Podcasts about Andile

Episode overview: In this conversation, Fatu Ogwuche shares insights into her transition from working at Meta and consulting for Nigeria's Electoral Commission to launching her own media platform, Big Tech This Week. She discusses her entrepreneurial spirit, creative approach to storytelling, and the unique position independent creators hold in today's media landscape. Andile Masuku describes Ogwuche as "low-key the industry's head of intelligence" - a title earned through her knack for asking the right questions, journalistic research methods, and ability to get people comfortable enough to share meaningful insights about the African tech ecosystem. Key topics: - Transitioning from corporate roles to independent media ownership - The power of personality-driven content creation - Building authentic connections with interview subjects - Research as a foundation for compelling storytelling - The growth and evolution of Africa's tech media landscape - The balance between reporting ecosystem challenges and celebrating wins Notable points: 1. Ogwuche started Big Tech This Week as a hobby while working at Meta during the pandemic, seeking creative expression outside her corporate role 2. Her experience representing Nigeria's Electoral Commission on television at age 24-25 shaped her understanding of effective communication 3. The African tech and media ecosystems are both relatively young—many major startups and publications are only 10-16 years old 4. Independent creators are increasingly collaborating across borders to tell stories in fresh, compelling ways 5. Thorough research and genuine curiosity are central to Fatu's interview approach, allowing for deeper conversations with tech leaders Projects mentioned: - The Crossover Show 2024 - Ogwuche's year-end review featuring conversations with ecosystem leaders about significant trends and looking ahead to 2024 | Link: https://youtu.be/s31x58-EnJU?si=dvGqM9PDDnHFkSJP - "If Weekend Go Sweet" - A collaborative op-ed between Ogwuche and Masuku examining African tech's 2024 "Wednesday signals" | Link: https://www.africantechroundup.com/op-ed-if-weekend-go-sweet-fatu-ogwuches-reading-of-african-techs-2024-wednesday-signs-2/ - Backstories with Fatu - Ogwuche's interview series featuring tech entrepreneurs who don't typically do many interviews | Link: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFFlwhyjoaXiZl0M34txzp8ACjqAQt8wC&si=v3XWNApO8Hik1rWo Fatu approaches her work with an authenticity that makes interview subjects comfortable sharing insights they might not reveal elsewhere. As both she and Andile note, what sets her apart is her combination of strategic intelligence, legal background, natural curiosity, and creative spark—along with a commitment to presenting information in ways that engage and inform. As the African tech ecosystem continues to develop alongside its media landscape, voices like Fatu's provide not just reporting but vital context and nuance, helping audiences understand both challenges and opportunities in a balanced way.

It seems the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party's left-hand doesn't know what its right hand is doing. That much was evident when one party spokesperson told News24 that convicted fraudster Schabir Shaik was a member of the party, and another shot down claims of Shaik's affiliation with it. Shaik's appearance alongside former president Jacob Zuma at a fundraising event for Gaza on Saturday sparked speculation that he supports the party Zuma is aiming to lead. But, asked on Tuesday whether Shaik had joined the MK Party, spokesperson Nhlamulo Ndlela said, "No [Schabir] Shaik did not join MK Party, and neither was the event about the MK Party. The event was about reflecting on the atrocities that are taking place in Palestine." However, in response to the same question, another party spokesperson, Sidwell Masilela, said, "He is. He had MK banners in the event and recruit[ed] more of the Indian community." Shaik, who was found to have a corrupt relationship with Zuma, was jailed but was later released on medical parole. The confusion over his relationship with the MK Party comes after Black First Land First leader Andile Mngxitama and National People's Ambassadors (NPA) leader Nathi Mthethwa said they had joined the MK Party. On Tuesday evening, Mngxitama posted a picture of himself and Zuma on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, with the caption: "It's done! BLF vote #MK full statement to follow." The statement wasn't released. But Mngxitama told News24: "BLF is not ceasing to exist. What we agreed upon with president Zuma is an electoral pact where BLF votes for MK. Naturally, BLF shall join MK. It's a dual membership process." Meanwhile, Mthethwa told News24: "Yes, I have joined to campaign with MK, since the NPA (a small party based in KwaZulu-Natal) is not going to take part in the national elections." Asked about Mngxitama and Mthethwa, Masilela said: "Andile and Nathi... nothing confirmed yet." Ndlela said: "[Former] president Jacob Zuma has been, and continues, to engage in discussions with progressive parties with the aim of forming a united front. There are no other political party leaders that have joined MK Party." He said the party would announce the consolidated membership at its launch next month. While Zuma continues to criss-cross the country to campaign for the MK Party, the ANC has chosen to not give any attention to the actions of its former president. On Saturday at Mbombela Stadium, where the ANC held its 112th anniversary celebration, party chairperson Gwede Mantashe told News24 the ANC was not preoccupied with what other people were doing and was focused on its own programmes. However, giving a message of support at the celebrations, SACP general-secretary Solly Mapaila asked the party to deal with the Zuma matter and not "dilly-dally" around it. When greeting those in attendance, including the uMkhonto weSizwe Military Veterans, party president Cyril Ramaphosa appeared to take a dig at the MK Party when he said: "This is the real MK." On Saturday, Zuma will lead the MK Party's campaign in Limpopo.

It's been just over 20 years since Andile Ngcaba quit his government job – he was director-general of communications – and became an investor in the technology sector. Now, in an interview with Duncan McLeod on the TechCentral Show (TCS), Ngcaba looks back at the past two decades, the formation of Convergence Partners, the investments the business has made and why, and its focus areas. Ngcaba, who splits his time between Africa and Silicon Valley – where he has a home – unpacks the recent announcement that Convergence Partners Investments is rebranding as Solcon Capital and has appointed a new CEO, Pramod Venkatesh, and why its focus has been broadened beyond Africa to both developing and developed markets. “Under this new brand, Solcon will focus on international deep tech investments in generative AI and large language models, synthetic data and big data, cybersecurity, and quantum computing across South Africa, India and Southeast Asia, leveraging scale through platform economics,” Solcon said in a statement last week. Also in this TCS interview, Ngcaba talks about: • What he has learnt from his time in Silicon Valley, and why it's not easy to replicate the Valley model in other parts of the model. “It's more a state of mind,” Ngcaba tells TechCentral. • What he set out to achieve when he started Convergence Partners. • The highlights of the investments the company has made over the years. • What excites him the technology space today, and why. The original Convergence Partners pitch presentation to investor Nedbank, which Ngcaba talks about in the opening minutes of the interview, is available to download on TechCentral's website.

Luxury to me is always grounded in heritage and provenance. My guest on this episode evokes exactly both those qualities. Andile Dyalvane is one of South Africa's foremost ceramic artists. Guided by a deep spiritual connection to his Xhosa ancestors, Andile's complex, large-scale ceramic artworks are a metaphorical vessel through which he seeks to honour his cultural traditions and share his journey of healing. His medium of clay or “umhlaba” (mother earth) is, at its most fundamental, a life-affirming connection to the soil. But by providing a medium for storytelling, it is also an essential energetic link to his past, present and future.

[08:34]2) In light of what is happening in his native Italy, what does Iginio view as key learning points for South Africa, where he is currently based? [18:45]3) How should 'expert' projections shape Africa's political and economic response to Covid-19? [22:36]4) Landry unpacks insights from his new book, Unlocking Africa’s Business Potential: Trends, opportunities, risks and strategies. [42:11]5) Why would anybody consider Africa's population growth trajectory as anything but a good thing? [43:52]6) How might Africa position to become more competitive in the global economy? [45:30]7) Is Landry as bullish on Africa’s potential now as he was before the COVID-19 pandemic hit? [49:10]8) Why might Africans do well to be cautiously optimistic about the continent's recovery prospects? [51:00]9) What does Landry see as Africa's top unique selling propositions?
