Africarare, Africa’s first metaverse has opened up to the world and is poised to unlock African creativity and connect Africa to the global digital economy. At a recent event in Johannesburg, plans were announced for commercialization of the 3D virtual reality experience, that is set in Ubuntuland, a virtual world that marries creativity, cryptocurrency, and commerce.
Firstly, virtual land is now available to purchase and develop either through private sales or public NFT marketplaces, with MTN, Africa’s largest multinational mobile telecommunications Africarare already having joined the space by securing a 12×12 village (144 plots of virtual real estate), on which to establish its visibility. Bernice Samuels, MTN Group Executive said “This is an exciting moment for us as we lead businesses on the continent to enter the metaverse marketplace.”

Additionally, the Austria-based World Data Lab (WDL) has acquired a 6×6 village in Ubuntuland on which they will develop their presence and connect to other leading organizations. WDL plans to use this collaboration to help improve quality of life for Africans and raise awareness of key-impact topics through virtual initiatives that include developing a Data Science Metaversity, opening a consumer insights hub and providing metaverse addressable market statistics and an analytics board.
