SA-built locos to cut coal line's reliance on Chinese spares

Standard Bank posts R49.2bn headline earnings

Oil surges above $100 amid shipping attacks

Market insights with Viv Govender

Sanlam delivers powerful 2025 results

Should boards have an age limit?

NSFAS sounds the alarm on student gambling

Why 80% of SMEs are getting salaries wrong 

Why dividend focused investing still matters

Stephen Grootes speaks to Sim Tshabalala, CEO of Standard Bank Group, after the lender reported strong results for the 2025 financial year. The bank posted headline earnings of R49.2 billion, with earnings per share and dividends both rising 12%, while return on equity reached 19.3%, the top end of its target range. The performance was supported by solid balance sheet growth, stronger fee and trading income, and lower credit impairments, alongside continued expansion across its African operations and increasing digital adoption among customers.

In other interviews, Sanisha Packirisamy, Chief Economist at Momentum Investments talks about the surge in global oil prices after fresh shipping attacks in the Middle East pushed Brent crude oil above $100 a barrel. The spike comes after Oman evacuated its key export terminal at Mina Al Fahal and Iraqi oil terminals halted operations following tanker strikes, raising fears of deeper disruptions to global energy supply and trade routes near the Strait of Hormuz.

Investment School: Why dividend‑focused investing still matters in today’s market

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5dcefa8e-00a9-4595-8ce1-a4ab0080f142/clips/05f32b18-bbfb-4b06-b06e-b40b012961ef/transcript

Stephen Grootes speaks to Sasha Knott, CEO of Job Crystal, about the challenges small and medium-sized businesses face when hiring and paying for talent. Data from the platform suggests that around 80% of SMEs set salaries based mainly on internal budgets rather than market benchmarks, creating a mismatch between what employers offer and what candidates expect. Despite record average wages reported in recent labour data, many workers still feel underpaid, raising questions about salary transparency, benchmarking, and how SMEs can compete for skills in South Africa’s tight labour market.
