Catch the latest skoop on this week’s Bizskoops!

Economist Professor Waldo Krugell joins us to interpret late‑2025 economic indicators and what they reveal about an economy that is showing slow, but measurable, improvement while still weighing on regional performance.

Executive Director of the Centre for Risk Analysis, Chris Hattingh, offers further perspective on what the latest growth revisions suggest about South Africa’s current position and outlook.

On the investment front, we explore the trends likely to dominate sustainability and climate technology in the coming decade with Hirander Misra, Chairperson and CEO of GMEX Group, and how he is positioning his businesses to lead in high‑integrity, climate‑positive finance at scale.

Finally, we shift focus to households and businesses under financial strain, as we speak to Dr Phillip van Rensburg, Tax Rescue Specialist at ProGroup Tax Rescue SA, about debt‑solution strategies, tax‑debt management and how tailored interventions can help clients navigate complex SARS issues, avoid liquidations and stay compliant in a rapidly changing legislative environment.
