0500 GMT - Africa's investment in foundational digital infrastructure pays off regardless of the AI outcome, according to the PwC Global Data Centre Outlook 2026-50 report.

South Africa leads the region with the most established data center base. Meanwhile, Kenya, Nigeria, and Ghana appear as promising emerging markets. Kenya is set to become one of the world's most sustainably powered data-center markets as its power grid is approximately 95% renewable, the report adds.
