Chiedza Kehle and Chenai Chair study the lived realities of immigrants in Gauteng, South Africa, who send money home through remittance platforms. Using a feminist, intersectional lens, they assess three platforms, Mukuru, Mama Money and HelloPaisa, on the value they offer users and on their data governance. Their paper, Data for Financial Inclusion?, was published on My Data Rights Africa in August 2026, together with an educational game based on the traditional children’s game Nhodo.
