In Today's Show: South Africa has quietly become a data economy - with smartphones now doing the work banks and classrooms once did, and Telkom’s real business no longer airtime but gigabytes. The Proteas head into a Super Eights showdown in India, where 130,000 home fans will test whether this side is truly different. The Reserve Bank wants to scrap the word “prime,” but not your repayments. In other news: universities are battling AI cheating, retailers are testing self-checkout, and R50 billion is flowing into data centres.
