Any information of a personal nature expressed in this email are purely mine and do not necessarily reflect the official positions of the organizations that I work with. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Intl.SOS and Control Risks Security Alert <alerts(a)intlsos-cr.com> Date: Thu, Jun 22, 2017 at 3:26 PM Subject: Notice: South Africa - Johannesburg, Pretoria: Taxi strike planned for 22 June suspended; continue to monitor developments To: ALI(a)hussein.me.ke South Africa: Johannesburg, Pretoria: Taxi strike planned for 22 June suspended; continue to monitor developments *OVERVIEW* *Level:* *Notice* *Location:* *Gauteng * - South Africa *Category:* Strike, Civil unrest *Last Updated: 22 Jun 2017 12:14 (GMT)* Local sources on 22 June reported that a strike by metered taxi operators in Pretoria and Johannesburg (both Gauteng province) planned for the day would not proceed; members should continue to monitor developments due to the potential for further related action. The strike, organised to protest operations by the app-based ride share service Uber, was suspended after the local authorities denied permission for it to go ahead. Major roads, including those leading to OR Tambo International Airport (JNB), are currently clear, though members should reconfirm the status of routes prior to setting out as a precaution. *ADVICE* - Monitor developments due to the potential for further related strike or protest action. - Reconfirm existing transport arrangements and the status of routes, including to/from OR Tambo International Airport, before setting out. Maintain flexible itineraries and allow plenty of time to complete journeys. - Expect a heightened police presence on major routes between Pretoria and Johannesburg; follow all directives issued by them. - Exercise heightened caution when using app-based ride share services due to the potential for targeted violence. Travellers should ensure that there is no existing taxi rank in the vicinity of their pick-up location and keep a low profile when getting into the vehicle. - Liaise with local contacts and monitor our alerts on South Africa for related updates. *MORE DETAIL* Tension between licensed taxi drivers and Uber operators have risen in recent weeks as the latter have been accused of unfair competition. This has resulted in regular scuffles and protests, as well as localised incidents of violence including the torching of an Uber vehicle on 21 June in the Sunnyside area <http://mailgun.internationalsos.com/c/eJxVjrtuhDAQRb8GdyC_wEPhwoYQIe1WKOl5D…> of Pretoria. Despite calls for a peaceful settlement by the Police Minister, further disturbances can be expected in the near term. *ASSISTANCE* [image: Assistance] *+1 215 942 8226* *Philadelphia, USA* *+33 155 633 155* *Paris, France* *+44 208 762 8008* *London, UK* *+65 6338 7800* *Singapore* *+971 4601 8777* *Dubai, UAE* Call our medical and travel security specialists any time for advice and assistance before, during or after your trip.

Dear Listers, For those interested in artificial Intelligence, sign up. Best ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michael Oghia <mike.oghia(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2017 10:38:06 +0200 Subject: [Internet Policy] Opportunity: AI & governance To: ISOC Policy <internetpolicy(a)elists.isoc.org> Cc: ai(a)centreforpublicimpact.org Hi everyone, I wanted to share this announcement. Please share with anyone you think would be interested: The Centre for Public Impact <https://www.centreforpublicimpact.org> is investigating the way in which artificial intelligence will change outcomes for citizens. We are interested in how the emerging tools can reshape the way in which governments reach existing decisions as well how it can reshape government itself. *Work so far:* We think AI will reshape government in two ways. Firstly, it will change the speed, reliability and quality of existing government outcomes. Secondly, it will allow us to rethink the way in which government itself is structured. As the landscape rapidly changes around it, government needs to think about these issues now or it risks missing out on the significant benefits this technology offers. There are, of course, significant risks for governments to mitigate when implementing these tools. How will the quality of the outcomes be verified? How can we be sure that the data used to fuel the outcomes is valid? How can the government ensure the security of the tools and their underlying datasets? And what can we do to control these tools? *Get involved* If you are working in government and interested in how AI applies to your practice, please get in touch with us at: ai(a)centreforpublicimpact.org. Alternatively, if you are an AI practitioner who thinks your tools can have an application in government, please get in contact.

The National Treasury has been thrust into a vicious war with the administrator of its electronics payments platform eCitizen, which now threatens to stall services offered through the World Bank-backed online portal. Goldrock Capital Limited, which runs e-Citizen’s mobile money payment account, has sued the National Treasury for denying it access to the platform’s M-Pesa paybill number that receives billions of shillings from individuals seeking government services through the online portal. http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/news/Company-sues-Treasury-over-eCitizen… Best regards Githaiga, Grace Co-Convenor Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet) Twitter:@ggithaiga Tel: 254722701495 Skype: gracegithaiga Alternate email: ggithaiga(a)hotmail.com Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gracegithaiga www.kictanet.or.ke "Change only happens when ordinary people get involved, get engaged and come together to demand it.
