    In this episode of TalkCentral, your hosts Duncan McLeod and Craig Wilson dive into the big technology stories of the past week. And the story that dominated the news this week, of course, was the sacking of communications minister Dina Pule.

    We look at the new minister, Yunus Carrim, and what he needs to prioritise. We also look at Telkom’s aggressive move to slash prepaid mobile tariffs and consider FNB’s new online banking website.

    Tune in to hear who makes the grade as winner and loser of the week.

    Duncan’s app picks this week are MyBeerCraft and MyBeer, both for Android and iOS, while Craig has picked IFTTT for iOS.

    Stream this week’s show:
