Weekly Round Up #41: Mxit closure, Venture Capital, Halo 5, Twitter and Apple financials

Welcome to Weekly Roundup, our podcast discussing the latest tech trends, innovation and news from the last few days.

This week on BurnCast, Stuart Thomas talks to Gearburn Editor Andy Walker, Sales Manager Nick Thomson, and Staff Reporters Graham van de Made and Jacques Coetzee.

The team discusses the collapse of Mxit, SAVCA’s survey on Venture Capital in South Africa, Halo 5, Twitter and Apple financial reports for the Q4 2015.

The team talks about what games, television series, movies they are looking forward to playing and things get awkward when Stu reveals that he is looking forward to playing a game called horse simulator.

And as always we have the Tweet of the week.
