The team discuss the personal finance app 22seven’s absorption into Old Mutual, resulting in the founders’ departures. We ponder how long the deal has been in place, and what South Africans should expect with the change.
We also discuss the #CupBlowingChallenge, in which teenagers are partaking in a strange science trick involving cups and the sheer force of their breath. We marvel at the skill, science and ridiculousness of it all.
