. i made for us all and let's do business today marks the 1st anniversary of the crash of ethiopian airlines flight 302 a year ago 157 passengers on a boeing 737 max plane bound for nairobi had lost their lives after a flight control system proof fatally flawed monday the o.p.'s aircraft accident investigation bureau released a report saying that not the airlines or the pilots but the boeing planes software caused the crash leading to a grounding of the boeing 737 max that is still in effect. still in mourning one year after the crash these people who lost relatives and friends traveled from france to address ababa ethiopia u.s. aircraft manufacturer boeing has pledged about $150000.00 for each victim to little many say now the families are suing boeing in court they accuse the aircraft

manufacturer of neglecting safety. we were kissing each of them on the all 1st that buoying cussed me. out not a 7th of all. for most of our audience we have made this a little 20. 8 kids we're going to continue with a mediation process and we're going to continue with the case the scene according to the ethiopian government's interim report on the $737.00 max crash found systematic design flaws in the plane for example the automatic control system was faulty so that the aircraft was steered towards the ground the reason for the crash since the accident the $737.00 max machines have been grounded causing boeing a loss of nearly $4000000000.00 the company is currently working on getting the planes recertified but new problems keep cropping up most recently with the wiring

in spite of the problems boeing expects the $737.00 max to be allowed to take off again in the middle of this year. if you want more detail coverage on boeing the fate of its 737 max and the role of u.s. aviation regulate the f.a.a. we'd like to encourage me to go to a website that's the dot com slash business and you'll find all the background you could possibly want on this topic. south africa is the confidence banking hub it's also the largest or the target rather of a new assault by digital glenda's and they're proving popular time bank t y m e which stands for take your money everywhere calls itself the country's 1st fully digital bank the fees are lower than the financial institutions instead of id a fingerprint suffices and young south africans are very open minded towards new technologies. let's bring in alice funk in cape town how

successful are these new digital led disastrously proving in your opinion well they actually started quite strong as you look at time bank for example and that target young people at all sort of lower income markets on the 1st day they recorded over half a 1000000 in transactions and 2 weeks back to you had 80000 customers cover your bank another financial digital lender and they're targeting boarded up high income markets they have about same amount of customers still for a few thousands but they have recorded it so far as 66000000 euros in deposits so does definitely get there and there are definite making a mark here and shaking up the banking industry yes it is competition on the same or what are the true traditional banks talking about it. well the traditional banks have been trying to target mainly the lower income markets because the us does a lot of people here that have been complaining about bank fees so van fees are

very expensive and that's why these digital lenders are now saying like look we don't have branches we don't have brick and mortar building so we can actually keep those fees quite low and they're also saying like look you convenience so you know go to a supermarket speak and pay transact and deposit your money so that's also something that actually people are liking here at convenience part and as you say it's also they have less documents if you if you go here to a traditional bank you often in december you slip to open a bank accounts and a lot of south africans are working in the informal sector and don't have that so at the time i actually am going to get we need to go and see how these traditional banks that response they've been trying to target the markets but these banks seem to just do much better job now south africa is seen as a test market could we see these the delenda spread all over africa. definitely i think think south africa for africa itself if you look at

a lot of african countries they've done a lot more money so far so people have more well what while that's the transect with that they say with that and that's you that africa a lot of people don't go to to a building project building up a bank in africa so i think those definitely going to flee add to that success of kind of digital technical solutions to get more african people to bank and to be financial include it and also for them to to plan their lives that's because in the end it also means they can develop businesses they can save for school fees so there's definitely importance to to have these options menu for the low income markets and what's interesting is that they're also aiming to be much more than just banks these digital lenders yes no definitely definitely discovery banks for example says they are a behavior changer what they are doing is that they're saying ok if you are saving

a lot the interest rate you get is actually higher so city hope to kind of creates a saving mentality in the inside africa and a time bank for example as i sit the kiosks are in that big retail giants here because you can market mainly and you can actually if you transact and deposit then you step back you can also earn points to to go shopping so that actually are incentives that are important for people and brought to our customers and as for the credit for us in cape town thank you very much. around the globe investors a still wary of the yesterday's shock trading session the coronavirus and the steep drop in oil prices remain the big concern for investors oprah says are up by around 8 percent today with russia now not excluding negotiations with other oil producers a virus led production cuts through to lower demand stock markets in africa are a mixed bag after yesterday's rout song global equity markets south africa's
