We introduce a new segment called: How they started...where I feature entrepreneurs and their businesses and explore the WHY behind their journey.It's like discovering the reason why your favourite song was written, how many times they were rejected by radio stations before it became a hit. Entrepreneurs also have layered stories on how their brand came into being, some stories are inspiring, some are just well pragmatic. - like it just makes sense that was the next step to take. I feature the hardworking, super smart founder of the online tech publication: Recharged. Nafisa Akabor, tech and EV car journalist - shares how this idea came about after her retrenchment from the Mail and Gaurdian. While most people would be stuck feeling a sense of rejection. Nafisa saw it as redirection. In some ways it was almost instinctive that the next step for her would be to not only start her own publication, but to also monetize it. Nafisa is also a Car Awards judge, where she is honored for her opinion and insights on the EV Category.Support the show

Simon Shares Somebody buying Metrofile (JSE code: MFL). Started late on Tuesday, sending it almost 13% on the day and holding Wednesday. Mediclinic (JSE code: MEI) paid £432m for 29.9% of Spire Healthcare (LSE code: SPI) in 2015. They're now supporting a buyout from a third party valuing that stake at £287.8m. Healthcare stocks earnings remain under pressure as elective surgery remains limited. Afrimat (JSE code: AFT) to acquire R650m manganese mining rights. Gold above US$1,900 and even with Rand strength (currently 13.85) we're finally seeing gold in ZAR moving a little higher. No change to the repo rate at last weeks MPC meeting. All the excitement was that the next move will be up, but we knew that. Of more interest is that the govoner talks bout 4.5% rather than the 3%-6% range. He always has but it seems MPC will based rate decisions on that 4.5%. * I hold ungeared positions. Upcoming events; 27 May ~ JSE Power Hour: Manage your money like a rock star! 01 June ~ ThinkMarkets: Key points to investing 24 June ~ JSE Power Hour: Rand ~ stronger for longer Sygnia iTrix 4th Industrial Revolution ETF Cache This: Smartphones on a budget ~ Nafisa Akabor SAB Zenzele Kabili Listing on the BEE board of the JSE on 28 May. No IPO process ahead of that. R40 listing price. But trades subject to supply / demand. I would expect it to boom initially then settle around R40. No lock-in period, so you can buy / sell as you wish. This is very much a long-term investment. Will be ownership of global AB Inbev (JSE code: ANH) shares worth R5.4billion. AB Inbev market cap is around R1.8trillion. So a small slice of the entire group of less than 1%. Important, you are not just getting SAB, it is the entire global group. There is debt included, geared about 55% at 70% of prime payable over ten years. Another reason to view it as long-term. 75% of dividends will be used to settle the debt. This is a long-term investment option and NOT a get rich quick scheme. We have also seen some BEE schemes fail spectacularly. Not all stockbrokers are enabling trading in the shares. SAB have a trading desk, call them on 0861 900 903. Only BEE qualifying investors can buy the shares.

TechCentral — In this episode of the Cars & Gadgets podcast, Duncan McLeod speaks to Nafisa Akabor about Samsung's new Galaxy S10+ smartphone, one of the most important releases for the Korean consumer electronics giant in years. It's important because the company is getting a serious run for its money from Chinese manufacturers, particularly Huawei, but also Xiaomi and Oppo. Has the S10 line-up done enough to keep the Chinese rivals at bay? And is it enough of a step change to justify the upgrade? In the podcast, Nafisa unpacks the new features in the S10+ and talks about its camera system (including the front-facing hole-punch design). She also looks at the phone's battery life, in-screen fingerprint reader and wireless charging capabilities.

TechCentral — In the latest episode of Cars & Gadgets, Duncan McLeod speaks to Nafisa Akabor about the new Mate 20 Pro from Huawei. Is this the best smartphone of 2018? Nafisa has just returned from London, where she attended the global launch of the latest and greatest from the fast-growing China's consumer electronics giant, where the centrepiece was undoubtedly the new Mate 20 Pro, which goes on sale in South Africa on 1 November. Huawei, which is building on the momentum of the very well received P20 Pro, is eyeing Samsung's crown as the world's biggest smartphone maker. And the Mate 20 Pro could help get it there. A major update to last year's Mate 10 Pro, the new model features an in-screen fingerprint reader, facial unlocking and excellent battery life. Nafisa and Duncan unpack the best the Mate 20 Pro has to offer, talk about that triple-camera setup on the phone's rear and debate whether Huawei has done enough to take the smartphone crown in 2018.

In the second episode of Cars & Gadgets, Duncan McLeod speaks to Nafisa Akabor about the new iPhone Xs from Apple. The Xs is one of three iPhone models Apple is introducing in 2018 -- the others being the supersized Xs Max and the "cheaper" Xr. In the podcast, Nafisa unpacks the key differences between the three models, whether iPhone X users should consider upgrading (short answer: absolutely not) and why, in a highly unusual move, Apple decided to discontinue last year's model. Duncan and Nafisa unpack Apple's new A12 Bionic chip and why the seven nanometer manufacturing process used is so important. They also chat about the Xs's camera system and what it can do that last year's model can't. Perhaps most importantly, they discuss the battery life of the latest model and discuss what's new in iOS 12. Also, they ask: is Apple pricing itself out of the market with the new models?

In this episode of Cars & Gadgets, Nafisa Akabor and Duncan McLeod test-drive the new BMW i8 Coupé - while they record the podcast. While inching forward in Midrand traffic, they talk about where the R2.1-million car is positioned in the market, how it performs and the practicality of owning one in South Africa. They then head to the Kyalami race track, before testing the i8's sheer muscle on a quiet back road. The plug-in sports hybrid is now available in a Roadster for the first time (list price: R2.4-million), alongside a facelifted Coupé version. The Coupé is a refresh of the original and features increased battery capacity for the electric motor -- up dramatically from 20Ah to 34Ah. This takes the pure electric range from a claimed 30km to 55km on the Coupé (it's 53km on the Roadster). The output of the Coupé's electric motor is 105kW, and combined with the 1.5l turbo-petrol engine's 170kW, delivers a satisfying 275kW of power. This allows you to go from 0-100km/h in a blistering 4.4s on the Coupé, and 4.6s on the Roadster - with a top speed of 250km/h (electronically governed). Listen to McLeod's child-like excitement as he tests the acceleration claims. The full review is available on TechCentral.co.za.
