A gripping true story of resilience, justice, and the fight for digital
sovereignty.
When civic-tech platform GovChat challenged the global giant Meta
(WhatsApp/Facebook), few believed a South African startup could take on
one of the most powerful corporations on earth. What followed was not
just a courtroom battle, but a struggle over democracy, public access
to services, and the future of digital innovation in Africa and beyond.
In The Silicon Empire vs Social Impact, Professor Eldrid Jordaan
GovChat’s founder and a leading global voice on digital transformation
takes readers inside this historic fight. From late-night legal
strategy sessions to tense tribunal hearings, he reveals the
high-stakes battle that tested not only his company but also the very
idea of whether Big Tech should control who gets to serve citizens.

Digital Justice worldwide.
