It's a Friday and time for our weekly tech feature called Techbase. And tonight we're speaking to the developer of an app that allows people to report infestations of the tiny beetle that is killing South African trees. Earlier we spoke to an academic involved in efforts to deal with the Polyphagous shot hole borer. It bores holes into tree trunks and then spreads a fungus it carries which cuts off the system that transports water and nutrients. And it's impossible to tell how many trees have already died or will. The app is called Tree Survey. And the developer is Hilton Fryer. For more news, visit: sabcnews.com
