Despite bomb squads and promises, Joburg is still falling apart and its residents have had enough. Businesses must register for energy performance certificates, or face the wrath of the law. And nostalgia, tech and collectables dominating Christmas shopping. Moneyweb
‘I don't care who you are or what membership card you carry. If your business doesn't perform for the department, either nationally or provincially, you will be blacklisted, and you won't be able to operate anywhere,’ says Minister of Public Works, Dean Macpherson. Moneyweb
An infrastructure shakeup will see underperforming and defaulting construction contractors blacklisted, according to the minister. A transformative digital learning platform launched to empower SA youth and educators with skills needed to thrive in the digital economy. And how SA’s sluggish transport system could find new momentum through digitalisation. Moneyweb
‘Artisans are specifically interesting because there is a big fight for artisans, so your electricians, your millwrights, coming in at number three on our top 10 critical skills list this year,’ says Marisa Jacobs, MD of Xpatweb. Moneyweb
SA’s critical skills crunch deepens as companies battle to fill top roles. A look at the top African destinations to invest in. And how economies of scale are driving consolidation and strategic partnerships. Moneyweb
‘Len is for HIV-negative people to try and stop them from getting HIV…when you get an injection, the contents of the injection release slowly in your body over a period of six months,’ says Mia Malan of Bhekisisa. Moneyweb
Revolutionary twice-a-year anti-HIV jab registered in SA, could rollout as soon as Feb 2026. What SA’s exit from the grey list means for taxpayers and investors. And why saving our water sources is not about privatisation, but about leveraging private expertise. Moneyweb
‘The procedure that’s done in hospital can sometimes be up to ten times — and even more — expensive for the exact same procedure that is done outside of hospital,’ says Lungile Kasapato, CEO of PPO Serve. Moneyweb
Why the private healthcare systems need as much of an overhaul as the public sector. SA’s media and entertainment industries are outperforming global markets – we find out what’s driving the growth. And why SMEs should also provide employee benefits. Moneyweb
‘We saw this with the rise of Jacob Zuma 20 years ago when he was beholden to interests outside of the national or the public interest. I fear that we’re seeing it coming to the fore again with someone like Mashatile,’ says author and investigative journalist, Pieter du Toit. Moneyweb
The state of the South African state: New study looks at the performance and resilience of our public institutions. Inside Paul Mashatile’s political ascension. And should there be an age limit for elderly drivers? Moneyweb

Hey big spenders! South Africans spent R1bn abroad over a six month period. Why suicide is on the rise amongst SA’s first responders. And Cosatu warns that high electricity prices could derail recovery efforts. Moneyweb
‘We feel that a balanced review could unlock R350 billion into economic stimulation. That money will flow directly into townships, to small businesses and households, funding education, housing, and also entrepreneurs’, says Leonie van Pletzen, CEO of MicroFinance South Africa. Moneyweb
Why more than 13m South Africans are rejected access to credit every quarter. EU doubles down on sustainability partnership with €12bn investment, but how will SA service its green loans debt? And why universities should become new job creation hubs. Moneyweb
‘We would definitely support her removal from that position, because we do not want ministers who interfere with issues of governance, especially when they involve financial mismanagement,’ says Oupa Pilane, chair of the Southern African Tourism Services Association. Moneyweb
Lack of distinction between SA’s political and criminal elites does not help our ‘mafia state’ label. Setback for former SAT board as court dismisses bid against tourism minister over dissolution. And a new report calls for better coal mine methane reporting. Moneyweb
