In today's BizNews Breifing: highlights from three keynote speakers at BNIC#2. Prince Mashele says South Africans need to unite across racial boundaries to rescue the country; Hersov declares the nation "uninvestable" under the rule of the ANC; and Dawie Roodt says the digital economy is shifting power away from the state - including in South Africa. Meanwhile, Cell C's dramatic turnaround puts a JSE relisting on the cards, Donald Trump's attack on Tylenol wipes billions off a pharma giant, and Nvidia pours $100bn into ChatGPT's parent company, raising the stakes in the AI arms race.

Die rand het dié week nuwe hoogtepunte teenoor die Amerikaanse dollar bereik, danksy toenemende verwagtinge van rentekoersverlaging in die VSA. Dit het beleggers laat stroom na ontluikende mark-effekte, wat die plaaslike geldeenheid verder versterk het. Die rand, en daarmee saam die Namibiese dollar, verhandel tans teen 17,38 teenoor die Amerikaanse dollar, wat die sterkste vlak in geruime tyd is. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met die ekonoom Dawie Roodt gesels, wat voorspel dat die rand vir die afsienbare toekoms op hierdie koers sal bly.

In a brisk, plain-spoken BNIC#2 Q&A, economist Dawie Roodt argues that South Africa's future prosperity won't be engineered by bureaucracy but built outside it—through skills, private capital, and technology that decouples work from place. He frames Bitcoin as an idea (money as a social construct), pours cold water on gold's fundamentals despite recent gains, and pegs the Rand's fair value near 17 on purchasing-power parity—stronger absent political shocks. With SOEs effectively "privatised by default," he backs full concessioning of Eskom and Transnet, urges a shift from credentials to skills, and warns high debt leaves markets vulnerable to external triggers. The ultimate safeguard, he says, is South Africa's democracy—use it to vote out decay and protect the institutions that remain. This BizNews production is brought to you by Brenthurst Wealth.

At BNIC#2 in Hermanus, economist Dawie Roodt delivered a no-holds-barred analysis of South Africa's economy, warning of a looming financial crisis driven by unsustainable debt, state destruction of capital, and ANC misrule. Drawing on global trends, the future of money, and the collapse of manufactured goods prices, Roodt argued that only growth can save South Africa - and growth requires protecting property rights, embracing free trade, and maintaining sound money. His blunt conclusion: “The only way to fix South Africa is to get rid of the ANC.” This BizNews production is brought to you by Brenthurst Wealth. Building wealth and protecting legacies since 2004.

Opul en sy vennote het Sondag aangekondig dat hulle olieproduksie vanaf Oktober sal verhoog, hoewel teen 'n stadiger tempo as in onlangse maande. Die stap, grootliks gedryf deur Saoedi-Arabië se pogings om markaandeel terug te wen, dui op 'n voortsetting van produksieverhogings wat in April begin het. Die tydsberekening van hierdie jongste besluit het egter wenkbroue laat lig, aangesien dit kom ten spyte van groeiende kommer oor 'n potensiële olie-oorskot gedurende die komende wintermaande in die Noordelike Halfrond. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met ekonoom Dawie Roodt gesels.

Staar Suid-Afrika finansiële isolasie in die gesig? Te midde van toenemende spanning oor die land se vermeende verbintenis met Rusland, neem kommer toe dat Amerikaanse sanksies daartoe kan lei dat Suid-Afrika afgesny word van SWIFT, die globale stelsel wat internasionale betalings beveilig en versnel. Maar ekonoom Dawie Roodt dring aan op kalmte en sê enige sanksies sal waarskynlik spesifieke banke of individue teiken, nie die hele finansiële stelsel nie. Hy het met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gesels.

The Constitutional Court is hearing the third day of arguments in the Competition Commission's case against leading banks on alleged manipulation of foreign exchange rates. The commission is trying to prove that the 28 banks colluded, pointing to traders of those banks who allegedly used a Bloomberg chatroom to coordinate and fix prices involving the rand exchange. The court will sit until Friday listening to submissions in the decades-long case that has seen two banks settle their cases by admitting liability and paying a penalty. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Economist, Dawie Roodt...

South Africa's economic chickens are coming home to roost. Economist Dawie Roodt warns that Black Economic Empowerment has enriched a politically connected elite while leaving the majority trapped in poverty. He says powerful trade unions are pricing workers out of jobs and strangling productivity, while the state is failing in its most basic duty to keep citizens safe. For Roodt, the penny is finally dropping - South Africans are waking up to the link between bad policy, job losses, and a shrinking economy.

Economist Dawie Roodt warns that looming US tariffs on South African exports are politically driven and could significantly damage the country's fragile economy. In a BizNews interview, he criticises government inaction, highlights geopolitical risks, and calls for urgent reform.

Die Bank van Namibië gaan tot 3 persent van sy buitelandse valutareserwes in plaaslik-ontginde goud hou, as deel van 'n nuwe diversifikasiereël. Volgens die bank se woordvoerder, Kazembire Zemburuka, word goud nie gebruik om die geldeenheid te steun nie, soos wat in Zimbabwe gedoen word. In Maart het Namibië se buitelandse reserwes tot 59,7 miljard Namibiese dollar gedaal, met invoerdekking van 3,9 maande. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonoom Dawie Roodt gepraat wat sy mening hieroor gee.

One of South Africa's top economists, Efficient Group's Dawie Roodt, tears into what he believes is the sheer economic idiocy expressed by South African president Cyril Ramaphosa in Parliament yesterday. He says the billionaire ANC leader's redoubling of an approach which has boosted his own bank account but made South Africa the world's worst performing economy with the highest unemployment will accelerate the slide. Roodt spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

Reaksie word ontvang op die nuus dat Namibië en Botswana die moontlikheid gaan ondersoek om ‘n gesamentlike olieraffinadery te bou wat nie net aan die brandstofbehoeftes van die twee lande voldoen nie, maar ook van die streek.

Chief economist of The Efficient Group Dawie Roodt provides context on the drama South Africans have experienced in the past two months over the on-off Budget. Bottom line: the naked emperor of idiotic economic policies are now exposed to all. There's an obvious solution - but Roodt doubts the ANC would choose it as this requires putting the nation ahead of the party. He spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.

Economist Dawie Roodt discusses South Africa's worsening fiscal crisis, emphasising the country's unsustainable debt levels, which now hover around 95% of GDP. He explains the ANC's failure to cut spending and its reliance on tax hikes, particularly a VAT increase, as the only way to generate revenue. Roodt warns that this approach risks deepening inequality and triggering social unrest. He also highlights South Africa's vulnerability to external financial pressures, particularly a potential bond market crisis. Roodt urges urgent fiscal reform and strong political leadership to avoid a catastrophic economic collapse and safeguard the country's future.

In this episode of the BizNews Briefing we look at two sides of the collapsing Government of National Unity - ActionSA's Athol Trollip on why his party threw the ANC Budget a lifeline and economist Dawie Roodt explains why the DA must hold firm against the proposed VAT increase.

Ten spyte van al die debatte oor Suid-Afrika se gespanne verhouding met die VSA, het die Suid-Afrikaanse rand, en dus Namibiese dollar, Dinsdag sy beste vlak teenoor die dollar sedert middel Desember bereik. In Februarie het die geldeenheid vlugtig tot bo 19 teen die Amerikaanse geldeenheid gestyg nadat die Amerikaanse president Donald Trump aangekondig het dat sy land gaan ophou om hulp aan Suid-Afrika te verleen oor sy grondonteieningsbeleid. Die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonoom Dawie Roodt sê dis nie eintlik iets om te vier nie.

South Africa's strained relationship with the United States has been dealt a second blow with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's decision to boycott the G20 Summit in Johannesburg. In this interview with economist Dawie Roodt, he warns: “I think it's pretty much a given that we will not be part of AGOA that much longer - unless we really start taking extraordinary measures to get on the good side of Donald Trump. And if the relations deteriorate even further, I think there's a possibility that it could be some further actions against South Africa, something like levies or import duties. And we have to understand that if we don't polish this guy's ego for one, many other things that we need to do as well….If we don't do that, we're going to pay a very dear price. And South Africa simply cannot afford that.” Roodt also gives his take on Elon Musk's role in the White House. And in his latest economic forecast, Roodt says: “We are in trouble. And it's not only Donald Trump that causes all of that. A lot of that is homemade because of the wrong policies that we've been following locally for, in fact, many decades.”

In today's BizNews Briefing, Bronwyn Nielsen covers President Trump's remarks on Elon Musk's access to sensitive documents and explores the implications with Magda Wierzycka, CEO of Signia Limited.
