Drones have been used increasingly in Africa for survey and mapping, but will cargo drone delivery companies be the next big thing? Jane Wakefield visits Mwanza on the banks of Lake Victoria to speak to African and international companies hoping to cash in on the drone delivery market. During a trial for a big World Bank project called The Lake Victoria Challenge Jane speaks to the Tanzanian drone pilot making waves across the continent, to the global start ups innovating rapidly, and to one drone company helping to map Cholera outbreaks in Malawi. Jane hears from聽Helena Samsioe聽from Globhe,聽Edward Anderson from the World Bank,聽Frederick聽Mbuya from聽Uhurulabs,聽Leka Tingitana Tanzania Flying Labs and others.
