While we are seeing increasing competition for talent from our OTT competitors across all our markets, our recent partnership with Comcast, NBCUniversal and Sky does provide access to some of the leading OTT talent globally. Our investments and collaboration with leading educational institutions, industry bodies, partners and subject matter experts enable us to recruit and build young talent to drive our business forward. We grow local talent through the MultiChoice Talent Factory which seeds, incubates and nurtures African storytellers. We develop deep technical TV, lm, technology, engineering and data science expertise in partnership with prestigious global institutions like the New York Film Academy, Duke University, Harvard, Wharton, Henley Business School and leading local institutions in each country such as the University of Pretoria and Wits in South Africa. In recognition of the key role that arti cial intelligence, speci cally machine learning, will play in unlocking a digital future, we partnered with the University of Pretoria to sponsor the MultiChoice Chair in Machine Learning in 2018. Given its past success over the last ve years, the agreement has now been renewed for a second ve-year term. We continuously monitor the level of fair and responsible pay for all our employees and we are aware of pending legislation on pay gap disclosures. Our minimum salary in South Africa is more than three times the current minimum wage requirements set by the government. We are proud of the suite of bene ts offered to our employees (detailed on pages 106 and 107).
