TRANSFORMING THE COUNTRY
Digitisation is making an affirmative change at the Parliament of the Republic of South Africa and this is subsequently catalysing change for the country at large . Digital disruption is shaking up traditional business models in South Africa and in doing so it is creating opportunities for tech entrepreneurs and startups across the country . “ Parliament needs to be digital and interactive ,” explains Mtya . “ Therefore , the use of technology – whether that ’ s making sure that there are effective tools for members and staff of parliament , or that mobile applications are enriched with userfriendly parliamentary information , or improving recording and production , for instance – is helping us contribute to our digital and interactive parliament .” “ I think it goes without saying that digitalisation is also creating new opportunities for the country and continues to do so , especially for startups and tech entrepreneurs ,” she adds . “ It ’ s been a game-changer . It ’ s helping people launch new startups anytime , anywhere . It also provides opportunities for people to solve their own problems that they understand best rather than waiting for a company somewhere else in the world to solve it . Digitisation is affecting every industry . It ’ s giving companies a competitive edge . If an organisation doesn ’ t appreciate the power of technology and digitalisation , they will be left behind .”
