Today our guest is Dr Ridwaan Asvat who is the Operations Director at Regent Business School.

• REGENT BUSINESS SCHOOL has developed the MAHALABox.
• When the box is connected to a cellphone, users can download videos, e-books and other crucial information without data or access to the internet.
• While many South Africans have a smartphone, the cost of data can put internet access out of reach, and this digital divide reinforces the inequalities too many South Africans face each day.
• Almost 60-million smartphones are connected to mobile networks in South Africa everyday, which is why the MAHALABox requires just a smartphone to turn it into a one-stop shop for a wide range of information and job placements, along with access to agencies, employers and recruiters - all of which would be impossible without data.
