Yesterday at the campus bank branch, a Kenyan student ahead of me was waving his phone at the clerk because his Alipay got restricted the same morning that article popped up in our Hafrik group about new payment rules for foreigners. I stood there clutching my passport, suddenly too scared to update my own app. Is this normal? I only just managed to link my Botswana card to WeChat Pay this week — tiny victory — and now I am terrified to press any button in case I trigger some invisible limit. Ke a leboga to the Algerian brother who dropped a photo guide in the chat showing exactly which menu to tap. We are out here building our own survival manual because the tech news changes faster than the English settings page. 😅
