Metropolitan has headed into a completely new direction for a South African financial services provider. The campaign breaks ground in several ways. It is shot in isiXhosa and colloquial Afrikaans (as shown in the second ad which will be revealed later this year).
It prescribes no resolution to the personal financial questions of life. It creates no dogmatic brand assertion, and it is purposefully subtle, rather than brazen.

Then later in the show we looked at the IT Leaders Africa Summit, South Africa’s most respected CIO event, which takes place on 15 and 16 March at Vodacom World in Johannesburg. We spoke to Shannon Mackrill, joint managing director, of event organisers, Kinetic.
The IT Leaders Africa Summit, now in its 7th year, is a meeting place for IT and business leaders across the IT industry. We looked at why this is the not-to-be-missed event for the industry.
