    Fuel prices surge as govt weighs action & SA cracks down on independent repair barriers

    Stephen Grootes speaks to Karabo Tjale, EWN Traffic Reporter, Bobby Ramagwede, CEO of the Automobile Association and Sanisha Packirisamy, Group Economist at Momentum about whether the government should provide temporary tax relief as sharply higher fuel prices put renewed pressure on households and businesses. With petrol prices rising by more than R3 a litre in October, the debate is over whether protecting consumers now could prevent a broader hit to spending, business margins and economic growth, or whether further relief would put unsustainable pressure on government finances.  In other interviews, James Hodge, Chief Economist at the Competition Commission talks about South Africa’s new right-to-repair guidelines, what they mean for consumers and independent repairers, and how manufacturers could be affected by restrictions on spare parts, repair information and software that locks replacement components to devices.

    Santam set to leave the JSE in Sanlam buyout & Durban port delays and the future of the RAF levy

    Stephen Grootes speaks to Andrew Bahlmann, CEO of Deal Leaders International about Sanlam’s proposed buyout of Santam’s remaining shares for R505 a share, a 26.6% premium to Santam’s 2 October closing price. Sanlam, which already owns about 63% of Santam, wants to take the insurer fully private and delist it from the JSE, A2X and Namibian Stock Exchange. The deal still requires shareholder and regulatory approval, with Santam’s independent board unanimously backing the transaction. In other interviews, Transport Minister Barbara Creecy talks about the worsening delays at the Durban Gateway Terminal, where vessel waiting times have nearly doubled since ICTSI took over operations, and the anticipated changes to the Road Accident Fund fuel levy. With the government considering a new funding model for the financially distressed RAF, including reducing its reliance on the fuel levy.

    Shein’s SA threat and how local retailers are fighting back & Should the govt subsidise fuel?

    Stephen Grootes speaks to Bronwyn Williams, Retail Analyst, about Shein’s shrinking profit margin and its move towards higher-priced clothing. When Shein entered South Africa, there were fears its ultra-cheap fast fashion model would seriously disrupt local clothing retailers. But that hasn’t happened to the extent many expected. What protected local retailers, and does Shein’s latest strategy suggest the limits of the ultra-cheap fast fashion model are now becoming clearer? In other interviews, John Loos, Independent Economist talks about the sharp fuel price increases expected in October and whether government should step in to cushion motorists and the wider economy. Current projections point to petrol rising by around R3 a litre, potentially pushing 95 unleaded close to R30 a litre inland, while diesel could also rise by more than R3.
