Swish launched less than a year ago with a simple promise: hot food in 10 minutes. It's already raised 16 million dollars, with another 30 to 35 million reportedly on the way. But the giants who tried this before — Zomato, Zepto, Swiggy — have all stumbled, scaled back, or shut down. The problem isn't the idea. It's the math. Small order sizes, a lack of dedicated riders and razor-thin margins. Swish and its investors thinks it has an edge the others didn't. But can a one-year-old startup crack what India's biggest food delivery companies couldn't?Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Crude oil prices have jumped above $100 as the US and Israel intensify military operations in Iran, effectively halting traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. While President Trump touts military successes, he faces a growing "philosophical break" with a MAGA base wary of new "forever wars". Oracle and OpenAI have scrapped plans for a flagship AI data center expansion in Texas as financing negotiations stalled. Tensions rise as Colonel Chris Wyatt argues President Trump's "3D chess" is isolating the ANC by removing its international allies. Meanwhile, back home, MP Juliet Basson details a "hostile" oversight visit to Normandien Farms that saw a factory shuttered over a dust mask dispute.

n the next hour of the Civic Media Spotlight, we feature Daybreak with Brian and Jamie. They talk with Professor Howard Schweber, who joins the show to discuss the legality of the attacks against Iran. He explains that, despite major backlash, what Donald Trump is doing by using the military against Iran falls within existing legal authority. Schweber breaks it down line by line through constitutional law and also looks at the much murkier framework of international law. Finally, we hear from Rational Revolution with Mark Becker. Mark talks with Madeline Summerville, a correspondent for Scripps News' Morning Rush, who has been covering the Trump jury trials.

South Africans are facing an impending and massive R8-a-litre fuel price shock when prices are adjusted next month. This spike is a direct consequence of the prolonged war in Iran, which has driven the Rand cost of oil up by 40%, jumping from R954 to R1,328 a barrel. The higher oil price - now above $80 a barrel from below $60 a week ago - is significantly impacting global inflation expectations, triggering nervous trading on Wall Street overnight. Also in Today's Daybreak: Global and local markets are under pressure, with the JSE down 0.75%, mainly due to a 2.5% fall in resource stocks. The Rand opened at R16.60 against the US dollar. Gold and Bitcoin remain steady at $5,150 and $71,250, respectively. SA's Geopolitical Tightrope: ANC Top Seven member Nomvula Mokonyane visited the Iranian Embassy in Pretoria to sign a condolence book for the assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Professor Edward Minnie discusses how this brings South Africa's delicate position on the war into sharp focus. Iranian Succession & Trump: Donald Trump is insisting on being involved in the selection of the new Iranian leader and strongly opposes a "North Korean style" succession by the Ayatollah's son. However, the FT's Tehran correspondent reveals that Mojtaba Khamenei has already emerged as the leading candidate in highly confidential initial voting. Investment Strategy Insights: Piet Viljoen discusses his worldwide flexible 'Cockroach' fund. He shares his protective strategy of holding a high exposure to previously inexpensive energy assets to guard against unpredictable global events. He also unpacks Warren Buffett's approach to geopolitics and explains his allocation to cryptocurrency.

Thursday of the Second Week of Lent Saint of the Day: St. Philip of Jesus, 1572-1597; born in Mexico City, he entered the Franciscans at Puebla but then departed the order in 1589 to journey to the Philippines as a trader; in 1590, he repented and returned to the Franciscan fold; his superiors commanded him to sail back to Mexico to be ordained a priest and, while on the way, his ship was caught in a storm and driven into the waters of Japan; landing in 1596, he was soon arrested and, with St. Peter Baptist, was put to death by crucifixion at Nagasaki in 1597 Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 3/5/26 Gospel: Luke 16:19-31

Deepinder Goyal, the founder of Zomato, has a new startup. It's called Temple — a wearable that tracks blood flow in your brain. His theory is that improving that flow could slow down aging.

Welcome to BizNews Daybreak with Alec Hogg—your essential morning update for Thursday, 5 March 2026. In today's episode, we bring you the sharp, actionable news you need to stay ahead of the curve. Wall Street experienced a major rebound last night, driven largely by tech giants such as Palantir, Tesla, and Amazon. Meanwhile, Bitcoin continues its massive rally, surging over 7% to $72,500—a spike reportedly fueled by Iranian citizens utilising the cryptocurrency as a safe haven amidst the escalating war. Also in today's episode: Global Conflict: The U.S. Senate has voted down a resolution to halt President Trump's military campaign against Iran. We also share insights from Antony Blinken on how this sustained conflict could wear down America's munitions stockpiles. A System in Crisis: Action Society unveils its first Criminal Justice Trust Indicator, revealing a dismal reality: a staggering 96% of South Africans no longer trust the country's criminal justice system.

It has been a wild 24 hours for the markets. In today's BizNews Daybreak, host Alec Hogg breaks down the Rand's sudden plunge from R16.08 to 16.73 against the dollar and its partial recovery following Donald Trump's strike on Iran. We cover the geopolitical fallout, including Trump's pledge to escort oil tankers in the Gulf (which helped markets recover from their worst levels), his sudden trade clash with Spain, and the anxiety gripping neighbouring Arab states. Closer to home, we look into a deeply alarming incident in KwaZulu-Natal, where an armed mob of 50 people — including members of parliament and assault rifle-toting police — consciously trespassed and invaded the premises of Newcastle's largest employer, the supplier of national mineral water brand Thirsti and major commercial cattle farm. Finally, Wall Street veteran John Rogers shares his perspective on market concentration and why he expects a shift away from mega-cap tech stocks.

In late January, a plane crash in Maharashtra killed the state's deputy chief minister, Ajit Pawar. It also exposed something few had been paying attention to: India's booming private charter industry, where demand is surging, corners are being cut, and the regulator is struggling to keep pace. There are now over 430 non-scheduled aircraft in the country. The top operator alone has 17 planes and 70-plus pilots. But between periodic audits, years-long crash investigations, and operators who'd rather fly with a broken light than lose a booking — the cycle of crash, probe, and forget has a way of repeating itself.Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.
