Seize the day with the freshest news you can use to help you conquer another active business day - from the team at BizNews and our global partners. This episode features the latest from the US, where the Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the third successive FOMC meeting, buoying the stock market - but that won't help the mood of Oracle and Uber shareholders, both stocks falling overnight. Locally, it's all gloom in the Mr Price boardroom after the market smashed the share price on the news of the retailer's R10bn European acquisition. More on Eskom's new template for dealing with industry and the Aussie social media ban for under 16s.

Retail giant Mr Price tanks 13% after its surprise Germany deal. Eskom's showdown with Glencore, Merafe and smelters raises fresh questions despite government cheerleading. The Bank for International Settlements warns gold may be entering bubble territory, and Allan Gray shakes up the market with new global ETFs on the JSE. Alec Hogg unpacks it all with Piet Viljoen and Peter Major, including why markets don't buy the hype.

Eskom has given ferrochrome smelters a three-month stay of execution, but Peter Major warns that the real battle is only beginning. In this explosive MiningWeb Weekly, Major breaks down why SA industry is collapsing under electricity costs, what China is doing right, and why government must choose competitiveness over ideology if it wants mining, PGMs and beneficiation to survive. He also sounds a serious alarm on the gold price bubble — and explains why platinum still makes more long-term sense for investors.

The Congress of South African Trade Unions marks its 40th anniversary with a celebratory rally taking place at Dobsonville Stadium. COSATU, founded at the height of apartheid, grew into a powerful voice for workers, driving national strikes, shaping labour policy, and championing key gains such as the minimum wage, gender equality, HIV treatment access, and major economic interventions, including support for Eskom and job-saving efforts. The union's milestone comes as the Tripartite Alliance faces increasing internal strife. The SACP has signalled plans to contest the 2026 local government elections independently, accusing the ANC of repeatedly failing to honour commitments to reconfigure the alliance. To look at the relevance and impact of trade unions in post-democratic South Africa, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Mbhazima Shilowa, former premier of Gauteng and former general secretary of Cosatu

Les dirigeants des plus grandes économies du monde se retrouvent à partir de samedi 22 novembre à Johannesburg pour un sommet du G20, le premier de l'histoire sur le continent africain. Pretoria entend peser pour obtenir des engagements sur l'allègement de la dette des pays en développement et sur la lutte contre les inégalités, à l'heure où son économie enregistre quelques succès. Les G20 arrive au meilleur des moments pour l'Afrique du Sud. Depuis le mois dernier, le pays n'est plus considéré à risque en matière de blanchiment d'argent. Le Gafi (Groupe d'action financière) l'organisme international de lutte contre ces pratiques a sorti Pretoria de sa fameuse liste « grise » au nom de ses réformes pour plus de transparence.  Une bonne nouvelle n'arrivant jamais seule, vendredi 14 novembre, c'est l'une des trois grandes agences de notation S&P qui a relevé d'un cran la note du pays. Une première en 20 ans. Concrètement la note de crédit à long terme — sorte de note de confiance" sur la qualité de la dette du pays — est passée de "BB-" à "B.B". Pour donner une idée, c'est un peu comme si l'Afrique du Sud passait de 8 à 9/20. Certes, ce n'est pas encore la moyenne, mais c'est un signal fort, un gage de confiance pour les investisseurs. Et cela devrait permettre à Pretoria des taux d'intérêts moins élevés et donc d'emprunter moins cher sur les marchés.  Redresser les finances publiques  La confiance des investisseurs s'explique en partie par les efforts de la coalition au pouvoir pour redresser les finances publiques. Non seulement l'Afrique du Sud collecte plus d'argent via l'impôt, mais elle le collecte aussi mieux. Le budget présenté la dernière semaine prévoit une hausse des recettes. Autre point positif : le plan de libéralisation de l'économie lancé par le président Cyril Ramaphosa qui vise encourager les partenariats publics/privés dans des secteurs clés: les trains, les ports ou encore l'énergie. L'agence de notation S&P cite une réussite. Le cas de la compagnie d'électricité publique Eskom qui a enregistré le mois dernier son premier bénéfice net en huit ans. Les coupures de courant sont moins fréquentes dans le pays, ce qui pénalise moins les entreprises et favorise la croissance.  Pays le plus inégalitaire au monde Après une décennie de croissance atone, les prévisions ont été revues à la hausse. Le PIB pourrait progresser de près de 2% en moyenne sur les trois prochaines années (1,8% en moyenne sur les trois prochaines années selon les prévisions du Trésor) Et l'inflation, reste maitrisée. La banque centrale table sur une hausse des prix de 3% en moyenne, contre à 3% et 6% auparavant.  Pourtant, tout n'est pas rose. Le principal défi de Pretoria reste son taux de chômage qui dépasse les 30% Et c'est encore pire chez les jeunes : un sur deux est sans travail. L'Afrique du Sud ne créé pas assez d'emplois par rapport à sa population, et les inégalités se creusent. Plus de 30 ans après la fin de l'apartheid, le pays peine à gommer les disparités raciales. D'après la Banque mondiale, l'Afrique du Sud reste le pays le plus inégalitaire au monde.  À lire aussiAfrique du Sud: à Soweto, la ruée vers l'or continue de toucher les populations pauvres plus de 100 ans plus tard

Tonight's BizNews Briefing spotlights South Africa's rising strategic importance, with the EU naming the country its first stop in a new critical minerals supply push. Locally, Investec's latest results show SA delivering stronger returns than the UK, while an urgent court showdown looms as the JSE challenges allegedly fake emails. Also in focus: a 70% municipal failure rate in Eskom's debt relief scheme, and Nvidia's record-smashing results as the tech giant reaches a valuation 12 times SA's GDP.

Joining Amy Maciver is Matthew Cruise, energy analyst at IMPOWER, to unpack the implications of these looming electricity price hikes and what consumers should expect. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists.

Eskom sê dieseluitgawes vir die jaar tot dusver bly deurgaans onder die begroting. Woordvoerder, Daphne Mokwena, sê dieseluitgawes vir die afgelope week was slegs 4,8 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand, vergeleke met 287,64 miljoen rand gedurende dieselfde tydperk verlede jaar. Dit onderstreep die finansiële en operasionele voordele van Eskom se ommekeer. Sy sê die diesel is slegs gebruik vir omgewingskorrelasietoetse op Eenheid 12 by Ankerlig-kragstasie om aan statutêre vereistes te voldoen:

Die Wes-Kaapse premier maak uiteindelik 'n verslag bekend oor die beweerde samewerking tussen die polisie en bendes. Hoe haalbaar is die voorstel dat ESKOM sukkelende munisipaliteite se kragverskaffing oorneem? Vandag, op Wêreld Diabetesdag, praat ons met 'n kenner oor die vroeë gevaartekens.

Cosatu sê hy is bekommerd oor die mediumtermynbegroting wat nie dapper genoeg is om sigbare groei in die ekonomie te bring nie. Die minister van Finansies Enoch Godongwana was Woensdag optimisties in sy toespraak en het gesê staatsinkomste sal na verwagting vanjaar op 'n beter syfer as die verwagte 19,7 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand te staan kom. Die woordvoerder van Cosatu, Matthew Parks, sê hulle waardeer die ommekeer in verskeie belangrike afdelings van die staat, veral by Eskom, Transnet, metro rail en die Suid-Afrikaanse Inkomstediens:

Die Stad Kaapstad se nuwe gas-na-energie-aanleg sal genoeg elektrisiteit opwek vir 4 300 huishoudings deur sy afvalgas na kragopwekking-projek by die Coastal Park Vullisterrein. Die metro het reeds 93-miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand aan die projek bestee en sal die volgende drie jaar nog 82-miljoen-rand belê vir verdere infrastruktuur by ander vullisterreine. Die burgemeester Geordin Hill-Lewis sê die inisiatief sal in die toekoms vir homself betaal met verminderde elektrisiteit-aankope van Eskom en die verkoop van koolstofkrediete:

From hopes of turning South Africa into “Africa's Switzerland” to fears over China's mega mine in Guinea, mining veteran Peter Major joins Alec Hogg for a fiery Miningweb Weekly. They unpack how the Reserve Bank's bold 3% inflation target could reshape mining, why Eskom and Transnet remain the industry's biggest shackles, and how China's iron ore play may threaten Kumba and South Africa's competitiveness. Major doesn't hold back — calling out bad policy, corruption, and missed opportunities holding the sector hostage.

BizNews founder Alec Hogg unpacks the Medium-Term Budget's surprisingly upbeat message. With the Government of National Unity presenting a unified front, Treasury reported a R20 billion revenue overrun, a narrowing deficit, and no need for a VAT increase. SARS' new AI-driven systems are delivering results, Eskom's reliability is improving, and even Transnet is showing early signs of recovery — proof that South Africa's finances may finally be turning the corner.

AfriForum sê 'n nuwe verslag deur die Departement van Samewerkende Regering en Tradisionele Sake bevestig wydverspreide ineenstorting van munisipale regering regoor die land. Die prestasie-oorsig van 2023 tot 2024 toon dat baie munisipaliteite die huidige finansiële jaar betree het met onbefondsde begrotings, stygende skuld aan Eskom en waterrade, en gebrekkige infrastruktuur. Lambert de Klerk van AfriForum sê inwoners het te kampe met onbetroubare watervoorsiening, rioolstortings en verbrokkelende paaie namate politieke kaping en wanbestuur verdiep.

Eskom is bekommerd oor voortgesette waninligting oor sy stelselprestasie en dieselverbruik. Hy herhaal dat hy elke Vrydag deursigtige, datagebaseerde inligting oor sy bedrywighede gee. Die kragverskaffer word gedwing om miljarde Suid-Afrikaanse rand se diesel te gebruik omdat sy opwekkingsvloot nie betroubaar genoeg is om voldoende krag op te wek nie. Eskom se woordvoerder, Daphne Mokwena, sê diesel word steeds strategies gebruik, met oopsiklus-gasturbines wat ʼn integrale deel van die opwekkingsvloot uitmaak:

South Africa is taking a huge bet on a new fuel source for electricity — liquid natural gas (LNG). Electricity Minister Kghosientsho Ramokgopa has said we will target using LNG for 6 00MW of powerby 2030 but there almost no infrastructure to import it and no plant to make electricity from it. The government will gazette its 2025 Integrated Resource Plan in a matter of days. In this edition of Podcasts from the Edge Peter Bruce talks to Jaco Human, CEP of the Gas Users Association of Southern Africa, who currently use gas for industrial heating but who face a critical deadline — June 2030 when the current monopoly supplier, Sasol, will cut of supplies, the so-called “gas cliff". The industrial gas users employ close to 100 000 people. Can they and the State build import terminals and pipelines land long-term gas supply contracts in time? Only the State is big enough to serve as an anchor importer for long-term contracts. "What simply has to happen in order to mitigate the gas cliff? That, that is priority number one,” says Human. "What we're saying to the state is (that)e have now run out of time. We simply have to talk about demand stacking (orders into the future), and that simply means the sequencing and, and addition of gas demand through Eskom, through industry and through private power generation. If we don't get that right, we will sit with a market failure. Right now we see that the government is about to issue or get moving on a gas master plan very shortly, or at least publish something. We're not sure ... that the gas cliff is sufficiently addressed in that.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Federasie van Vakbonde het Eskom se aankondiging sterk veroordeel om teen Maart 2026 'n halfmiljoen slimmeters te installeer, ten spyte daarvan dat hulle slegs 278 000 in voorraad het. Saftu se woordvoerder, Asive Dyani, sê dié Eskom-plan is teen-armoede, en 'n inkomstegedrewe obsessiewe beleid wat invordering bo diens, straf bo solidariteit en winste bo mense plaas:

Stephen Grootes speaks to Prof Samson Mamphweli, Head of SANEDI’s Energy Secretariat, Energy Expert at IMPOWER Matthew Cruise about AfriForum securing a court order halting Eskom’s proposed R54bn tariff hike. The agreement between Eskom and NERSA, intended to correct a data error, has been paused pending a judge’s review, preventing further sharp increases in electricity prices over the next three years.
