    It’s a bit of a mixed bag this week as your TalkCentral hosts Duncan McLeod and Craig Wilson chat about Pieter Uys’s resignation from Vodacom, the impending launch of Gauteng’s first dedicated community satellite television channel, Cell C’s new head office campus north of Sandton and texting and driving in Cape Town and how it could get your phone put into 24-hour lock-up.

    Also this week, we look at the latest news about banking apps from SA’s big four banks.

    Our app picks of the week are the Ster-Kinekor app for Samsung-based Android devices (Duncan) and Chrome for iOS (Craig).

    In this episode, we also name the winners of the Material DVD giveaway. The winners of the DVDs, autographed by the movie’s star, Riaad Moosa, are Babs Govender from Pretoria, Shelley Gurr from Amanzimtoti, David Majoka from Yeoville, Welton Melgas from Cape Town and Laurence Sligting from Johannesburg. You should receive your DVDs in the next few weeks, courtesy of Nu Metro.
