThe podcast that asks how Africans and Americans can work together for shared prosperityEvery Monday: 15 minute episodes that dive into an issue that matters to AfricansEvery Thursday: extended interviews with people unlocking Africa’s limitless potential➕ WANT MORE?How Africa is basketball’s next big business movehttps://trueafrica.co/article/podcast/why-nba-africa-means-business/How crypto is making sending money cheaper in Africahttps://trueafrica.co/article/podcast/how-crypto-is-making-sending-money-cheaper-in-africa/Why video gaming is booming across the continenthttps://trueafrica.co/article/podcast/olivier-madiba-video-gaming-africa/💗 LOVE LIMITLESS AFRICA?Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcastsLeave a 5⭐ review.

  "We're going to hire tons of engineers in Rwanda who are Rwandan to build this technology shoulder to shoulder with our American engineers."American foreign policy is experiencing a profound shift. It’s now about trade not aid. But we’ve been waiting to understand what that means in practice. That's why an announcement by the US Department of State last November was so significant. The U.S. committed up to $150 million dollars to a partnership with Zipline. Zipline is an American company that designs, manufactures, and operates delivery drones. Yes, drones. And it's one of the first real examples of the America First global health strategy in action. So that's why we're excited to speak with Caitlin Burton. Caitlin is the CEO of Zipline Africa.

  "They were tired of losing women in childbirth."Last year, one of the US’s top diplomats said that Africa is the world’s largest untapped market… and Africa should be among the US’s largest trading partners. This time, it’s not just about aid. It’s about business. And we were wondering what that might mean in practice. In November last year, the US Department of State made an important announcement: the U.S. committed up to $150 million dollars to a partnership with Zipline. Zipline designs, manufactures, and operates delivery drones. These currently fly in Cote d’Ivoire, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Ghana. And they're saving lives.

• Why Francophone markets are the next investment hotspot 19.01.2026 14min

  "What is this country with good roads and electricity and water?"Francophone Africa is home to some of the continent’s fastest-growing economies, yet it continues to receive a disproportionately small share of global venture capital and startup investment.In this episode of Limitless Africa, hosts Dimpho Lekgeu and Claude Grunitzky speak with Lina Kacyem, Investment Manager at Launch Africa Ventures, about why Francophone African markets remain overlooked by American investors and what is being missed as a result.Drawing on her experience spending nearly two decades in the United States before relocating to Abidjan, Casim explains how historical legacies of colonization, legal systems, language, and business culture continue to shape investor behaviour. She contrasts Anglophone and Francophone market dynamics, from regulatory frameworks and communication styles to diaspora networks and trust-building practices.The conversation also explores infrastructure development in countries such as Côte d’Ivoire, the role of face-to-face relationships in Francophone business environments, and why the CFA franc’s peg to the euro offers a degree of currency stability often misunderstood by foreign investors. As global funds search for new growth opportunities, this episode argues that Francophone Africa represents one of the most compelling and underexplored frontiers on the continent.Plus: The appeal of the American mindset🌟 IN THIS EPISODE:3:00 Differences between the Francophones and Anglophones6:09 The times they are a-changin?8:42 Fat B - SI JE TE DIS que je t'aime9:46 Why should Americans invest in Africa?💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER:"If you align with the right people, there are a lot of opportunities for gains.
