  Speaker 3: And my goal is to get them to put the
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: phone down on me. Which is a very difficult thing
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: to do. There's some new stats that they've revealed here
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: in South Africa. Truecaller revealed these stats. These stats are
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: going to stop you in your tracks. Truecaller, you know

  Speaker 3: first half of 2026 in South Africa, the first half
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: of 2026, spam calls have gone up by 25% year
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: on year.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Sure. Felt.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: So, from the first half of 2025... The first half
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: of 2020 has gone up. It's not slowing.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: They're calling us more and more. Exactly.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: So now, how many calls? Well, let me not drag
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: it out. The amount of calls in the first half
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: of 2026. From January 1 to the end of June 1, 2026.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: We have been pestered.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: With 17.5 billion spam calls.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Billion?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Not million. Billion spam calls.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: No, Darren.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: As a nation of South Africa. No, these people must
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: be stopped. Spam calls.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: And 64% of all of those calls are all sales calls. Hello,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: we'd like to interest you in, would you like to buy?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: It's all of that. So, now, I did a little
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: equation here. So, 17 billion... calls.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: If you divide that by our population and let's take
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: in let's take people over the age of 16 years
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: now the rough estimate is we've got 43 million people
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: over the age of 16 in South Africa 43 million
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: divide that over six months months per month and divide
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: that by 23 days uh because that's your average Monday
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: to Fridays per month 23 of them um We get
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: every person in South Africa above the age of 16
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: gets three spam calls a day. Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Three a day. And that really sounds about right. That's
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the average.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know who's not getting any calls because I
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: can get six, seven, eight a day.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. To the point where now I even recognize some
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: of the numbers. I even recognize when... The numbers have
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: been slightly changed But I know they're coming from the
• 3:00

  Speaker 1: come to an agreement with me in order for your
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: service to be activated, sir.

  Speaker 2: Can you just go back now and just pretend that
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: you've activated it five minutes ago?
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, but keep in mind that I can't lose my
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: job for just giving false information as well. So I've
