She examines the relatively limited pure-tech offering on the JSE, including Prosus, Naspers and Karooooo, and explains why many South African investors look offshore for greater technology exposure.\r\n\r\nMyers also considers whether businesses such as Capitec, FirstRand, MTN and Vodacom should increasingly be viewed through a technology lens as software, fintech, AI and digital platforms become central to their strategies.\r\n\r\nThe discussion then moves offshore to Latin America, where MercadoLibre and Nubank are disrupting e-commerce, payments and banking, before examining India's role in the global technology ecosystem through companies such as Tata Consultancy Services and Tech Mahindra. Myers also explains how ETFs and individual shares can be combined in a portfolio and highlights the currency, political and liquidity risks associated with emerging markets.\r\n\r\n0:00 Emerging-market technology\r\n0:56 Tech stocks on the JSE\r\n3:01 Karooooo's South African roots\r\n4:37 Prosus, Naspers and Tencent\r\n8:07 South Africa's hidden tech companies\r\n14:38 MercadoLibre and Nubank\r\n20:49 India's global technology opportunity\r\n\r\nFollow BusinessTech:\r\nX - https://twitter.com/businesstechSA\r\nFacebook - https://web.facebook.com/BusinessTechSA\r\nInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/businesstechsa\r\nWebsite - https://businesstech.co.za/news/\r\n\r\n#TechInvesting #EmergingMarkets #Investing [featureEpisode] => https://player.vimeo.com/video/1240093273 [featureDuration] => 28:44 min [featureImageMobile] => img/guests/ET-001-0030-014.jpg [featurePublication] => 2026-10-28 06:20:26 [featureLogo] => img/logos/SL115.png )
