Sadza In The Morning — The sadza is here! This week is a bit different, we are happy. The warriors did a thing for us, for the whole nation. We deserved a win and they gave us that. Scarfmore Tongombeya continued blogging his way through our taxes and Mthuli Ncube was unusually quiet. He's probably cooking up some taxe. We also talk about Gogo vaye, ZANU shenanigans, New Music, and all that good stuff.

In today’s global business headlines… In a year when President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on a range of imports to cut his country’s trade imbalance, the United States posted its largest deficit since 2008. Pressure on the US’s big tech giants rose a notch yesterday as the French government introduced a 3% tax on online advertising and digital marketplace revenues generated in the country. Zimbabwean finance minister Mthuli Ncube, who is on an investment roadshow in the US, yesterday said that the country has scrapped the 51% local ownership rule on platinum mines. In South African news, the day of reckoning drew a little closer yesterday for former Steinhoff CEO Markus Jooste and his fellow directors.

While Africa’s workforce expands, the lack of modern and efficient infrastructure is inhibiting economic growth. The prospect of building power plants and transportation networks is daunting for many countries with limited resources, but in this podcast, former Chief Economist of the African Development Bank, Mthuli Ncube, says reducing risks for private sector investors could help Africa build the infrastructure it so desperately needs.  Contributors: Mthuli Ncube, Managing Director of Quantum Global Research Lab, visiting professor at Oxford University, and co-editor of Infrastructure in Africa: Lessons for Future Development.

Sharp falls in commodity prices have dealt serious blows to the prospects of workers, communities, and businesses in large parts of Africa over the last few years. The World Bank said economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa slumped to its lowest level for more than two decades last year and earlier this month South Africa, the continent’s third largest economy, re-entered recession. The picture is not uniformly bleak – the outlook is much more positive in East Africa – but the continent’s largest economies are suffering. Can they turn things around and end their reliance on oil and mining? What hope is there for those seeking relief from poverty, and what jobs might they do in the future? Ed Butler is joined by a panel of guests: Kola Karim, CEO of Shoreline Group, a Nigerian energy and infrastructure company; professor Mthuli Ncube, head of Quantum Global Research Lab and former chief economist of the African Development Bank; and Lorenzo Fioramonti, professor of political economy at the University of Pretoria, in South Africa.

Keynote speaker Mthuli Ncube provides a short overview of his speech at the CSAE Conference 2016

For as long as there has been taxation, there has been a debate about who should pay and how much? Tax is supposed to make sure that everyone who can, puts something into the pot. But how does any taxation system ensure that everyone who is supposed to pay, actually does? We have an exclusive interview with the head of taxation at the OECD, Pascal Saint-Amans. He is author of a report, out later this month, which aims to outline best world-wide practise for countries and corporations. We also hear about the challenges facing Africa in collecting enough tax to sustain development there, with the former chief economist of the African Development Bank, Mthuli Ncube. And, former US government adviser and now head of the Manhattan Institute Diana Furchtgott-Roth makes the case for keeping taxation of any sort, to an absolute minimum. Presented by Ed Butler.

Most government policies have the potential to broaden equality and bring positive change to the lives of individuals and communities. However, even well-designed policies can have unintended negatives consequences on certain groups of the population. In an effort to improve the ability of countries to use evidence to assess the potential social and economic impacts of policy reforms, The World Bank has created a series of learning events to bring together policymakers, development practitioners, academics, members from civil society, and international organizations, to share their insights and lessons learned in their countries. The most recent of these Poverty and Social Impact Analysis or PSIA learning events was a collaborative effort between The Bank and one of Africa’s most highly regarded academic institutions, The University of Cape Town. About 20 African countries were represented at the workshop in Cape Town, South Africa, as well as thought leaders and policy makers from India. World Bank acting Chief Economist for the Africa Region, Punam Chuhan-Pole. “PSIA helps policy makers and helps stakeholders understand what would would be the appropriate policies for addressing issues.” One of the aims of the workshop is to prove to policy makers that more research may in fact pay off down the line, while also keeping the varied needs of constituents at the forefront of policy decisions. Dr. Shrikant Baldi is Additional Chief Secretary for finance & Planning in the Government of Himachal Pradesh in India. He says policy discussions usually happen after implementation, which leads to a waste of resources, if these interventions have not been successful. “Generally what happens is that a policy at the state level – you have some stakeholders that suggest something and then it is implemented, good or bad. If it has been implemented badly, then resources have gone. So if we have a concurrent PSIA study, that tells us what is going to be the impact, specially on deserving section, we can make a better policy based on evidence.” Oxford University Professor of Public Policy, Mthuli Ncube, says objectively measuring impacts allows for greater accountability through the policy making system. “The PSIA is very helpful in trying to get African policy makers and citizens to understand how policy can change things for the better. We are all worrying about where the poverty trends are headed for 2030 and the SDG’s are headed for 2030, and this Poverty and Social Impact Analysis really gives us insight into which policies will make the biggest positive impact on poverty reduction.
