Refilwe Moloto speaks to Brett White, the CEO of Zapper, the independent mobile payments, insights, loyalty and rewards platform which makes extensive use of QR codes.

Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit

Tech Tuesday: How concerned should we be about QR code fraud?

Users of the popular toothpaste brand Aquafresh have noticed that the product is no longer what it was, with the white component no longer bright and vibrant but rather dull and translucent.

Weird and wonderful new Afrikaans words

New international research looking at teenagers across 43 countries suggests that problematic social media use is linked to poorer mental wellbeing and lower life satisfaction, with the impact felt most strongly among teens from disadvantaged backgrounds. The study points to widening concerns about how digital habits may be reinforcing existing inequalities rather than easing them. Kyle Janse, researcher at the Centre for Analytics and Behavioural Change, speaks to Lester Kiewit about what is driving these patterns and what it means for parents, schools and policymakers.
