Business Talk – The South African business podcast with over 8 million views
Business Talk with Michael Avery has rapidly grown into South Africa’s top business podcast since its launch.
The podcast was founded six years ago by BusinessTech to serve as a platform for South Africa’s leading business experts and executives to share their insights and knowledge – and it has grown massively.
This includes reaching over 6 million views towards the end of 2024, then climbing to 7 million in early 2025, and most recently surpassing 8 million views at the end of 2025.
The massive growth Business Talk has enjoyed can be attributed to the consistent quality it delivers across the business topics it covers, and the excellent guests it has hosted.
The majority of these guests hold leading positions at South Africa’s top companies, and they appear on Business Talk to share their valuable knowledge with a receptive audience.
The notable guests that appeared on the podcast in 2025 include:
- Wendy Myers – Head of Securities at PSG
- Mark Beringer – Head of Monocle Tech
- Ryk Neethling – Marketing and Brand Director of the Val de Vie Group of Companies
- Richard Mukheibir – CEO of Cash Converters
- Phil Wilson – Sales Director for Evergreen Lifestyle
- Ali Mazanderani – Executive Chairman at Lesaka Technologies
- Neil Kirby – Head of Werksmans Attorneys Healthcare and Life Sciences Practice
- Riaan van Reenen – CEO of Discovery Life
- Willem Olivier – CEO of Resilient Innovations
Among these leading figures, many have become regular guests on the podcast because of the value it offers to them and the businesses they lead.

8 million views is a substantial milestone – but the journey doesn’t end there. Business Talk will continue to grow and build on its success throughout 2026 and beyond.
