  • TCS | BMW CEO Peter van Binsbergen on the future of South Africa’s automotive industry

    TCS | BMW CEO Peter van Binsbergen on the future of South Africa’s automotive industry
    Nov 6 2025
    South Africa’s automotive industry is in a state of flux. In this episode of the TechCentral Show, BMW Group South Africa CEO Peter van Binsbergen unpacks the challenges – and opportunities – facing a sector under pressure.
    He tells TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod about the future of BMW’s Rosslyn manufacturing plant in Pretoria, which was established more than half a century ago, and the urgent need for new government policy to ensure the automotive industrial base in South Africa is future-fit and ready for the shift to electric mobility.
    Van Binsbergen also discusses the rise of imported vehicles in the sales mix in South Africa – including the rapid expansion of Chinese brands. China is a market he knows well, having spent three years there with BMW.
    In the interview, TechCentral Show viewers will also hear about:
    • The state of the local automotive manufacturing industry;
    • What South Africa needs to implement in policy reform to ensure the automotive industrial base in South Africa – and why this is urgent;
    • How the country must adapt to the global shift to electric mobility;
    • The role of BMW’s IT Hub in South Africa;
    • BMW’s global EV strategy, and what that means for South African EV buyers; and
    • BMW’s Neue Klasse vehicles, which run the company’s next-generation EV platform, and why they are significant to its future.

  • TCS | Why Altron is building an AI factory

    TCS | Why Altron is building an AI factory
    Oct 28 2025
    Altron earlier this month announced that it has deployed an "AI factory" in one of Teraco’s new Johannesburg data centres. Powered by Nvidia AI infrastructure and software, the factory is has already gone live with half a dozen customers.
    In this episode of the TechCentral Show, Altron Group chief technology officer Bongani Andy Mabaso explains the rationale for the investment, what building the factory entailed and what the anchor tenants are using the platform to do.
    Mabaso tells TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod:
    • What an AI factory is exactly and why Altron has decided to build one;
    • What’s involved in deploying AI infrastructure, especially from a power and cooling perspective – and why Altron decided to locate its AI factory at Teraco;
    • What companies like Lelapa AI, MathU and Dataviue are using the Altron AI Factory to do;
    • Why Altron partnered with Asus and HPE on the project;
    • How the infrastructure can be used; and
    • The advantages of hosting an AI factory in South Africa, as opposed to an offshore data centre – it’s not only about better network latency.

  • TCS+ | Videsha Proothveerajh on Vodacom Business’s new approach to enterprise technology

    TCS+ | Videsha Proothveerajh on Vodacom Business’s new approach to enterprise technology
    Oct 28 2025
    Vodacom Business recently appointed an “extraordinary business advisory board”, a strategic initiative designed to strengthen its enterprise expertise and support organisations on their digital transformation journeys.
    To unpack the decision to appoint an advisory board, TechCentral is joined in this episode of TCS+ by Videsha Proothveerajh, director of Vodacom Business, who explains that it’s all part of Vodacom’s shift from being a traditional telecommunications provider to a “techco”, or technology company.
    In this episodes Proothveerajh chats about:
    • The advisory board, who it is comprised of and the purpose it is meant to serve in the business services landscape in South Africa;
    • The fact that the pace of technology change has accelerated coming out of Covid and how this influenced Vodacom Business’s approach to digital transformation;
    • How the new advisory board influences Vodacom’s approach to guiding enterprise clients on digital transformation;
    • The role the latest telecoms technologies, including 5G and the internet of things, are playing in the business-to-business environment in which Vodacom Business operates;
    • How Vodacom Business tailors its digital transformation solutions to meet the needs of different industries or enterprise segments, or indeed of customers that might not be as advanced as others in their application of technology;
    • The most common obstacles South African enterprises face when it comes to technology adoption and digital transformation; and
    • The emerging trends and technologies that will have the biggest impact on the business market in the next few years.
