Gerhard van Onselen (strateeg by Sakeliga) gesels met James Kemp oor die huidige gebeure in Sri Lanka. Dit volg op 'n onlangse gesprek by KragDag 2022 deur Russell Lamberti (ekonoom en uitvoerende direkteur by Sakeliga) oor die redes vir Sri Lanka se agteruitgang en huidige ekonomiese krisis. Tot dusver het pryse in Sri Lanka die hoogte ingeskiet en verskeie produkte soos brandstof is gerantsoeneer. Armoede en lyding word algemeen gesien. Lamberti wys op verskeie redes vir Sri Lanka se krisis, wat insluit oormatige buitelandse skuld, interne onstabiliteit en grootskaalse regeringskorrupsie, 'n sentrale bank wat ruim geld druk, en verregaande regulasies wat in die nadraai van Covid-19-inperkings op die spits gedryf is. Hierdie faktore word dieper bespreek. Daar is belangrike lesse vir Suid-Afrika te leer uit Sri Lanka se geval. Lamberti meen dit is veral noodsaaklik om 'n staatsbestande burgerlike sektor te verseker om wal te gooi teen roekelose regeringsoptrede soos dié in Sri Lanka.______________________ Gerhard van Onselen (strategist at Sakeliga) talks to James Kemp about the current events in Sri Lanka. This follows a recent talk at KragDag 2022 by Russell Lamberti (economist and executive director at Sakeliga) on the reasons for the deterioration and current economic crisis in Sri Lanka. Prices in Sri Lanka have gone through the roof and several products, including fuel, have been rationed. Poverty and suffering are to be seen everywhere. Lamberti gave several reasons for the crisis in Sri Lanka, including excessive foreign debt, internal instability and large-scale government corruption, a central bank that prints lots of money, and outrageous regulations that were carried to an extreme following the Covid-19 restrictions. These factors are discussed in greater detail. There are important lessons for South Africa to learn from the Sri Lanka case. Lamberti was of the opinion in particular that it is essential to ensure a state-proof civil sector so as to curb reckless government actions such as those seen in Sri Lanka.

What is the appropriate role for business to be playing in South Africa, and how can businesses flourish in an environment where the state is becoming increasingly hostile towards the private sector? In this special in-person edition of the Solutions With David Ansara podcast, I speak with Piet le Roux and Russell Lamberti of the business advocacy group, Sakeliga, about building an independent business community in South Africa. We start the conversation by examining why traditional business advocacy has failed to achieve a more conducive policy environment for private enterprise in South Africa. I suggest that the consensus-seeking model that has characterised the past four years should give way to a more 'transactional' relationship between business and government. "Asking government more nicely and more urgently to do things differently next time, or even right now, just doesn't work," says Piet. "It's not enough to simply present better policies for government to adopt. We need to come to a point where instead of lobbying for change, we negotiate for change," he notes. Piet warns that access to government creates the impression of influence, but it ultimately locks you into a subservient relationship with the government. Instead, Russell argues, the appropriate role of business in the context of a failing state is to balance power, and by doing so, help to achieve a more harmonious economy and society. We also discuss how the policy of Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) replaces the economic incentives of the market with the perverse incentives of politics. This amounts to a reverse form of 'state capture', i.e. capture by the state. "BEE is the capture of the commercial sphere by politicians," Piet notes. Russell speaks about South Africa's deteriorating energy security, and the risk this poses to the economy. He highlights the importance of decentralised approaches to energy production as an alternative to the state's monopoly. We conclude by discussing strategies for organisations to achieve true independence from a pernicious state. This requires businesses to be more firm in saying 'no' to harmful government interventions and working together to build alternative institutions to the state.

Of 300 000 public responses to proposed regulations, Department of Health officials read just 132 – and completely ignored the fact that 97% of the submissions were against them. The regulations propose indefinitely imposing mask-wearing; need to provide vaccination certificates for access into SA and large gatherings; and the capping of audiences in public facilities to 50% of capacity. In addition, now public emails by DDG Dr Nicholas Crisp confirm official disdain of the consulting cornerstone of the SA democratic process. In this interview with BizNews founder Alec Hogg, Sakeliga's Russell Lamberti and Tian Alberts unpack disclosures laid bare after the court forced the DOH to hand over 20GB of data files to its court opponent.

A forthright discussion on mandatory vaccines with the Sakeliga duo of CEO Piet le Roux and chief economist Russell Lamberti explaining why forcing jabs is wrong. Their argument is premised on the basis that a mandate is disproportionate to the risk and unjustified on the grounds that very few people get mortally ill from Covid-19 - and that SA already has extremely high natural immunity to the virus. They also argue that the ANC government's track record suggests the project will become a honey pot for the corrupt, while also putting the country onto a slippery slope towards greater state control and authoritarianism.

How do we build a sustainable social order in South Africa? In this episode of the Solutions With David Ansara podcast, I speak with Russell Lamberti, Chief Economist at Sakeliga, about cultural communities in South Africa. Russell and I analyse the causes and consequences of state failure in South Africa. How do we preserve liberty, safety and prosperity for South Africans when the state is failing to maintain its basic duties and obligations towards us as citizens? Russell advocates for high degrees of decentralisation, and a federal model of governance. The current unitary system is too centralized, and ineffective at managing the various conflicting needs of a heterogenous society, he says. We also unpack the idea of cultural communities in South Africa. How compatible are these concepts of group identity with an individual rights framework, I ask?

The Interview, Recorded on January 4, 2021In the fight against COVID-19, lockdowns have become a major policy tool used by governments around the world with a stated goal of limiting the spread of the virus and keeping hospitals from running out of capacity. Nick Hudson, CEO of Sana Partners, and Russell Lamberti, Founder of ETM Macro Advisors, are part of Pandemics Data and Analytics, or PANDA, a collective of leading scientists, actuaries, economists, data scientists, statisticians, medical professionals, lawyers, engineers and businesspeople working to challenge the mainstream narrative around lockdowns using scientific evidence that they argue shows that 1) lockdowns are not effective at their stated goals and 2) the secondary costs of lockdowns far outweigh the potential benefits. In this interview with Mike Green of Logica Capital Advisors, Hudson and Lamberti introduce viewers to their organization and make the case that the COVID-19 response does not square with any of the pre-COVID pandemic response protocols that were updated in late 2019, that the effects of lockdowns on children and other marginalized groups have not been properly considered, and that lockdowns could set a dangerous political precedent. As well, Green plays the role of devil's advocate and challenges both guests on the real problems of measurable excess mortality and dwindling hospital capacity that cannot be denied.

TechCentral — In this episode of the TechCentral podcast, Duncan McLeod speaks to Philip Haslam, one of the people behind ZimboCash, a company that is building an alternative national currency for the troubled Zimbabwean economy. Built on a blockchain, the idea behind the cryptocurrency is to help ordinary Zimbabweans escape the clutches of hyperinflation, which is once again menacing the country’s economy. Haslam, who has co-authored a book on the Zimbabwean economic meltdown with economist Russell Lamberti called When Money Destroys Nations, speaks about why and how Zimbabwe got itself into trouble and the recent developments that once again threaten the impoverished Southern African nation. How does ZimboCash work, how is the company working to ensure it become trusted and used by ordinary Zimbabweans, and what impact could it have on the country if it takes off as expected? It’s a fascinating discussion about concepts such as quantitative easing, hyperinflation, money printing, blockchain, crypto and the future of money. Don’t miss it!
