Onafriq is a South African fintech that enables cross-border payments across Africa. It has a collaboration with MTN, a mobile-network operator, allowing users to make instant cross-border payments using mobile money. Its boss, Daré Okoudjou, has expressed scepticism about a new regional payments-settlement system that was supposed to ease pan-African transactions, saying slow and patchy implementation means it could amount "to nothing".
"It would seem that you have no useful skill or talent whatsoever," he said. "Have you thought of going into teaching?"
