The Politics Behind John Steenhuisen’s Exit - Episode #159

from Daily Bagel · host Bagel Media

In Today's Show:  John Steenhuisen is stepping aside as DA leader - but not stepping away from power - as a growing agricultural crisis sharpens the timing. South Africa’s minimum wage is going up again, but the maths behind it shows why many workers may barely feel the difference. WeBuyCars’ founders have sold hundreds of millions in shares, raising eyebrows without actually heading for the exit. We also look at tighter cannabis rules, Eskom unsettling its own lenders, and why African credit ratings are quietly improving. Plus: a world-record goat and a legal rule that says the state only gets one shot.More From Us:⁠Whatsapp Channel⁠ ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠Apple Podcast⁠
