South Africa-headquartered 4Sight Holdings is positioning itself as a key player in Africa’s AI economy, leveraging a “Cape to Cairo” strategy built around cloud, industrial technology and intelligent automation

Buoyed by strong FY26 results announced on Wednesday, 4Sight Holdings chief executive officer Tertius Zitzke outlined an ambitious vision to position the company at the centre of Africa’s enterprise AI adoption.

The Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed tech firm, which operates through more than 1000 channel partners across Africa, the Middle East and Europe, says demand for cloud, industrial automation and AI-powered business systems is accelerating beyond South Africa into East, West and North Africa.

Zitzke told TechCabal in an interview on Wednesday that Africa is no longer a future AI opportunity, but a present one, despite uneven regulation, internet access and fragmented infrastructure.

“Africa is the next tech growth engine. The continent’s young population presents an opportunity for AI adoption and innovation,” he said.
