    On TalkCentral this week, Duncan McLeod and Regardt van der Berg talk about government’s umpteenth flip-flop on encryption in digital TV and what it says about the state of South Africa’s government.

    Also this week, Windows to play nicely with iOS and Android (and why it’s a great move by Microsoft), Telkom’s share price on a tear, and our first views of the Samsung Galaxy S8.

    Regardt’s pick this week is Enlight for iOS, while Duncan has chosen Opera for desktop.

    Tune into the podcast to find out who’s been named winner and loser of the week.
