The Trump-led American government maintains its chokehold on Huawei, campaigning for other European markets to slam the door on the Chinese tech firm's 5G offerings.

Huawei is responsible for Africa's first commercial fifth-generation connection, which started Rain in South Africa, and on to Lesotho. Ericsson, its biggest rival has also gained foothold in the continent, building MTN South Africa and Telma Madagascar's versions of the connectivity.
