Nexus S0E3: Behind Takealot’s revenue surge

Loading player...
This is the third episode of a new podcast series curated by TechCentral’s editorial team and generated by artificial intelligence tools. It’s an experiment that’s in beta for now, but if it works well, we’ll consider making it a regular feature by launching a season 1.
Note that even using the most accurate and reliable sources, AI can and will occasionally make mistakes.
In this episode, we highlight some of the biggest technology news stories from South Africa and the world over the last week, as covered by TechCentral.
In this episode, we look at:
• Takealot Group’s strong top-line performance;
• The profit surge at Prosus and what’s driving it;
• The over-capacity crisis hitting China’s motoring industry;
• How Oracle, a dowdy database developer, got a new lease on life;
• Jaltech’s decision to back solar specialist Wetility; and
• The State IT Agency hits back at its critics in government;
Again, this podcast is experimental. We welcome your feedback. Would you like this podcast to become a regular feature? Is there anything you’d like us to improve? Is it too short or too long? Drop us a line at nexus@techcentral.co.za.
