Stephen Grootes speaks to Professor Bruce Watson, of UKZN and Waterloo (in Canada), AI Research Founder & Global Advisor, about the government’s decision to appoint an independent panel to redraft South Africa’s AI framework after it was withdrawn due to AI‑generated “hallucinated” references, and what this means for regulation, credibility, and the future of AI governance.
In other interviews, Wandile Sihlobo, Agricultural economist talks about South Africa’s agricultural exports jumping 11% in the first quarter of 2026, unpacking how strong global demand and higher commodity prices drove the growth, even as persistent port bottlenecks, particularly at Cape Town, forced costly diversions to other ports and squeezed farmers’ margins.
