But over the past few of months It's become very clear that there is giant gap somewhere, the question is how do we bridge this gap? Does this mean Africa countries have learn twice as fast to bridge this gap? Or will we constantly be lagging in what we have missed out on? My opinion might not be a solution but something to ponder. What's been clearly apparent in the local market is that there has been a definite lack of pressure from smaller companies on the major players with regard to competition. There's a sense of complacency that these companies have settled into that products and services developed should only be limited to a small portion of the local markets. The pressure will only tell once the realization that the market is bigger and not limited has been acknowledged. This will take a major paradigm shift, but it all starts somewhere....
