    On this week’s Bizskoops, we look at the new race-based employment equity plans required under the amended Employment Equity Act for employers with more than 50 staff, as Chris Hattingh from the Centre for Risk Analysis explains the potential implications for companies and the wider economy.

    Economist Professor Waldo Krugell joins us to reflect on one year of President Donald Trump’s renewed term in the White House and what his controversial economic and financial policies have meant for the US, the global economy and South Africa.

    On the investment front, Todd Micklethwaite, Executive Head: Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships at Sanlam Investments, looks ahead to next year’s Africa's Green Economy Summit, exploring the emerging trends and technologies likely to define the next wave of green investment opportunities in Africa.

    We hear from Hirander Misra, Chairperson and CEO of GMEX Group, on how traditional financial institutions and decentralised platforms can work together to create scalable, climate-positive investment opportunities across global and African markets.

    Finally, we return to African trade corridors and freight infrastructure with Monray van Rooyen, Head of Business Development for Sub-Saharan Africa at DP World.

    On this week’s Bizskoops, economist Professor Waldo Krugell explains how global shocks and geopolitical flashpoints, from trade tensions to military interventions, can filter through to South Africa’s growth, inflation, currency, and investment climate. This follows Pretoria’s strong condemnation of the recent US military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Chris Hattingh from the Center for Risk Analysis (CRA) tells us more about how this could impact foreign policy, the rules-based order, and South Africa’s positioning in a fragmenting world.

    On the investment front, Todd Micklethwaite, Executive Head: Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships at Sanlam Investments, joins us ahead of this year’s Africa's Green Economy Summit to unpack how blended finance models and partnerships with DFIs can unlock capital at scale for Africa’s green transition.
    We then continue our conversation with Hirander Misra, Chairperson and CEO of GMEX Group, on the realities of driving sustainable development in the finance sector in emerging markets and what it takes to align fintech innovation with credible impact.

    Finally, we turn to trade corridors and logistics with Monray van Rooyen, Head of Business Development for Sub-Saharan Africa at DP World. He unpacks how DP World is enhancing end-to-end supply chain solutions for exporters and importers in the context of the African Continental Free Trade Area, tackling challenges such as long distances, complex borders, and freight bottlenecks, while embedding sustainability and renewable energy across African operations.

Sanlam Investments returns as title sponsor, with Teboho Makhabane highlighting why South Africa’s growth story lies in the blue and green economy and why backing platforms like Africa’s Green Economy Summit is key to catalysing impact.
