b"We attended Afrikoin Johannesburg on 3 December 2015.\\n\\nAt the event, Andile Masuku posed a question that led to a very lively debate about whether improved \\u201caccess\\u201d to seamless, more affordable financial services does in fact equal \\u201cinclusion\\u201d for Africa\\u2019s poorest\\u2014 especially given how centralised the world\\u2019s computing power is, and how huge stashes of Bitcoin are held by a relatively few well-resourced interests.\\n\\nWe also caught up with Savannah Fund founder, Mbwana Alliy for a chat after the event.\\n\\nIn this week\\u2019s episode of the African Tech Round-Up (the last full-length episode of 2015), you can not only look forward to listening to Andile and Tefo's impromptu chat with Mbwana in its entirety (including him sharing his thoughts on the Angani debacle), but you can also look forward to hearing two leading Zimbabwean startup founders explain why Zimbabwe might be the perfect use-case for disruptive fintech innovations.\\n\\nThen heads up, folks! For the next four weeks starting next week, in place of our regular podcast programming we\\u2019ll be sharing exclusive content from the Annual Round-up 2015 event we hosted at the Wanderers Club, Johannesburg 2 weeks ago.\\n\\nWe\\u2019ll kick things off next week by sharing a conversation we had with Senior Investment Executive, RMI Holdings, Dominique Collett-Antolik and CEO & Founding Partner, Convergence Partners, Brandon Doyle around tech in enterprise.\\n\\nDon\\u2019t miss it!\\n\\nAdditional Music Credits:\\nMusic by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)\\nMusic licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0"
