    [Audio Pod] How to Land Sponsorships, and SA's Lost Economy

    In Useful Updates, we unpack the global shifts shaping SA’s economy — from a long-awaited ratings upgrade and reactions to the MTBPS, to major resignations from Michael Burry, Nancy Pelosi and Warren Buffett.

For our Deep Dive, we get into the business of sponsorships — how corporates choose who to back, why teams and creators get paid what they do, and what actually goes into landing (and keeping) a sponsor. Then for "Make It Make Sense", we track the money behind SA’s proposed government MVNO and Samsung’s massive $310bn AI spend. We also look at South Africa's lost economy. Finally, in Unfiltered Opinion, we share our controversial view on the G20 in Gauteng: government can fix roads, robots and infrastructure instantly — they just need international guests to do it.

    [Audio Pod] How to Navigate Volatile Markets, and Suing Governments

    In Useful Updates, we cover the biggest stories shaping markets right now — from Scooters Pizza’s comeback and Coca-Cola’s South African bottling buyout, to Cell C’s missing billions and the Louvre jewel heist twist. We also explore what it means for South Africa to finally be off the grey list, and how shifting U.S.-China relations could reshape global trade. For our Deep Dive, we get practical about trading volatility — explaining what drives market swings, how traders can stay disciplined during chaos, and why volatility can be an investor’s best friend when understood correctly. Make-It-Make-Sense follows the money trail — Trump’s $230 million lawsuit against the U.S. government, the surprising use of Russian funds against Russia itself, and South Africa’s rapidly growing gambling market.
