[Audio Pod] The Rand Explained, and Crazy Black Friday Spends
Loading player...
In Useful Updates, we cover Cell C’s renewed listing ambitions, Walmart’s second swing at South Africa, a gambling tax shake-up, Curro’s buyout conditions, G20 drama, Standard Bank’s China payment system, a new trade surplus, and SA’s updated retail savings bonds — now offering 8% for five years.
In our Deep Dive, we unpack the rand: what moves it, who influences it, and why South Africans should care more than ever. We also share some rare insights on how the @SAReserveBank may be feeling about the currency too.
In Make-It-Make-Sense, we dig into the R5 million saga behind a R200 million deal, some wild Black Friday spending stories, and why even in death… FNB still finds you.
And in this week's Unfiltered Opinion, we take on forced tipping and mandatory service fees — and whether we’ve all just accepted it without thinking about it.
