Why Foreign Warships Have Entered South African Waters - Episode #142

from Daily Bagel · host Bagel Media

In Today's Show:  South Africa is hosting foreign warships from Russia, China and Iran - officially as a routine naval exercise, unofficially as a diplomatic Rorschach test that’s raising eyebrows in Washington. Back home, the DA’s internal fight has spilled into the Public Protector’s office, turning a party dispute into a very public credibility problem ahead of key votes. Meanwhile, ICASA wants to stop mobile data from expiring - but consumer groups warn the fix could quietly make it more expensive for the people it’s meant to help. Plus: record IEB results, a widening trade gap with China, and a quick history lesson on why some of us still talk about “Standard 5”. Business Bagel:InstagramTikTokMore From Us:Whatsapp Channel ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠SpotifyApple Podcast
