guy, u re funny. From the onset, I knew ur motive was to mock "black" Nigerians.

Back to the topic. Kudos to south Africa. This SA power minister threw up a party upon his appointment. Merely watching the party, I thought he would fail because I was imagining that he is celebrating as one who won a jackpot or a ticket to loot SA treasury. But now, I am thrilled by his performance. Kudos

Many African politicians' behavior really makes me pessimistic about their possible outcome. It is good to have high performers up there
Those wishing SA and black South Africans ill are the ones who will feel mocked. Thanks for the rest of your message.

PhonesMTN Plans To Launch A Bank - PICTURES by RandDigital(op): 7:12am On Dec 24, 2024
MTN plans to acquire a banking licence once the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) opens up its national payments system to fintechs and other non-banking entities, Business Times reports.

South Africa’s second-biggest mobile network operator already supports limited transactional banking services through its MTN Mobile Money (MoMo) service.

MoMo offers payments and money transfers to individuals and businesses. Customers use their phone numbers instead of bank account numbers to identify digital wallets holding their money.

MoMo’s primary target customers are small or informal businesses like spaza shops and the low-income mass consumer market, both of which still rely heavily on cash.

As it stands, MTN or any other fintech which wants to offer these types of services without a banking licence must work through a licenced bank as a sponsor. For MoMo, MTN uses African Bank.

However, this past week, TechCentral reported that the SARB was working to enable non-banking entities like fintechs to gain direct access to the core clearing and settlements system.

SARB National Payments System department head Tim Masela said although banks were the backbone of the financial system in terms of savings and accounts, non-banks were offering convenient transactional services.

“We believe that we should move with the times and open up the system for the entry of non-banks,” Masela said.

MTN South Africa chief fintech officer Kagiso Mothibi confirmed to Business Times that fintechs will be given an opportunity to participate in the banking system following an ongoing review of the payments system.

“When that is rolled out, we’ll definitely be looking to pursue our own licence,” Mothibi said.

The SARB is currently developing frameworks to authorise fintechs and other non-banking entities to access the national payment system directly.

MoMo is one of several fintechs that participated in the SARB’s working groups to develop the regulatory framework that will enable greater direct participation in core banking services.

The frameworks are necessary to balance innovation with the risks associated with a more flexible and open financial system.

Mothibi said that bypassing a traditional banking partner would allow MTN to exercise much more control over the future of its banking services.

MTN has ambitious plans to make its MoMo service a true low-cost alternative to traditional banking accounts.

The service has expanded to 11 million registered users, of which roughly three million are active users.

Helping drive this adoption is MTN introducing several significant enhancements to MoMo in the past two years.

In September 2023, it launched a business wallet and international remittances.

In February 2024, MTN announced an agreement with Mastercard that gave all MoMo wallet holders a virtual and physical card that they could use to make payments in numerous countries.


That came after the world’s second-largest payments network provider took up a minority stake in MTN Group Fintech, worth up to $200 million (R3.8 billion at the time).

These enhancements have helped boost MTN’s fintech service revenue, which increased 59.1% year-on-year in the first half of 2024.

This continued into the third quarter of 2024, when the segment’s revenue jumped 61.8% compared to the same period in 2023.

Vodacom (South Africa's largest mobile network) has also increasingly focused on its financial services offerings, including VodaPay and M-Pesa, Africa’s most successful mobile money service.

The shift towards financial services aims to diversify telecom offerings.

While conventional cellular service revenue continues to be their bread and butter, growth in this segment has slowed down in recent years.

The rapid expansion of mobile network infrastructure, declining data prices, and increased competition have made cellular connectivity in South Africa more accessible, limiting growth prospects in cellular revenues.

PhonesSA Electricity Minister Named Man Of The Year For "Job Well Done" - PICTURES by RandDigital(op):
The Minister of Electricity and Energy, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, is 2024’s SA Person of the Year for especially keeping the country load shedding-free (powercut-free) this year.

The Daily Maverick reported on 22 December 2024 that the Minister was given this title by its readers.

They voted for him for emphasising on accountability, transparency and keeping load shedding at bay for most of the year.

Daily Maverick defines a Person of the Year winner as “an individual or group that has made the most significant and widespread positive contributions to the nation or the world as a whole.”

According to the publication, Ramokgopa’s level of transparency and accountability made him stand out from the rest. He made South Africans part of the journey by holding regular media briefings and public forums.

One of the main factors that contributed to Ramokgopa winning the title is being able to keep the country’s lights on for the longest time. This was after SA was hit hard by rolling blackouts that had a ripple effect on many sectors.

Since his appointment in June 2024, Ramokgopa has worked hard to fix the numerous issues that were plaguing Eskom. He has been lauded for hugely contributing to giving SA some form of stability and change.


Eskom announced this week that load shedding has been suspended for a total of 268 days. That means South Africa has gone more than half a year without rolling blackouts. The power utility said this has resulted in “R16.06 billion year-on-year diesel savings.”

CrimeSA Police Swoop On Suspected Nigerian Drug Dealer In Viral Take Down - PICTURES by RandDigital(op): 8:20pm On Dec 16, 2024
A recently surfaced video of a multi-disciplinary team taking down a suspected Nigerian drug dealer is making the rounds online. Law enforcement was filmed moving in on the suspect sitting in a parked car in what appeared to be an industrial area.

The video was posted on the @MDNnewss X page on Friday, 13 December 2024. According to the caption, the operation happened in the Gauteng province.

"In a targeted operation in Pretoria (Tshwane) West, law enforcement officers arrested a Nigerian national suspected of drug dealing."

The 39-second clip shows a team comprising the Tshwane Metro Police Department (TMPD) Drug Unit swooping on the occupant of a Toyota Fortuna.

Several women, including TMPD Commissioner Yolanda Faro, are in the leading group, supported by officers armed with high-calibre weapons. Faro, a female officer and a male officer in civilian clothing are seen approaching the vehicle from the left — hitting the window as they bark orders for the suspect to get out.

"Open this door! Open it! Get out, get out!" the officers command. The suspect emerges seconds later before cops order him to lie down facedown on the floor. The man is then placed in handcuffs while his car is searched.

The clip garnered almost 490,000 views since it was published with over 4,000 comments.

The Hermanus Festive Lights Project officially kicked off on 26th November 2024, brightening up the scenic seaside town for the holiday season. But this year, the lights have grabbed attention for a completely unexpected reason. Thanks to a cheeky photoshopped image, the town’s festive greeting has gone viral on social media, and the results are utterly hilarious.

Hermanus is a gem of a town nestled along the Western Cape coastline. Known for its world-class whale watching, stunning beaches, and warm hospitality, it’s a favourite destination for both South Africans and international travellers. Its natural beauty, coupled with a rich cultural vibe, makes it a must-visit spot year-round, but especially during the festive season when the town sparkles with holiday cheer.

This year, however, a twist on the town’s festive lights has everyone talking.

A cleverly altered photo shows the “Welcome To Hermanus” sign seemingly missing the letter “M”, transforming the warm greeting into “Welcome To Her A-nus”. The doctored image is being widely shared across social media, evoking waves of laughter from all who see it.

The post has gone viral, with comments rolling in from every corner of the internet. “I haven’t laughed this hard in ages,” one user shared, while another joked, “I might just take a trip to ‘Her A-nus’ for the holidays!” It’s moments like these that remind us of the joy found in simple, harmless humour.

While the real sign remains intact and properly lit, the laughter it has inspired is very real – and arguably just as festive as the lights themselves. Some South Africans even speculate that this burst of viral fame could boost visits to Hermanus as curious travellers come to see the lights that sparked so much joy online.

And that’s what makes this story so good. At a time when the world can feel heavy, a bit of silliness has reminded us all to smile.
