This audio is brought to you by Endress and Hauser, a leading supplier of products, solutions and services for industrial process measurement and automation. Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA), whose members include the largest domestic and foreign companies operating in South Africa, has added its voice to a growing chorus of opposition to the draft Integrated Resource Plan 2023 (IRP 2023) and has called for it to be "revised immediately". Writing in her weekly newsletter, CEO Busisiwe Mavuso said no good case had been built for the assumptions in the IRP 2023 and warned that the document was "tainting" the positive news associated with reduced levels of loadshedding, which she attributed to the Energy Action Plan and the collaboration between government and business. "The first, overarching problem, is that it goes against the least-cost principle and presents some spurious costing estimates that appear to elevate the price of renewable energy and underestimate the cost of fossil fuels. "Then it slashes the amount of renewable energy - still easily the cheapest form of new energy generation - to be installed between 2024 and 2030 via public procurement from 15.2 GW in IRP 2019 to 8 GW in IRP 2023. "The huge increase in the allocation to gas is also eyebrow-raising - it allocates 7.22 GW to gas-based generation, up from 3 GW in the IRP 2019," Mavuso writes, while noting an absence of the infrastructure required for the importation of gas. Also questioned is the IRP 2023's assumption of a delayed coal shutdown, which failed to take account of the extension costs, and the market reality that "funding for new fossil fuel ventures does not exist". The document's misalignment with domestic climate policy is also highlighted, along with the threat posed to business by the imminent implementation of carbon taxes. Mavuso said the 900 MW yearly allocation in the IRP 2023 for rooftop solar was an underestimate in light of the fact that far higher levels of deployment were already being achieved. While the low future demand trajectory assumed "puts the entire modelling process at risk". "The bottom line is that we need electricity that is affordable, reliable and can come onstream quickly. "Anything that goes against that doesn't make sense and the IRP needs to be reworked to facilitate this - it's an imperative to enable economic growth and boost employment," Mavuso wrote. She also referred to the document as but one example of bad policy, mitigating against economic growth and employment creation. "To get to the point where the economy is growing fast enough to create jobs at a significant rate, all the dysfunctional elements need to be remedied," she added, highlighting transport and logistics, water, infrastructure, poor service delivery, State company inefficiency and ongoing corruption as key concerns for business. "Opposition within government to reforms slows everything down at best or results in failure," she added. BLSA's input on the IRP 2023 follows on from the March 23 deadline for public comment on the draft document, which was published in early January. In the run up to the deadline, several business and civil society organisations also strongly criticised the document and appealed for it to be overhauled.

The strike by employees at Transnet's port and rail operations is going to cost the economy billions of rands and will likely set back the country's efforts to drive a recovery, says business organisation Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA) CEO Busi Mavuso. Some Transnet employees have downed tools in a dispute over wage increases. Mavuso describes the strike as an act of economic sabotage that will damage government revenue, robbing it of the resources needed to provide poverty relief. Industry body the Steel and Engineering Industries Federation of Southern Africa (Seifsa) states that the South African economy is already on its knees. "Our economy is under siege as it battles a jobs, growth and hunger crisis. A devastating 63.9% of South Africans under the age of 24 are unemployed, consumer inflation is at a 13-year high and one-in-four people live below the food poverty line. "A full-blown strike at Transnet will add to the damage suffered by the South African economy. This will be as bad as load-shedding in terms of economic impact. For an economy battling to maintain momentum, this could well be the final nail in the coffin," Seifsa CEO Lucio Trentini says. The strike has forced Transnet to suspend all activity in its ports, snarling up imports and exports for the whole country. Miners and many other companies are losing billions while this goes on, with early estimates putting the costs at R6-billion a day, Mavuso states. The unions have said the strike is indefinite and 15 000 workers are not going to be working today. All ports and freight rail are not expected to operate, she adds. "This is disastrous not only to obvious sectors linked to direct imports like the medical sector, and exports, like the mining sector, but to the entire, interconnected economy. It further damages South Africa's brand, with global cargo operators likely already moving on to other ports and further deprioritising South Africa. This is very bad news indeed," Mavuso asserts. "The decision by United National Transport Union (Untu) and the South African Transport and Allied Workers' Union (Satawu), to go on strike last week, in the middle of negotiations that were ongoing at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA), is another severe blow to the economy. “The strike is, at the very least, an act of bad faith, given that negotiations were under way at the time and several court cases are testing its legality. It caught both Transnet and government off guard," she adds. Seifsa has appealed for a constructive approach that seeks to advance the interests of the country. "Transnet, as with Eskom, is crucial to the country's economy. Transnet's rail and port facilities are key to exporting the country's bulk commodity exports such as coal, iron-ore, chrome and manganese. A full-blown strike at Transnet, which seems unavoidable, will have a serious effect on the economy, as it will halt exports and put thousands of jobs on the line," Trentini notes. Exporters rely heavily on efficient rail networks and ports, but Transnet has been operating below capacity for years as it grapples with a shortage of locomotives, cable theft, vandalism, poor maintenance and outdated and slow port infrastructure. This substandard service has had a significant impact on the local steel industry and its ability to manufacture steel to meet its customers' demands. In some instances, primary steel producers have had to shut down operating plants due to the unavailability of raw materials, at great cost to their businesses and the economy, states Seifsa. "We know that it will not be easy to make compromises, but we appeal nevertheless for a win-win approach to the negotiations, as opposed to a winner-takes-all approach. Our plea to all the negotiators, and to those from whom they obtain their mandates, is that you rise above your narrow interests and put the interests of the South African economy first, and look to settle quickly," Trentini says...

Controversial consultancy firm, Bain and Company, yesterday announced its withdrawal from Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA). The US firm has been linked to allegations of corruption related to work it did for the South African Revenue Service (Sars), pocketing millions of rands in what was subsequently declared as illegal in the State Capture Commission of Inquiry Report. The company has also apologized saying it was an "unwitting participant in a process that inflicted serious damage" on SARS. The scathing Zondo report found that Bain knew about the appointment of former SARS commissioner Tom Moyane before it was announced and assisted Moyane in crafting a planned restructuring at the tax agency before he even stepped foot into SARS.  Independent researcher and author Dr Dale McKinley has been keenly following the Zondo Commission and it's first report and gives us his perspective

Shaniel Lewis returns as a guest for this episode. Shaniel's a 2L student at Osgoode.   After much rambling, the discussion finally gets around to the reason Shaniel has returned -- to talk about the Black Law Students Association (or more colloquially known as BLSA, pronounced "Balsa").   Richard teases both Felicity and Shaniel by withholding some sage advice. He also remembers he has a gift for Shaniel, which remains hibernating in his office at the law school. He promises to get it to her someday once the pandemic is over.   Links: WLGTDWI Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatslawgottodowithit/   Music Attribution: What's Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner Soundcloud: What's Love Got to Do with It

Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA) says it is concerned about the escalating illicit trade of goods in the country. CEO of BLSA, Busi Mavuso, says the country is losing billions of rand to illicit trade. Mavuso says the ban on the sale of alcohol and cigarettes during during alert levels three and four lockdown restrictions made the situation worse. The South African Revenue Service says it has lost over one-point-five-billion-rand in excise duty as a result of the implementation of the lockdown restrictions on the sale of booze and cigarettes last year

The latest sovereign ratings downgrades imposed on South Africa have dealt a blow to the country's economic recovery plan and should spur government into action to address the issues raised by Moody’s and Fitch. Responding to the news that Moody's and Fitch have pushed South Africa's credit rating deeper into junk status, Business Unity South Africa (Busa) CEO Cas Coovadia said in a statement at the weekend that the downgrades reinforced the "severe socioeconomic crisis confronting the country". " . . . [this] should impress on all stakeholders the urgency with which clear, hard decisions need to be taken." North West University Business School economist Professor Raymond Parsons commented that, while expected, the decisions by the ratings agencies were not good news for the economy and that it highlighted the urgent need for South Africa to change its economic narrative. The Moody's downgrade places South Africa two notches into junk status, while the Fitch downgrade places the country three notches below junk status. Fitch downgraded South Africa’s long term foreign and local currency debt ratings to ‘BB-‘ from ‘BB’, while maintaining a negative outlook. Moody’s downgraded South Africa’s long term foreign and local currency debt ratings to ‘Ba2’ from ‘Ba1’, also maintaining a negative outlook. Although Standard and Poor’s (S&P's) has kept its investment outlook as neutral, Parsons pointed out that, overall, this was South Africa’s “worst rating ever” from the big three rating agencies since 1994. Busa urged government to implement short-term deliverables, while tabling credible and properly resourced plans for longer term interventions. Particularly, Busa believes South Africa must address its low levels of productivity, exercise wage restraint, improve the ease of doing business and competitiveness, while dealing with the ongoing challenge of financially weak State-owned enterprises (SOEs) that are not fit for purpose. “In all of these areas business stands ready to support the necessary actions. However, we firmly believe we do not have to continue discussions on what needs to be done. “Social partners, including government, have identified immediately implementable areas. These fall primarily in the ambit of government to implement and business has offered capacity to assist wherever the situation requires. Business is also committed to invest if long standing and repeatedly identified structural economic reforms are put in place,” Coovadia said. Meanwhile, Business Leadership South Africa CEO Busi Mavuso stated that the ratings were a blow to the credibility of the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan, with the agencies effectively saying they did not believe it would work. BLSA and Busa both said that implementation is what matters now. Mavuso noted that the structural reforms the country had been hammering on about had been needed for years and that it was the only way the country could provide an impetus to the private sector to boost investment, given that fiscal stimulus was not an option. “But the other implementation we have to deliver on is restraining public expenditure. These downgrades are going to hurt, making it more expensive for government to borrow. Government cannot increase spending, but it can ensure that spending delivers more to the economy by shifting it out of consumption and into investment. “That means public sector wages are one of the key areas for restraint, as well as no more bailouts for SOEs.” Mavuso pointed out that the public sector had to adjust to the fact that the South African economy was smaller than it was and that it did not have the financial muscle to borrow any more. “To try and continue with business as usual will be to continue pushing against economic reality. It will lead to more downgrades and eventual collapse when our funders say, ‘no more’”. National Treasury in a response statement to the downgrades acknowledged that the downgra...

In an open letter from Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA) addressed to Finance Minister Tito Mboweni, the organisation asks that the Medium Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS) "aggressively trim remaining fat" towards efficient revenue collection in the country. On behalf of business, BLSA calls for meaningful restraint on the public sector wage bill and that priority be given to necessary social and recovery spending. Mboweni is due to deliver the MTBPS on October 28. BLSA adds that while the desire to see a “primary balance” by 2023/24 sounds rather dry, business understands it is important as a step towards balancing the books and stabilising debt levels as a share of gross domestic product (GDP). Equally, it says, expenditure on the compensation budget must fall toward 10.5% of GDP from 14.2% this fiscal year. BLSA recommends that healthcare, education and the National Prosecuting Authority be prioritised in the budget, while poor past decisions mean substantial commitments to State-owned entities (SOEs) also have to be met, particularly Eskom. “Pain has to be taken on budget lines where the growth impact will be smallest. It is important, too, to set out a roadmap toward the elimination of SOE subsidies and bailouts that is more credible than past promises. “Many issues that were clear in the emergency budget at the end of June were thrown forward, some to the Budget in February 2021. Business wants to hear some detail at the MTBPS to reduce doubt and aid planning for the year ahead in such uncertain times,” BLSA states. It adds that an MTBPS that can establish credibility and a path out of this crisis will boost confidence and "tilt the dial" on investment and hiring decisions that are uncertain at present. “Decisions are always made in business at the margin and [the National] Treasury should affect trust and faith at the margin to make a real difference.” PRIVATE SECTOR LEADERSHIP The organisation states that business has, through BLSA, Business for South Africa and other forums, provided technical support, personnel and expertise into government over the past two-and-a-half years in response to the President’s thuma mina call. "Yet, a recovery from a crisis of this depth cannot be micromanaged and must be unleashed with the State assembling the right foundations," it asserts. BLSA believes government needs to understand where it does not have the capacity - let alone the funds – to drive elements of the recovery and enable business to do so, where applicable. There are three key areas in this regard which are interlinked, BLSA explains. First, the government’s infrastructure push is welcome but cannot be fully centrally directed at every stage and must see a greater degree of private-led provisioning and financing of bankable projects. “Our member firms, including banks and asset managers – stand ready to fund bankable and economically positive infrastructure in significant size in the coming years. Yet uneconomical and pet projects distract,” BLSA points out. The second issue is that the private sector has the capacity to rapidly solve the current and growing future energy crisis. The private sector can finance and deliver the projects rapidly and on budget for their own use embedded in their operations, or into a smart future-facing grid managed by an Independent Transmission System Market Operator either to be bought by specific buyers or for general use. BLSA notes that government simply needs to stand out of the way, change its mindset and make some small amendments to regulations allowing others to solve the problem. Government can then be free to direct a pro-jobs and pro-local-content industrialisation that helps effectively manage a just energy transition. BLSA continues that the third area is the need for business to have the freedom to find the right technical mix of skills in their businesses to make the maximum impact that will allow us to hire the largest ...

South Africa’s move to Alert Level 1 in the Covid-19-induced lockdown is “the right one”, as this means that more of the economy can function, and “more people can get back to work”, says Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA) CEO Busi Mavuso. In her weekly newsletter on September 21, Mavuso comments that reopening the borders in time for the peak tourism season will help “the decimated hotels and leisure industry” to start to recover, marking the first step in South Africa’s recovery process. She, on behalf of the BLSA, also urges authorities to provide travellers with full clarity on the requirements for them to visit the country. “As we learnt with the debacle over children’s birth certificates, hassle and confusion quickly render South Africa uncompetitive in the global tourism marketplace,” Mavuso laments. She also applauds President Cyril Ramaphosa’s move to return all public servants to work to ensure all areas of government resume full operation, a critical move as the State’s services are essential for the economy to function, including the issuance of licences, registrations and so on. However, in referring to “what still must be done”, Mavuso highlights the recovery plan, saying it “is not enough to simply remove the constraints of lockdown and expect the economy to go back to normal”. “It has been dealt a massive shock, the largest most of us have seen in our lifetimes. Many jobs have been lost in the six months since the lockdown began. They will not magically reappear,” she states, though she comments that the support from government to shield people from the worst of the economic impact, particularly through the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) support package and social grant top-ups. Considering that this support can only ever be temporary, Mavuso says the only way to get jobs back is through reforms that would allow the economy to grow and to find new ways to work in the post-pandemic world. Social partners have recently agreed on a economic recovery action plan, which was submitted to the President and Cabinet. Approval is expected soon. “While all such documents are the result of compromise in some respects, it was striking how much we, as business, could agree with our other social partners. We know, for example, that real structural reform must be done. Issues like energy security and increased radio spectrum availability will help the economy,” she comments. These and several other issues were agreed on and Mavuso believes that what was agreed on will considerably advance South Africa’s economic potential. However, she notes that the challenge now is for government to move with urgency. “I hope we will, at long last, get to something that can really change our outlook. For years, the average South African became poorer as [gross domestic product] growth has lagged population growth. The Covid-19 crisis has dramatically worsened that trajectory. We needed reform before the crisis; now we need it more urgently than ever,” she stresses.

Business leadership South Africa has dismissed claims by Viceroy Research that a damning report by Intellidex into short-selling in South Africa, was sponsored by a third party. Short selling is defined as the sale of an asset in the belief that the asset's price will decline. This enables it to be bought back at a lower price to make a profit. Viceroy has over the past year published negative reports on prominent South African companies, including Steinhoff and Capitec bank. BLSA CEO, Bonang Mohale says this is not an anti-short selling research project.

McKinsey gambled by apologising to South Africa for its role in the developing State Capture scandal. But from the mood of 165 people in the GIBS auditorium, it lost. New global managing partner Kevin Sneader is dealing with what rugby players call a hospital pass. To his credit, he stepped into a fire avoided by other global firms involved in South African State Capture like KPMG, SAP, Hogan Lovells, HSBC and a Chinese locomotive manufacturer. After witnessing the roasting McKinsey received today, you have to wonder whether CEOs of other multinationals have the bottle to follow Sneader onto this kind of public platform. Or, indeed, whether McKinsey itself will continue on the current course of owning up, profusely apologising, but still taking the hits. Perhaps now that it has repaid Eskom, the consulting firm will start to reconsider whether it is worth remaining involved in a South Africa that's quite obviously not in a forgiving mood.

Contrary to popular belief, SA Corporates do not hold as much cash as has speculated by media. This is according to a research done by Intellidex which was commissioned by Business Leadership SA. We speak to Mr Bonang Mohale, CEO of BLSA about this report. Significant growth in the nominal cash levels of the largest non-financial JSE-listed firms over the last 10 years does not point to a corporate investment strike, new research argues. The findings come in the wake of reports that corporate South Africa is hoarding cash – a concept often tied to the idea of an “investment strike” – following a period of meaningful political and economic turbulence. An independent study conducted by Intellidex on behalf of Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA) shows that although the total cash held by 85 mining and industrial companies listed on the JSE has increased by 17.4% per year to R765 billion over the past decade, the fluctuation in cash as a percentage of total assets has been fairly n --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
