The rand is strong - and quite possibly as strong as it is likely to be for some time - which makes it a great time to diversify investments outside South Africa. Andre Cilliers, currency strategist at TreasuryONE, says you may be disappointed if you wait for further rand strength. Even if you took funds offshore at R16 and R17 to the US dollar, keep moving money outside South Africa so that you lower the average cost.

Auditors in South Africa and elsewhere are under the spotlight for failing to expose corporate frauds. South African multinational Steinhoff teetered on the brink of collapse after German authorities revealed they were investigating irregularities in late 2017 - yet well-established elaborate schemes underpinned the financial jiggery-pokery. And, SA taxpayers have been wondering where the auditors were in the state capture years under former president Jacob Zuma. Earlier this year, finance minister Tito Mboweni dissolved the country's scandal-wracked audit body watchdog, Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors - which was run by audit professionals who failed to notice irregularities under their noses. Earlier this week, Deloitte Africa CEO Lwazi Bam hosted a fireside chat with Sir Donald Brydon, author of the Brydon Report, which is influential in debate on audit reforms globally. Sir Donald Brydon was at pains to note that it is not only up to auditors to spot fraud: shareholders, directors and regulators should take more responsibility. Chairman of the SA Institute of Chartered Accountants and Deloitte CEO Lwazi Bam spoke to Jackie Cameron, for BizNews, about the Brydon report and what it might mean for detecting fraud at listed companies in future.

In this week's Currency Focus podcast, valuable pointers on where the rand is heading in relation to major currencies: Investors want higher interest rates but they aren't coming - the US government has made that clear, but many aren't listening, says South African currency expert Andre Cilliers of TreasuryONE.

In this in-depth interview, Cilliers shares his reading of global and domestic data and currents in the markets with BizNews editor-at-large Jackie Cameron.

A new electricity scandal has erupted in South Africa. Only two in every 10 poor households that qualify for free basic electricity have received it for at least the past five years, with municipalities diverting at least R40bn earmarked for indigents. This has been highlighted by Chris Yelland, one of South Africa's top energy analysts. He speaks to Jackie Cameron about how it is very difficult and often impossible for poor people to register for free basic services and raises the questions about how it is possible that the authorities - from the National Treasury to municipal officials - have not raised the alarm about this situation.

Thanks to the public’s embrace of smart speakers, intelligent car displays and voice-responsive phones – along with the rise of voice intelligence in call centres – marketers say they are on the verge of being able to use AI-assisted vocal analysis technology to achieve unprecedented insights into shoppers’ identities and inclinations, says world authority on media systems and industries, Professor Joseph Turow of the University of Pennsylvania. He sets out the implications of his in-depth research which finds that not only can people be profiled by their speech patterns, but they can also be assessed by the sound of their voices. Alexa, Siri and other voice-activated technologies could be used to spy on you for advertisers and even governments. According to some researchers, your voice is unique and can reveal feelings, personalities and even physical characteristics. He spoke to Jackie Cameron, for BizNews, about why we should be worried about the latest advances amid a podcasting revolution - and think twice about joining groups like Clubhouse.
