Ethiopians jailed in Malawi emphasise Gigaba's hypocrisy

It's been my privilege to know both the Alan Knott-Craig's well. Senior, the former telecoms engineer who started and built Vodacom into South Africa's leading cell phone network. And Junior, the 38 year old technology entrepreneur who is the subject of this fascinating special podcast. Our friendship began more than a decade back when the young chartered accountant Alan returned from a spell in New York. We played some golf together (a game he still obsesses about) and formed a fast friendship. Alan has picked up more business scars than someone twice his age, but despite being exposed to the worst of human arrogance and greed, he retains that critical character trait all entrepreneurs need - bouncebackability. And as you'll hear in this fascinating interview, he remains an optimist, especially about the land of his birth. He hates being called a serial entrepreneur, but after Cellfind, iBurst, World of Avatar, MixIt, Project Isizwe and now Hero Telecoms, the cap seems to fit. With a war chest of R80m after two rounds of funding, Alan is determined to redefine another sector of the developing New Economy. Here's his story. - Alec Hogg
