The main reason why smart cities are difficult in Africa is that we don't have proper data, the little data some big cities have here is not correct and most of it is manipulated which makes collect of data not important. African governments believe working toward smart cities exposed their corruption not knowing it give them power.

I believe there needs to be a healthy balance. Reliable data is important but it does need to be 100% complete. It needs to be sufficient to be useful and help make decisions. Data also needs to be collected in a way that protects people's privacy. Smart cities are sounding more surveillance cities.
