Why South Africa’s Defence Force Is In Serious Trouble - Episode #130

from Daily Bagel · host Bagel Media

In Today's Show:  South Africa’s defence force is straining at the seams, with only a small band of soldiers fit to deploy and Parliament still in the dark about what’s really going on. In business, SPAR joins a growing list of South African retailers pulling back from costly foreign ventures, while Eskom scrambles to keep the ferrochrome industry from shutting down entirely. In other news: China’s record trade surplus, a G20 accreditation snub, and the ANC’s internal election shake-up. And in the wildcard: the real reason Durban and Cape Town feel like two different countries when you step into the water. More From Us:Whatsapp Channel ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠SpotifyApple Podcast
