She also a keen writer on technical issues in her blog, bitsofcode.

This edition is the last in a series where notable Africans were invited to take the editor's chair for Focus on Africa. The guest editors over the festive period have been South Sudanese musician and former child soldier, Emmanual Jal, Beninese multi-award winning singer-songwriter Angelique Kidjo, and South Africa's first female Public Protector, Professor Thuli Madonsela.
