The best retail rewards programme in South Africa isn’t flashy. It doesn’t offer points for weekend getaways or exclusive access to airport lounges. What it offers is far more practical — and far more profound. It offers bread. Milk. Airtime. Petrol. Small things, stacked daily, that help 33 million South Africans stretch their budgets just enough to make it to the end of the month.

There’s no need to toggle through menus. Just lift, frame and shoot. The phone adapts to you in the background. Likewise, the Mate XT, Huawei’s tri-fold smartphone, sounds outlandish on paper, but felt surprisingly normal in the hand.
