The soul-destroying Twitter outages and more recent SEACOM broadband disruptions notwithstanding, the team at the AfricanTechRoundup.com has been extremely busy since we properly got 2016 on the go a few weeks ago. So busy in fact, that Tefo Mohapi was unable to join Andile Masuku on the show this week. (Heads up. This week’s episode will be uncharacteristically short.)

Andile was interviewed by SABC Network’s Siphumelele Zondi and asked to talk about the simple steps we all can take to protect our social media accounts from malicious attacks.

This followed the embarrassing posting of semi-nude pics via South African Minister of Sport and Recreation Fikile Mbalula’s Twitter account this past week— an event the minister wrote off to his account being hacked.

Do check out that interview below (start watching at 11:40mins):
