The government tax on spirits is expected to breach the R100 mark per 750ml bottle when Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana delivers his Budget Speech for 2026. As a result, the tax imposed will in many cases be the biggest component of the cost to the consumer, ranging between 55-65% of the retail selling price of mainstream spirits products.

South Africans looking to work or settle abroad, whether for a few years or permanently, are increasingly trapped in a bureaucratic maze created by the South African Revenue Service (SARS), the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) and National Treasury. In an interview with BizNews, immigration tax specialist William Louw of Sable International argues that these authorities operate with overlapping mandates and conflicting definitions of “residency”, leaving ordinary people confused and exposed. The result, he says, is damaging with expats severing all financial ties with South Africa, extract every cent and asset they can, and abandon any intention of returning with their skills or capital. According to Louw, the system even discriminates against South African ID holders living abroad, granting them fewer rights than foreign non‑residents, a contradiction that raises constitutional concerns. Far from protecting the economy, Louw contends, these policies accelerate capital flight, deter future investment and ultimately undermine South Africa's long‑term economic prospects.

In this episode of The Digital Executive, host Brian Thomas sits down with Ola Sars, Stockholm-based serial music tech entrepreneur, 2024 Billboard International Power Player, and founder and CEO of Soundtrack Technologies. Ola shares the core thesis that has guided his career for over two decades: the complete digital transformation of music production, distribution, and consumption. From co-founding Beats Music—later acquired by Apple and transformed into Apple Music—to building Soundtrack into the world's leading B2B music streaming platform, Ola explains why businesses require a fundamentally different music solution than consumers.The conversation explores the economics of music streaming, how value is distributed across artists, labels, and platforms, and why streaming is healthier than ever for the industry overall. Ola also discusses the future of music in physical spaces like retail, hospitality, and fitness, highlighting how AI-driven curation and personalization—not AI-generated music—will shape how brands use music to enhance customer experiences and drive commercial value.If you liked what you heard today, please leave us a review - Apple or Spotify.

À première vue, on pourrait croire à une référence à Jules César, à l'Empire romain ou à une volonté de donner un caractère solennel au plus grand prix du cinéma français. Mais la réalité est beaucoup plus artistique… et beaucoup plus contemporaine.Tout commence dans les années 1970. À cette époque, la France cherche à créer une cérémonie équivalente aux Oscars américains pour célébrer ses films, ses acteurs et ses techniciens. Le producteur Georges Cravenne, déjà à l'origine de la création des Victoires de la musique, imagine alors une grande fête annuelle du cinéma. Encore faut-il trouver un trophée emblématique, une sculpture reconnaissable au premier coup d'œil. Cravenne se tourne alors vers un ami : le sculpteur César Baldaccini, plus connu simplement sous le nom de César.César est l'une des figures majeures du Nouveau Réalisme. Il est célèbre pour ses “compressions” — ces blocs spectaculaires de voitures compressées — mais aussi pour ses “expansions” de résine et de métal. En 1975, Cravenne lui demande de créer un trophée original. L'artiste accepte : ce prix portera son nom et deviendra « le César ». Contrairement à une idée répandue, c'est bien l'artiste qui a donné son nom au trophée, et non le trophée qui lui rend hommage. Le César n'est donc pas une référence historique, mais un clin d'œil direct à l'un des plus grands sculpteurs français du XXᵉ siècle.Pour la première cérémonie des Césars, en 1976, César réalise une sculpture en bronze inspirée de ses œuvres compressées. Il s'agit d'un bloc irrégulier, presque abstrait, aux lignes plissées et chaotiques. Un trophée atypique, loin des silhouettes lisses et figuratives des Oscars. Mais c'est justement cette singularité qui en fait un symbole immédiatement identifiable.Au fil des années, la cérémonie prend de l'ampleur. Les Césars deviennent le rendez-vous majeur du cinéma français, diffusé en direct, suivi par des millions de téléspectateurs. Le trophée, lui, reste fidèle à l'esprit de César : massif, brut, presque brutalisé. Une œuvre qui symbolise la création, la matière et le geste artistique.En résumé, si les plus prestigieux trophées du cinéma français s'appellent les « Césars », c'est tout simplement parce qu'ils ont été créés par César Baldaccini, dont le style unique a façonné l'identité visuelle de cette récompense devenue une institution. Un hommage vivant au lien profond entre le cinéma et les arts plastiques. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Check out the coverage on our website. Time DelayOur neighbors in Greenland are changing their clock in order for people to squeeze more sunlight out of the day. This has woken up the discussion in Iceland from a sleep of some years. Should we move the clock, or not?SARS And RacismIceland's SARS have been doing their annual fundraising rounds of selling the so called “Neyðarkall” or “Emergency man”. This year the man of emergency brown of color, in memory of one Sigurður Kristofer, who tragically suffered a fatal accident last year, while training with SARS. This has sparked some negative discussions, or at least according to the father of one 19 year old SARS volunteer. Otherwise no report of people complaining about the color of the man of emergency have been reported, but this seems to have sparked enough outrage that the man of emergency has been selling like never before.Berm-in Out The Private Sector,Iceland's minister of finance, discussed the idea that perhaps the privately owned energy company HS Okra, who's Svartsengi powerplant has been saved fro lava by very expensive efforts of building berms, paid for by the State, should share in the costs. The CEO of HS Orka has found this suggestion to be “surprising”. Mexican standoff between Minister of Justice and Chief of PoliceWe reported on questionable and costly outsourcing of the Chief of the Icelandic police last week. What has ensued is a stare down, where Minister Of Justice is hoping the Chief of Police will resign.

Can a central bank simply announce an inflation target and get everyone to believe it? Our Global Economist Arunima Sinha looks at the cases of South Africa and Brazil to explain why it's a subject of decades-long debate. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Arunima Sinha: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Arunima Sinha, Global Economist at Morgan Stanley. Today I'm going to talk about how inflation targets of central banks matter for market participants and economic activity.It's Tuesday, August 12th at 10am in New York. Tariff driven inflation is at the center of financial market debates right now. The received wisdom is that a central bank should look through one-off increases in prices if – and it is an important if – inflation expectations are anchored low enough. Inflation targets, inflation expectations, and central bank credibility have been debated for decades. The Fed's much criticized view that COVID inflation would be transitory was based on the assumption that anchored inflation expectations would pull inflation down. The Fed is more cautious now after four years of above target inflation. Can a central bank simply announce an inflation target and get everyone to believe it? Far away from the U.S., the South Africa Reserve Bank, SARB, is providing a real time experiment. The SARB's inflation target was originally a range of 3 to 6 per cent, with an intention to shift to 2 to 4 percent over time. At its last meeting, the SARB announced that it was going to target the bottom end of the range, de facto shifting to a 3 percent target. A decision by the Ministry of Finance in the coming months is likely necessary to formalise the outcome, but the SARB has succeeded in pulling inflation down. It has established credibility, but we suspect that more work is needed to anchor inflation expectations firmly at 3 percent. Key to the SARS challenge, as the Fed's – the central bank cannot control all the drivers of inflation in the short run. For South Africa, fiscal targets and exchange rate movements are prime examples. The experience in Brazil offers insight for South Africa. The BCB adopted an inflation target in 1999 following the end of the currency peg that helps the transition away from hyperinflation. The target was initially set at 8 percent, lowered to 4.5 percent in 2005, and then lowered again to 3 percent in 2024.Fiscal outcomes, market expectations, and currency volatility have been hard to contain. The lessons apply to South Africa and also the Fed. Successful inflation targeting relies on a clear framework, but also on institutional strength and political consensus. For South Africa, as inflation falls ex-ante real interest rates will rise. That outcome will be necessary to restrain the economy enough to make sure that the path to 3 percent is achieved. For an open EM economy, there likely needs to be consistency by both monetary and fiscal authorities with regard to short-term pressures, both internal and external. While we ultimately expect the SARB to be able to anchor inflation expectations, the journey may not be a quick one; and that journey will likely depend on keeping real interest rates on the higher side to ensure the convergence.We take the experiences of South Africa and Brazil to be informative globally. Simply announcing an inflation target likely does not solve the problem. The Fed, for example, spent much of the 2010s hoping to get inflation up to target – while now ironically, inflation in the US has run above target for almost half a decade. Whether the lingering effects of the COVID inflation has affected the price setting mechanism is unclear, as is whether tariff driven inflation will exacerbate the situation. Our read of the evidence is that inflation expectations and central bank credibility come from hitting the target, not from announcing it. Thanks for listening.
