TECHNIKARI with King Kandoro: Zimbabwe's economy is a Mshikashika
May 28, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 94.7 MBEpisode Notes The recent policy measures that were put in place by the government left many scratching their heads as to what is going on in Zimbabwe. The most confusing one of them all was the banning of credit which was overturned, but not as loudly as loans were banned. To get stuck into the immediate and future effects of new policies (those that remain), we were joined on this episode of Technikari by a peerless economic mind, a man who needs no introduction, the one and only King Kand...

Mike Madoda & Barry Manandi: Football before social media in Zim & the state of the PSL
May 16, 2022 12:21 - 52 minutes - 96.2 MBEpisode Notes On this episode of Technikari, I was joined by one of the best sportscasting duos out there, Barry Manandi and Mike Madoda. I am sure all of you have heard their voices over the radio or seen them on TV and I had the pleasure of picking their brains about what football was as a young fan before the advent of social media. It was a different world back then and they shared their experiences from those days that I can only imagine were in black and white. "Dynamos would play Hi...
A brand is not a logo, it's a story SO TELL IT!!!
April 03, 2022 09:30 - 1 hour - 89.6 MBEpisode Notes I was joined by Sherman Baloyi who is the Creative Director at OnaDsgn, a local brand strategy firm to go over why international companies spend thousands to even millions of dollars on their brand/branding or unique identity. The conversation covers how logos have become more than just "we do this" to an embodiment of the greater ideal or goal an organisation strives for. The easiest example that comes to mind is how cleverly the Amazon logo was designed to show that they wil...
This local entrepreneur wants you to make money selling domains & web hosting
March 28, 2022 05:29 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MBEpisode Notes On this episode of Technikari, I was joined by Privilege Nyauta, the founder and CEO of a local web hosting service called PnrHost which has a subsidiary called Resellme, a platform that allows anyone to sell domains and web hosting to businesses and individuals. The latter is the more interesting product, in my opinion, because it fits with the digital migration we have seen over the last couple of pandemic hit years. Everyone wants to go online and set up a store, or a vir...

March 15, 2022 01:18 - 1 hour - 77.4 MBEpisode Notes On this episode of Technikari, we were joined by Dream VC cofounder Mark Kleyner. We talked about venture capital, angel investing and all things funding. Mark and Dream VC are not your typical VC outfit. Unlike those you know, their focus is on Africa, just like Transsion. Mark shares his view on the good, the bad and the ugly of the venture capital industry in Africa. For example, you have heard that in the last decade, over 75% of the African startups that received funding...

March 02, 2022 20:19 - 48 minutes - 92.3 MBEpisode Notes On this episode of Technikari, we were joined by @Magamba TV co-founder Comrade Fatso to talk about the Private Voluntary Organization (PVO) Bill that seeks to regulate Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Zimbabwe. Magamba has been one of the few content companies that have come to strongly oppose the PVO bill and for good reason because the organisation is an NGO or as they are calling them these days Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). We explored: What the PVO Bill...
Zimbos put the fear of God into NetOne over the ridiculous data prices
February 28, 2022 06:56 - 48 minutes - 94.6 MBEpisode Notes Last week NetOne announced a price adjustment for its OneFi packages that would have seen 80GB going for ZWL$99,000 which was US$800 at the auction rate. After a day-long public outcry, the state-owned mobile network operator saw the light and reduced the prices to a more realistic range. It was one of the rare instances where social media pressure, forced a state-run company to recant and put things right. TECHZIM'S MARKET APP HAS BEEN ZERO-RATED, NOW YOU DON'T NEED DATA ...

Wondering why your business' branding isn't working? Listen to this...
February 17, 2022 11:27 - 1 hour - 64.6 MBEpisode Notes Brand identity/branding has long since been a cornerstone of any company or collective. If your potential customer can't distinguish you from a competitor or make you out at all, then sustainability is going to be difficult. This not only speaks to your logo or commercials but also of your internal branding as well as your products and services. To get a picture of what it takes to stand out as a brand or company I was joined by John and Elizabeth Murinye who are the founders ...

January 14, 2022 15:15 - 39 minutes - 9.82 MBEpisode Notes Zimbabwean inventor Maxwell Chikumbutso has reportedly created a radio-frequency powered television.

December 21, 2021 17:05 - 1 hour - 16.3 MBEpisode Notes The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) recently released its sector performance report for Q3 2021 and yet again data is king in the country with usage continuing on the up because of the pandemic. However in saying that, the quality of data has been iffy for a very long time because there are more of us who are using base stations that might be at capacity. We talked about the state of data in Zimbabwe and how the government can make it ea...
Second-hand cars: ridiculous prices, preserving value, govt negligence & more
December 17, 2021 16:24 - 1 hour - 21.8 MBEpisode Notes Buying a second-hand car in Zimbabwe is a game of Russian roulette because good looking cars are sometimes on their last legs and the bad ones... well...

Zim's e-passports: does the govt have enough material for the tsunami that is to come?
December 14, 2021 18:58 - 39 minutes - 9.58 MBEpisode Notes The e-passport rollout is so confusing. When should we start applying for them? What about those who got regular passports recently? Why should we have to pay at CBZ and then at the Passport office? Is this another one of those things that is only being done because we are getting into election season? If the government was struggling with conventional passports do we have the materials and suppliers to meet the tsunami applications for these new and complicated e-passports? ...
Potholes, Honda Fit drivers, service fees & all the headaches of owning a car in Zim
December 07, 2021 09:26 - 1 hour - 17.3 MBEpisode Notes Owning a car in Zim is a bit of an extreme sport. There are no easy breaks because importing one can be a nightmare and getting one locally comes at a ridiculous premium. After getting your car you'll have to contend with the cost of that first service. This can be a pleasurable experience if the previous owner met all the service intervals or a money pit if they treated the car like a disposable asset. Once on the road, you'll have to contend with mushikashikas and Honda Fit...

Mama Money: the social impact money transfer service
November 10, 2021 04:43 - 45 minutes - 11.2 MBEpisode Notes Remittances or money transfers are big business these days, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. There were projections in early 2020 that forecasted a dip in remittances but the opposite was the case as saw last year Zimbabweans in the diaspora sent back US$1 billion which was a record sum. 2021 looks to be picking up where 2020 left off because according to the Mid Term Monetary Policy Statement remittances or money transfers to Zimbabwe were up 73% from the figure rec...

No mortgages, issues with rentals & other strange dynamics of the property market in Zimbabwe
October 15, 2021 14:29 - 39 minutes - 22.6 MBEpisode Notes Shelter or accommodation is one of those things that bring about anxiety. This could be in an existing property or if you are looking at moving to a new one. We have spoken at length about the local financial system, highlighting the quirks and deficiencies that are presently plaguing Zimbabweans. However, it's often easy to forget that the property market, be it residential or commercial, gets caught up in the ripples emanating from Zimbabwe's economic situation. To know abou...
Here's why local money transfer firm Shumba Money slashed transaction fees
October 06, 2021 10:15 - 38 minutes - 9.44 MBEpisode Notes Earlier this year Shumba Money, a local remittance or money transfer startup, announced that it would be slashing fees for transactions to Zimbabwe. This wasn't something out of the ordinary because we had seen something similar from Senditoo last year. However, Shumba Money is a relatively young player in the game and we were curious about why/how they were able to do this. To answer this question and to get to know more about the business, we spoke to Shumba Money's founder...

This local e-learning startup is aiming to replace brick & mortar schools
September 14, 2021 11:45 - 49 minutes - 12.3 MBEpisode Notes Last week we reported on EduXpert, a local e-learning startup that offers lessons for pre-primary all the way to trade schools and tertiary education. The platform does this by offering anyone with the skills and qualifications an avenue to monetise their knowledge and experience. On the students' side of things, they get to pick and rate the teachers on the platform. This means that tutors who have more effective teaching styles (for a given course) will rise to the top. In ...
It's probably expensive because it's actually good value
September 09, 2021 16:03 - 47 minutes - 11.2 MBEpisode Notes Sometimes the price of a product, service or experience is high because it's taken a lot of time to develop and perfect. This, of course, doesn't mean that there aren't a few crafty flea market vendors out there who'll rip you off. It's a mess but we tried to make sense of it through our experiences. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

From cassettes to WhatsApp MP3s: How music distribution has evolved in Zimbabwe
July 08, 2021 08:46 - 1 hour - 15.5 MBEpisode Notes Who remembers the days when you had to use a pen or pencil to rewind a cassette tape? They seem like a lifetime ago, and for good reason. The production and distribution of music in Zimbabwe (and the world over) has been liberalized to the point that anyone with a laptop can be a producer and artists. The shift has also seen the downfall of the power that record labels like Gramma Records and radio stations held over artists. In most cases, local radio stations are sourcing t...
Bitcoin price fluctuations and how Zim is being lapped in the crypto adoption race
June 30, 2021 08:38 - 19 MBEpisode Notes Bitcoin and altcoin price fluctuation is a complex topic to get to the bottom of. There are a number of factors that influence their price.

Why aren't Ex-Jap car owners charged half price for radio licences?
June 29, 2021 09:15 - 21 minutes - 5.37 MBEpisode Notes If you own a second-hand car imported from Japan (ex-Jap) then you know that you can't access certain radio frequencies in Zimbabwe. At best you can get two maybe three (depending on where you are) because the FM frequency in Japan is between 76 - 95 MHz. This led us down a rabbit hole of what decisions like the adoption of vehicles and other goods could have on the local ecosystem. We figured that the issue with ex-Jap cars has affected the listenership of certain radio stat...
Meet Dawa Health the startup fighting to reduce maternal mortality
June 28, 2021 11:01 - 9.77 MBEpisode Notes Late last week the Telecel Group and Startupbootcamp Afritech announced the finalists for its Africa wide accelerator.

June 24, 2021 09:35 - 28 minutes - 7.32 MBEpisode Notes The Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (ZUPCO) has reemerged from its long slumber. The last time ZUPCO had a presence anywhere near to what it has today was back in the late 90s early 2000s. And even though it is still working at a fraction of its capacity, the company still moves tens of thousands of people a day. Its slow rise has also been accompanied by innovations, a little while ago ZUPCO in conjunction with NMB and CBZ launched the tap card which was meant to ease the n...
Deposit incentives but no protection for USD, the mess that is Zim's monetary policy
June 23, 2021 12:59 - 10.6 MBEpisode Notes Yesterday we reported on the lack of coverage for USD deposits by the Deposit Protection Corporation _(DPC)_. And a lot of people weren't too surprised that this provision was not set by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) and Ministry of Finance. While this gap exists in the banking sector, the Reserve Bank announced interest rates for savings deposits including USD. Yeah... if you were to tell anyone who isn't familiar with Zimbabwe that this is the way we exist they wouldn't...

Meme Itel all you want but it's doing extremely well in Africa
June 18, 2021 18:52 - 56 minutes - 13.7 MBEpisode Notes Itel has been the butt of many jokes for the longest time in Zimbabwe. Most of them have been all in good fun but others are a little malicious. It's good to remember that Transsion, the company that owns Itel, Tecno and Infinix, commands 37% of the smartphone market in Africa according to Counterpoint's research. The lion's share of that is Tecno with 18%, which places it in first place on the continent ahead of Samsung. Itel is in third place with 12% and Transsion's last pr...
