Why Is South Africa Getting So Expensive? - Episode #150

from Daily Bagel · host Bagel Media

In Today's Show:  South Africa’s inflation rate is at a two-decade low - yet everyday prices still feel stubbornly high, and that disconnect matters more than the headline suggests. The National Lottery’s ethics advisers are now facing clawbacks of their own fees, in a twist that’s almost too ironic. Mr Price’s R10 billion European gamble has rattled shareholders and raised deeper questions about trust and decision-making. Add flight disruptions after severe flooding, a major East African banking play, and workers discovering their pension money never arrived - before we end somewhere unexpected: standing on the highest point in South Africa without realising it.More From Us:⁠Whatsapp Channel⁠ ⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠Apple Podcast⁠
