South African firms carry the cost of governance failure
For businesses across South Africa, the past few years have been a test of endurance. They have kept the lights on through electricity disruptions, rerouted goods around logistics failures, absorbed regulatory uncertainty and carried the costs of corruption. Their resilience is real, and it deserves recognition. Yet there is something troubling about an economy in which ordinary businesses must grow ever more resilient simply to make up for institutions that fail at their basic functions.
ICC Rankings Confirm Jansen's Top Test Standing
The latest ICC rankings carry the most institutional weight of the week’s South African sporting results: Marco Jansen now holds the No. 1 position among Test bowlers and Test all-rounders simultaneously. Rankings are cricket’s official measure of standing, and Jansen’s ascent was earned through documented performance at St George’s Park in Gqeberha.
Henley's Executive MBA climbs to 32nd globally, tops SA
Henley Business School’s Global Executive MBA has delivered its strongest result yet in the Financial Times Executive MBA ranking: 32nd in the world for 2026, first in South Africa and third in Africa. The programme, run by the business school that forms part of the University of Reading, has climbed 20 places in two years, after a 19-place rise in 2025.
Africa's Resources Must Deliver for Its Billion Citizens
Moscow, this afternoon. Africa’s mineral and agricultural wealth, and the prosperity of its more than a billion people, stood at the centre of the Third Russia-Africa Summit, as the Chairperson of the African Union Commission told world leaders that the continent’s natural resources must deliver real, measurable gains for its citizens rather than leaving Africa at the bottom of the global value chain.
LPC appeal loss adds to regulator's rising legal bill
A regulatory fight over access to South Africa’s legal services market has cost the industry’s own regulator another round, and the bill keeps climbing. The Legal Practice Council has lost its bid to appeal a High Court ruling that opened the door for a UK-qualified lawyer to enter the profession. It now faces the prospect of further litigation costs, a suspended admission, and a second punitive costs order already on the record.
600 US Firms Anchor South Africa's Push to Mend Ties
More than 600 American companies operate in South Africa, and that figure is exactly why Roelf Meyer, the country’s ambassador to the United States, calls repairing strained relations with Washington an economic imperative. The stakes, he argues, run straight to investment and job creation.
Proteas' Innings Win Sets Up High-Stakes Newlands Decider
The series is level at 1-1, and the decisive Test at Newlands now carries the weight of a full campaign. For South African cricket, the swing in fortunes could hardly have been sharper. Four days after absorbing a 214-run defeat in Durban, the Proteas left Gqeberha with a win by an innings and 31 runs, a turnaround that resets the competitive stakes against Australia before the decider in Cape Town from 27 to 31 October. The shape of that comeback is what makes it remarkable.
Spun From Used Oil: Runway Honors SA's Spinners
For the spinners who gather at Kwa Magesh in Brakpan, the culture they live briefly found itself on a runway. Last week, at Heat on the Street, one of the major spinning events on the calendar, the Engen Xtreme Kouture fashion collection was unveiled. It is a set of garments built to represent the mechanics, drivers, and other identities that make up South Africa’s motoring community. The clothes themselves carry a story about waste and worth.
Africa Skills Week Ends With Pledge to Reach Young Workers
Africa Skills Week 2026 closed in Harare this week with a message aimed squarely at the continent’s young people and workers: the promises made on podiums must now reach classrooms, workshops and workplaces where ordinary Africans earn their living. Zimbabwe’s Minister of Skills Audit and Development, Honourable Dr. Jenfan Muswere, delivered the closing remarks.
Full detective budget spent, only 63% of targets met
The South African Police Service spent every rand of its detective services budget for 2025 to 2026, R15.5-billion in total, yet delivered only 63% of its performance targets. The Auditor-General of South Africa, presenting to Parliament on Friday, 2 October 2026, put the operational verdict bluntly: full budget spending with underachievement suggests resources are not translating into intended operational results.
