Dorsey is not the only tech bigwig who has visited Africa in recent times.
In 2016, Founder of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg was in Kenya. During that tour Zuckerberg visited the iHub, an Innovation hub and hacker space for the technology community in Nairobi.
He also met with local engineers to learn more on mobile money.
