It was an absolute pleasure showcasing some the topics andcontent of the free online programme on Digital and Media Policy in Africa offered by Stellenbosch Department of Journalism and the Namibia Media Trust. Alongside Koliwe Majama, Zoé Titus, and Guy Berger we touched the tip of a constantly evolving debates on Digital Regulation and Democracy in Africa. We discussed what informed digital regulation in the continent twenty years ago and tracked its path to the current characteristics of the digital society, where online polarization, unclear content moderation practices (e.g. political micro-targeting), shrinking civic space and press freedom in some countries, rising surveillance practices and self-censorship, concerns on data governance and privacy and much more have come to shape it - particularly during periods of elections.
