Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Talking Success (Part 2), Darren Franks sat down with Kevin Odudoh, Ati Ngubevana and Peter Malebye from Vodacom Business. They tell us how they are approaching AI with a clear business lens, drawing on capabilities proven inside the Group and now offered to enterprise clients. The focus is practical: financial inclusion, fraud reduction, compliance and measurable ROI. AI is on every executive agenda. The tough bit is not the technology itself. It is proving that the investment will lift revenue, protect margins and strengthen trust. Below is a distillation of the first half of that conversation, shaped for founders, product leaders and risk executives across African financial services. If you want AI to do more than generate demos, this is for you.
