That's the opportunity Themba Nyembezi and Dirk Odendaal recognised when they founded Fly Ash Africa, a business transforming an industrial by-product into a commercially valuable material for cement manufacturers and mines.

Themba came from a career in corporate investment, while Dirk brought decades of cement industry experience.

WhatsApp is introducing a long-awaited feature that will let users schedule messages to be sent at a chosen date and time.
