How Much South Africa’s Top Politicians Now Earn - Episode #148

from Daily Bagel · host Bagel Media

In Today's Show: South Africa’s political salary structure is back in focus after a new round of raises for MPs, ministers, and the presidency. The country’s water crisis is also deepening, with failing pipes and weak coordination pushing places like Knysna and Gauteng closer to the edge. In business, Capitec has crossed R500 billion in value, not by lending harder, but by scaling smarter. We also touch on school safety funding, wildfires in the Cape, and a subtle shift in African trade. And finally: why the springbok of all animals became our national symbol.More From Us:⁠Whatsapp Channel⁠ ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠Apple Podcast⁠
