		<description><![CDATA[The announcement last week that Naspers has put MWeb up for auction created a stir of surprise, but not shock.
Is the decision by Naspers to sell MWeb a vote of no confidence in the internet? Hardly. If anything, it declares the opposite: a recognition that the internet has become so pervasive that its best businesses [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is it only me, or has the media&#8217;s leverage of technology allowed its coverage of economic news to stagnate? The technology is now available to plug so many automated feeds into tracking of daily market indicators that the people responsible for economic coverage no longer think about what they are reporting.
Usually, a sure sign that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is it only me, or does everyone else get the idea that Reserve Bank governor Tito Mboweni is adding up the right numbers but getting the wrong answer?
Every time the inflation rate rises, he sticks it to the consumer, blaming our spending habits for putting a strain on the economy. His reasoning, that there is [...]]]></description>
