BizNews Radio

South Africa, unspun. Since its launch in 2013, BizNews has covered the issues and asked the questions others tiptoe around.

Every week the team led by Alec Hogg sit down with the people who actually move markets and shape policy: CEOs, investors, economists, constitutional lawyers and the politicians brave enough to take a straight question. We cover the JSE, global markets, corporate governance, the rule of law and the political economy that ties it all together.

No spin. No jargon. No hour-long preamble. Just sharp conversations with people who know what they’re talking about and are given the space to communicate it properly - with follow-up questions when they don’t.

Is South Africa fixable? Where’s the smart money going? Who’s really making the decisions on key issues that impact our lives? Pull up a chair.
