Episode 4 of SA’s business technology podcast, TalkCentral, is live. In this week’s show, your hosts Duncan McLeod and Candice Jones talk about the dramatic axing of communications department director-general Mamodupi Mohlala. We interviewed her this week about how the drama unfolded at the department.

We also review the other big stories of the week, including Wananchi’s plans to deploy fibre to the home in Kenya, the “I’m been unfairly maligned” speech by Telkom nonexecutive chairman Jeff Molobela, the impending collapse of pay-TV operator Super 5 Media, the launch of DStv Mobile’s streaming video service, and much more.

We also have two copies of Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 for Windows to give away, but you’ll need to listen to the show to get the details of how to win. Clue: you might find the answer to the question somewhere here.

As always, we’d welcome your input on what we’re doing right and what we need to improve, so please leave your comments in the space below.
