Google promises 300,000 jobs in South Africa

Google says its investment in data centre infrastructure in Johannesburg, part of a greater R18 billion investment in Africa, should help create 300,000 jobs and contribute R1.7 trillion to the South African economy by 2030.

The tech powerhouse added that South Africa also has the unique opportunity to rapidly develop its nascent artificial intelligence sector to become an AI leader on the African continent and the global stage, given its youth bulge and high unemployment rate.

Damn American companies. We should start a trade war.

Ja right. Money will be exchanged but before we see 300k new jobs from this pigs will fly.
