    Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg are back for another slice of technology news and analysis. In this week’s show: how Samsung in South Africa dealt with the Galaxy Note7 crisis.

    Also this week, Vodafone’s CEO, Vittorio Colao, is in town, and LG’s new G6 smartphone makes its South African debut.

    Duncan’s pick this week is Physics Toolbox Suite for Android and iOS, while Regardt has chosen Beer Tracker Plus for Garmin sports watches.

    The drone footage below of Friday’s march in Durban, and discussed in the podcast, was posted by Anthony George Kirkwood on Facebook:

    Listen to the podcast to find out who Duncan and Regardt have picked as winner and loser of the week.
