Across South Africa, many citizens already experience seamless, data-driven services. They often encounter these services in the private sector. In these environments, organisations use data to create more connected and responsive interactions. As a result, data shapes how organisations deliver and improve services over time.

Supply chains across the continent face mounting pressure. Geopolitical shifts and economic volatility drive this pressure. Many logistics operators have turned to technology for answers. This shift supports building a competitive logistics ecosystem. This focus also reinforces building a competitive logistics across regional networks.

Our latest SA Satellite Comms Report 2026 provides an in-depth analysis. The report shows the extent to which satellites transform enterprise, consumer, government and wholesale markets. It also positions the satellite market and industry as a central driver of digital infrastructure change.

The future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption lies in disciplined execution, governance and responsible implementation rather than unchecked experimentation. As enterprises accelerate the adoption of AI and agentic systems, conversations around data protection are becoming more urgent. However, organisations should avoid treating AI as an entirely new governance problem.

The World Economic Forum predicts that nearly 40% of on-the-job skills will change by 2030. The capabilities gaining ground are not just technical. Creative thinking, resilience and analytical thinking are also rising alongside Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data. In addition, the tasks least likely to be automated require human judgment, the ability to sit with complexity and the capacity to understand people well enough to solve the right problem.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) discussions in South African boards generally default to carbon, community impact and governance process. While those remain essential, they do not tell the full story of organisational sustainability. A business may define sustainability narrowly. However, it still fails if it cannot protect data and recover quickly from cyber disruption in a digital economy.

When discussing the AI-driven workplace, many people focus on powerful processors, intelligent software and the transformative potential of large language models. However, one critical component often goes unnoticed: the monitor. Far from serving as a mere peripheral, modern displays are evolving into essential productivity hubs. As a result, they enable employees to fully harness the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The fines scam. The South African Revenue Service (SARS) refund. The parcel that needs clearing. If you have a South African cellphone number, you have likely encountered all three. Fraud has become part of the background noise of digital life. Consequently, most people have developed a reflexive response: delete, ignore and move on. However, a more difficult question now confronts banks, fintechs and payment platforms.

We have released a new report outlining ransomware trends that shaped 2025. The report also provides insights into how the ransomware threat landscape may evolve.

The Asia-Pacific region followed at 7.89%, while Africa stood at 7.62%. In addition, the Middle East recorded 7.27%, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) reached 5.91%, and Europe reported 3.82%.

The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) role has moved decisively beyond compliance. In a volatile, data-driven economy, finance leaders must now shape strategy, guide decisions and help businesses respond to disruption in real time. The shift is clear. CFOs no longer only report numbers. Instead, they interpret them and explain what could happen next.
