The Angolan Thetha was held at the Centro de apoio aos Jovens (CAJ), in Luanda from 31 January to 1 Febrauary 2007. SANGONET held this event in partnership with Development Workshop - Angola.

In particular, the forum highlighted current initiatives that seek to turn Angola into an information society.
