‘We have in excess of 9.8 million young people in that 15 to 34 age group, who are not in employment, education or training,’ says Statistician-General Risenga Maluleke. Moneyweb
Unemployment dips to 31.4%, but SA’s jobs crisis is far from over. Will changes to the Credit Act make loans easier or more expensive? And inside the conference redefining Africa’s creative future. Moneyweb
‘We are saying that illegal mining is a criminal activity and must be dealt with by law enforcement like they deal with any other criminal activity,’ says Advocate Mmadikeledi Moloto, DDG of compliance monitoring and enforcement at the DMPR. Moneyweb
Gold rush chaos prompts illegal mining clampdown. Can the Budget Speech really boost confidence and jobs – or is it just numbers on paper? And 10 years of Starbucks, what it takes to build a global brand locally. Moneyweb
‘I think the minister has realised what crisis he is in. It's solely on the minister to react and to give instructions to his staff to buy the vaccines and to implement the process,’ says Arnold Prinsloo, CEO of Eskort. Moneyweb
Foot-and-mouth crisis pushing pork prices higher. Sona signals tougher tax enforcement ahead. And SA winemaker claims global chenin blanc crown again. Moneyweb
‘If we can create an environment for the private sector to invest, then certainly we can start to see a rollout not only of investment but of infrastructure,’ says Martin Kingston, chair, Business for South Africa. Moneyweb
The risk of inertia and slow implementation post Sona. And love and loans collide this Valentine’s Day. Moneyweb
‘I think this is a call for the South African government to begin to allocate resources to all the programmes that the US government was funding in this country,’ says Zohakiy Mbi-Njifor, CEO of the EndlessLife Group. Moneyweb
African CEOs confident but wary of bold bets. Will global turmoil open the door for SA’s African opportunity? And can SA plug a R4bn healthcare gap in the NGO sector? Moneyweb
‘There needs to be a national disaster declared in the City of Joburg, and it's not a climate national disaster, it's an infrastructural disaster,’ says Dr Ferrial Adam, executive director of WaterCAN. Moneyweb
Bonus row leaves Joburg’s water system under pressure. Mining disasters aren’t accidents, they’re warnings ignored, says expert. And what youth employment really needs from this year’s Sona. Moneyweb
‘I signed one of the agreements the other day, so we will see these private operators also making use of the network. We’re hoping that as a country, we can get to 250 million tonnes by 2030,’ says Transnet CEO, Michelle Phillips. Moneyweb
Warmer reception for Transnet at Mining Indaba: ‘No time to get complacent’ says CEO. Beyond the war rooms, what it will really take to fix SA’s broken infrastructure. Moneyweb
‘Our view as the Minerals Council is that government can meet us halfway by incentivising exploration. That's what's happening in other jurisdictions, such as Canada and Australia, which are key mining jurisdictions,’ says Bongani Motsa, acting chief economist at the South African Minerals Council. Moneyweb
New 2026 mining data takes centre stage at Mining Indaba. Financial sector under siege as cyberattacks spike 115%. Structured homeschooling grows amid placement delays. And how gaming is reshaping creative careers in Africa. Moneyweb
‘They're going to have to risk that base in favour of building a bigger party, as Maimane was trying to do 10 years ago, that has black voters from the middle class and lower middle class,’ says Richard Calland, political commentator, Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. Moneyweb
Prof Richard Calland analyses the race for the DA’s top spot. How Agoa renewal affects SA’s farmers and export markets. Unbossed, AI-driven and boundary aware – inside the workplace of 2026. Moneyweb
‘You can pay R30 000 for a bot rather than R300 000 for a labour relations officer. The labour markets are under pressure, I think we're going to see unemployment grow significantly,’ says John Botha, joint CEO at Global Business Solutions. Moneyweb
Minimum wage rises to R30.32, why this increase changes more than pay slips. Why SA’s mining future hinges on policy certainty and infrastructure reform. And brains over borders, why more young South Africans are gaining access to top US universities. Moneyweb
