    What does it mean for you and your investments that global public sector debt has now breached the $100-trillion mark, and by the end of the decade government debt will probably reach 100% of global GDP.

    The DA wants to be SA’s largest party. Is that possible? Really?

    The DA has just chosen a new leader and leadership team, and the personable Geordin Hill-Lewis is now the Federal leader of the DA, who has set the party the target of becoming the country’s largest party. Merchant banker Mark Barnes and journalist Tim Cohen discuss this question, only somewhat cynically, with special guest Ryan Coetzee. Coetzee is a political advisor long associated with the DA who has been a consultant to a wide range of organisations, including being special adviser to then UK Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg. Also, political developments around the world.
