Tonight’s BizNews Briefing spans infrastructure, energy, markets and global tech risk. Stephen Moore argues Gauteng’s water crisis needs urgent, ring-fenced funding. Dylan Bradfield outlines why Blue Label’s non-Eskom power route into municipalities could be a breakthrough.

And we pay tribute to Clem Sunter (1944 - 2026), renowned South African scenario planner and one of the BizNews tribe's most loved contributors.
