Sasol's oil hedges are built for a $50-a-barrel world, its Qatar plant has been switched on and off every three weeks by fighting near the Strait of Hormuz, and its biggest customer market just hit it with a 30% tariff. CEO Simon Baloyi sits down to unpack how a company this exposed to global chaos stays standing, what a $12 billion bet on Louisiana is actually returning, and why he thinks South Africa is about to miss out on its own offshore gas boom.
Independent analyst Jimmy Moyaha unpacks decent Sasol results – but for now, is the share price simply an oil-price story? Shoprite CEO Pieter Engelbrecht talks results as the retailer pushes into coffee and telco. Smart diversification, or are they throwing spaghetti at the wall? Sea Harvest CEO Felix Ratheb on growing profits despite softer revenue and persistent headwinds.

Wall Street dipped as investors braced for retail earnings from Home Depot, TJX and Walmart. In Knysna, Ron Weissenberg says a R70-80 million provincial intervention has barely dented entrenched corruption despite Hawks investigations. From BNC#9, Theo de Jager detail 14 Washington meetings pushing the US to link trade to farm-murder action, BEE exemptions and Expropriation Act changes. Sasol's Simon Baloyi and Afrimat's Andries van Heerden share their turnaround stories, from R60bn capex plans to cleaning out corruption at Lafarge.
He started out as a bursary student from a village with no electricity or running water. Now Simon Baloyi runs one of South Africa's biggest industrial employers. In his first full year as CEO (2024) he turned a loss of nearly R70 a share into double-digit profit. Baloyi's BNC#9 keynote takes us inside that turnaround: the internal battle to hold the strategy together through Trump's tariffs, the balance sheet target that will decide when dividends return, and why Sasol isn't walking away from coal just yet. This is the story of a company built on getting oil out of coal, told by the man now betting his career on getting it right.
Reza Shah of Iran died in exile in a house in Johannesburg in 1944. Eighty-two years later, an Iranian-born South African economist stood up at BNC#9 to explain why that strange, half-forgotten history still shapes how Pretoria thinks about Tehran, and why the war now raging between Iran, Israel and the United States might be the moment historians look back on as the start of America's retreat from the Middle East. Dr Iraj Abedian takes you from a British-orchestrated abdication and a CIA-backed coup, through Sasol's Iranian shareholder and Mandela's visits to Tehran, to a chessboard being redrawn "literally hourly." His verdict on Washington's war plan: a swamp, not a surrender.

Alex Karp just proved that conviction moves markets. Palantir's overnight 29% jump has Wall Street rethinking what it thought it knew about the company, and Karp isn't shy about telling you why. Elon Musk lays out exactly how far ahead SpaceX and Starlink already are, and how much further they're going, while South Africa keeps arguing with itself about letting Starlink in at all. Add a fresh Johannesburg poll that's bad news for the ANC, a Sasol result the market punished despite strong numbers, and Glencore handing billions back to shareholders, and you've got a day where markets and voters were settling the same argument.
Zimele Mbanjwa from FNB Wealth & Investments unpacks Sasol's business performance metrics. Or has the investment case become all about oil prices and geopolitical conflict? Benay Sager from DebtBusters discusses the latest 2026 Money Stress Tracker and what it reveals about the financial pressure facing South Africans. Tertia Jacobs from Investec looks ahead to this week's key macro events: Wednesday's CPI data and Thursday's MPC interest rate decision.
In today's Daybreak, we unpack the growing impeachment momentum against President Ramaphosa and its potential threat to the government of national unity. We also dive into Sasol's operational rebound, highlighted by Secunda's best production run in five years. Globally, we explore Trump's proposed generic drug tariffs, a chipmaker-led market rally, the rise of China's Kimi K3 AI model, and how Middle East tensions are impacting local fuel prices.
Veteran investor James Gubb joins BizNews Edge to cut through the AI hype, weighing today's data centre spending against history's biggest capital booms and explaining why he's backing energy and nuclear stocks over AI names themselves. Also on today's show: Sasol's operational turnaround continues even as its share price cools after a strong run, Nedbank locks in its East Africa expansion via Kenya's NCBA Group, and Kumba Iron Ore's ugly trading update lays bare the toll of a strong rand and Transnet's rail failures. Plus, why Thursday's Reserve Bank rate decision just got more hawkish.
David Shapiro of Otto1890 shares that it will be a while before supply chains rebalance. US companies in AI are delivering big earnings. SA markets show platinum and gold are the biggest winners while Sasol has lost ground. EU markets are recovering with luxury brands such as Hermes and Louis Vuitton despite constrained spending. Inflation will persist and hoping central banks resist the urge to hike interest rates. Banks should show restraint before setting their economies back. SAfm Market Update - Podcasts and live stream
Stephen Grootes speaks to Old Mutual Investment Group’s Siya Mbatha, about how the Strait of Hormuz disruption has pushed energy security to the centre of South Africa’s economic outlook, and why Sasol is increasingly being viewed not just as a cyclical commodity stock, but as a strategic pillar of national energy resilience under structurally higher oil prices The Money Show is a podcast hosted by well-known journalist and radio presenter, Stephen Grootes.

In today's BizNews Daybreak: Global energy markets are on edge as Iranian minelaying in the Strait of Hormuz and a fragile Israel-Lebanon ceasefire extension drive crude oil prices above $105. While the South African Reserve Bank warns of fuel and food inflation, Sasol's stock has tripled by securing domestic supply amidst these geopolitical shocks. In tech, Intel and Tesla shares rallied on massive AI and production forecasts, contrasting with significant job cuts at Meta and Microsoft. Meanwhile, Alec Hogg reflected at the Rotary Club on the success of the eighth BizNews Conference, emphasizing that "Pretoria will not provide" and urging citizens to drive South Africa's turnaround.
In this Boardroom Talk, BizNews editor Alec Hogg unpacks Tesla's shift into AI and robotics, Sasol's resilience amid oil shocks, and Teledyne's disciplined growth — highlighting how each plays a role in a rational, diversified portfolio.

A new political party has entered the electoral landscape. In this interview with Chris Steyn, co-founder Khulu Radebe describes how The Service Movement for Metsimaholo (SMM) emerged from years of grassroots civic work carried out under the banner of the Metsimaholo Stakeholders Forum (MSF), a non-profit organisation founded in 201&, that tackled environmental, food security, and community welfare challenges in partnership with Sasol and Eskom and Seriti Mines. Radebe says the SMM's unifying civic theme is the “New Animal” because it represents the collective power of residents who refuse to accept broken promises and empty politics. SMM steps into a big political opening in Metsimaholo where no party has commanded the loyalty of voters for over a decade - and where the African National Congress' (ANC's) dominance has steadily eroded over three elections.

DA finance spokesperson Dr Mark Burke explains why partial fuel-levy relief creates a major funding gap — and argues government should plug it by cutting waste and tapping underused state “pots of money” like the Compensation Fund. Alec Hogg's Bottom Line then covers Natie Kirsh's $29bn sale of Jetro to Sysco, Absa's strategy reset under Kenny Fihla and René van Wyk, and Sasol's successful $750m bond refinancing. Sakeliga CEO Piet le Roux urges South Africans to stay optimistic but warns a “bad wave” of policy risk is coming, requiring business and civil society to act beyond voting. Bloomberg closes with analyst Jessica Genauer saying President Trump is at a crossroads in Iran, with no good options while Tehran retains Hormuz leverage.

Welcome to BizNews Daybreak with Alec Hogg for Wednesday, March 18, 2026. In today's episode, we dive into the shifting tectonic plates of global geopolitics, escalating tensions in the Middle East, and the hard realities of coalition governance in South Africa. Today's Top Stories: Middle East Tensions & Market Impact: Crude oil surges past $96 a barrel after Israel assassinates two senior Iranian security officials, including security chief Ali Larijani. SA's Political Future: Longest-serving MP Corné Mulder (FF+) delivers a hard truth about the ANC's inability to self-correct and explains why coalition governments are the unavoidable new reality for South Africa.

Locally, the Rand strengthens to R16.66 against the Dollar, while Sasol shares jump 5% on the JSE. US Hegemony: Rob Hersov offers a sobering reality check on global power dynamics, arguing that the US remains the ultimate centre of the geopolitical chessboard.
Oil remains elevated, but with global drawdowns still fairly modest, Nick Kunze of Sanlam Private Wealth asks whether Sasol's latest move signals more upside or is simply an oil-leverage trade. Chanal Subramoney from Yellow Card makes the business case for a stable coin strategy. And with the new tax year underway, Siphamandla Buthelezi of NMG Benefits looks at two-pot access reopening and what the latest data is telling us.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Simon Baloyi, CEO of Sasol about the group’s half-year results as it navigates weaker oil and chemicals prices.

In other interviews, Gerhard van der Merwe, consumer law attorney at Trudie Broekmann Attorneys talks about a landmark High Court case challenging banks’ long-standing use of sales in execution. Lawyer Douglas Shaw is seeking to certify a class action, alleging that homes in arrears were sold for amounts just sufficient to settle outstanding debt, potentially below market value. Major banks deny wrongdoing, saying repossessions are a legal last resort, and are opposing both the certification and Shaw’s conduct.

Tonight's BizNews Briefing covers four key themes: Dawie Roodt on what matters most in Wednesday's Budget; a SENS round-up led by Sasol, Nedbank, SPAR and Gemfields; Ian Cameron's “no-compromise” pushback to proposed firearm law changes; and Anton Roux on what South Africa must do to make a credible case for Formula One's return.
In today's Editor's Desk, Alec Hogg strips away the corporate polish to reveal why Sasol's 18-month share price high masks a "difficult" set of financial results and an $800 million debt hurdle. We explore a "software apocalypse" sparked by AI , Ruchir Sharma's take on why gold is breaking every traditional investment model , and the political earthquake of Helen Zille's return to her home turf in Johannesburg. Plus, we look at the whispers surrounding Patrice Motsepe's potential path to the presidency.
South Africa's Sasol is the world's only commercial-scale synthetic oil producer. Founded in 1950, they convert millions of tons of oil from coal each year. In 2011, high oil prices turned them into South Africa's second most valuable company - with stock returns of 1000% since 2000. Then they took a massive swing on a multi-billion megaproject in Louisiana. It could have transformed them into an international chemicals giant. Instead, it smashed them to bits. In today's video, South Africa's synthetic oil giant, and the $13 billion US megaproject that ruined it.

Petri Redelinghuys from Herenya Capital Advisors revisits Sasol – one of his 2025 picks – after a volatile year, and asks whether it still earns a place in his portfolio. Chris Harmse of Sequoia Capital unpacks December inflation at 3.6% and an average CPI of 3.2% for 2025, the lowest in more than a decade, and what it signals for next week's interest rate call. Hiten Keshave, CEO of Unconventional CA, argues that funding is not the problem for SMEs – capital is available, but many businesses are simply not ready to absorb it.

Fundada a partir del histórico Horizon Asset Management Company, Hamco acumula 25 años de trayectoria con una rentabilidad anualizada del 17%. El programa Tu Dinero Nunca Duerme reunió a John Teed y Pablo Istillarte, socios de la gestora Hamco AM, una firma de inversión de origen uruguayo con presencia en España en una nueva edición especial para suscriptores de podcast. Fundada a partir del histórico Horizon Asset Management Company, Hamco acumula 25 años de trayectoria con una rentabilidad anualizada del 17%, y más de seis años operando como gestora independiente en el mercado español. Teed explicó que su llegada a España respondió tanto a motivos personales —sus hijos son españoles— como a la oportunidad de integrarse en el ecosistema de gestoras value que han prosperado en el país. En cuanto a su filosofía, Hamco se define como inversora "deep value", orientada a comprar buenas empresas a precios muy bajos, con un enfoque global y diversificado. Su fondo insignia, el Hamco Global Value Fund, cuenta con 85 posiciones —muy por encima del promedio del sector— y mantiene su mayor exposición en Corea del Sur (20%), seguida del sudeste asiático, Europa y América. Teed defendió la diversificación como una ventaja frente a carteras excesivamente concentradas: "Dormimos mejor nosotros y también los partícipes", afirmó, subrayando que el límite por posición rara vez supera el 3%. Pese a ello, el fondo ha logrado rentabilidades cercanas al 18% anual netas de comisiones, demostrando que una cartera amplia no está reñida con el rendimiento, según enfatizó Pablo Istillarte, responsable de relación con inversores de Hamco. Uno de los ejemplos de su enfoque es Sasol, una química y refinería sudafricana que constituye la principal posición del fondo. La firma fue adquirida cuando cotizaba "a 25 lo que valía 100", explicó Teed, un caso típico de su estrategia basada en amplios márgenes de seguridad y búsqueda de "empresas que nadie quiere". Istillarte complementó que ser un fondo global les permite encontrar oportunidades en mercados infravalorados como Turquía, Argentina o Sudáfrica, y evitar caer en las llamadas "trampas de valor", compañías baratas en apariencia pero con beneficios decrecientes o activos deteriorados. Hamco ha lanzado recientemente un segundo producto, el Hamco Quality Fund, domiciliado en Luxemburgo, que busca compañías de mayor calidad y estabilidad, al estilo del "Buffett 2.0". Ambos fondos mantienen comisiones competitivas —1,35% fija y 9% sobre éxito en el Global Value— y recomiendan a los inversores un horizonte mínimo de cinco años para maximizar resultados. En palabras de Teed, la clave del éxito de Hamco es simple pero exigente: "Comprar 100 por 25 y esperar pacientemente a que el mercado reconozca el verdadero valor."
