We find out more about the World Wide Web Foundation, the annual Web Index survey and how we rate on impact and utility in Africa.

  • Lastly, we're joined in studio by Philipp Hartmann and Theunis Hanekom to learn more about RedFish.co.za, an online platform connecting tradesmen and customers. A customer uploads a construction or home-improvement job that needs doing. Relevant and local tradesmen respond to the job request on the website by contacting the customer and quoting.
