Darkies in Tech

Darkies in Tech, a registered non-profit organization, has unveiled a new website designed to serve as a centralized platform for professionals of color (POC) in South Africa's technology sector. This initiative aims to address the persistent lack of diversity and inclusion in the country's tech ecosystem. The platform offers a range of resources and opportunities, including job listings, mentorship programs, and educational content. It seeks to connect POC tech professionals with potential employers, mentors, and peers, fostering a more inclusive and diverse tech community in South Africa. Ntsako Mgiba, founder of Darkies in Tech, emphasized the platform's role in bridging the gap between talented POC professionals and opportunities in the tech industry. The organization's efforts align with broader initiatives to increase representation and create more equitable access to the growing South African tech sector. #TechInclusion #SouthAfricanTech #DiversityInTech #TechEquity #AfricanInnovation
