Loading player...
In this episode, Lisette IJssel de Schepper, chief economist at the Bureau for Economic Research, on what failing municipalities cost businesses and local economies, why smaller firms suffer most, and whether a change in political leadership after the local elections can deliver better services. Her answer is that confidence can turn before services do, but competence and accountability still have to follow.
Michael Tones, co-founder of Nawty Water, tells the story of two schoolmates who sold a house and a dream car to launch a low-calorie hard seltzer, trademarked a name two days after a joke at a braai, and got into 500 stores by starting with one.
Helena Wasserman, editor of News24 Business, on local election coalitions, the US midterms and a rand that firmed to R16.33. She also covers Concor in business rescue and what losing AGOA really means for South Africa.
And Graeme Korner of Korner Perspective on a global market rally, the JSE’s best day in months, and why value in South African financials is hard to ignore.
