Not enough data
Duncan's coverage mainly focuses on local business and technology in South Africa, particularly Pretoria. It is evident that he heavily relies on press releases and government announcements for his articles. Therefore, if you have significant news related to management changes or technological advancements within the South African business landscape, Duncan may be interested.
Given his emphasis on software & SaaS, big tech, and telecommunications topics with a focus on South Africa specifically, pitches should aim to provide insights into these areas from a local perspective. This could include updates on industry developments or exclusive data relevant to businesses operating in the region.
Keep in mind that as Duncan's geographic focus is local to South Africa (Pretoria), any pitches should align with this regional scope to maximize their relevance.
