Go ya ka dipatlisiso, bontsi jwa dipuo tsa semmuso tsa Aforikaborwa kwa ntle ga Seesemane le Seaforikanse, di santse di saletse kwa morago thata fa go tliwa mo tirisong ya didiriswa tsa thekenoloji fa go dirwa dipatlisiso. Go le gantsi, dipuo tsa tlholego tsa Aforika Borwa ga di a bopega go tshwana le dipuo tse di setseng di bone tlhabologo jaaka Seesemane le tse dingwe.

Mafapha a puso, baitseanape ba tsa thekenoloji ga mmogo le babatlisisi ba ba dirang ka dipuo tse tsa tlholego, ba tshwanetse go dirisana mmogo go tlhama ditheo tse dingwe tsa mofuta o, go oketsa palo ya didiriswa tse di ka dirisetswang go dira dipatlisiso tsa dipuo tsa tlholego tsa Aforikaborwa.
