    Ramaphosa’s Official Promises To South Africa For 2026 - Episode #166

    In Today's Show:   South Africa’s State of the Nation Address was less about bold new ideas and more about whether government can finally make the basics work - from power and rail to water and freight - without tripping over its own bottlenecks. Crime also took centre stage, with Ramaphosa warning that syndicates are feeding off the very systems meant to drive growth. Meanwhile, Cell C is back in profit - but much of that comeback came from cleaning up debt, not explosive new growth. And if you’re feeling brave, we’re heading 216 metres off the edge of a local bridge.  More From Us: ⁠Whatsapp Channel⁠  ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠ ⁠Apple Podcast⁠
