Millions per hour, and around R76,400 per minute in irregular expenditure costs across municipalities. That is the kind of figure that makes the audit language feel suddenly very real.

262 new stores in this economy. Shoprite is expanding while South Africa is still battling brutal unemployment numbers. More stores mean more people needed to run them, and that makes this more than a retail story. #NumberOfTheDay #eNCA Watch the episode of Number of the Day here:

Why would SAPS shut down the only team dedicated to investigating political assassinations? In this cut, Dasen Thathiah and Pule Letshwiti-Jones unpack the moment the Commission exposed one of the most irrational and dangerous policing decisions in democratic South Africa. No consultation. No understanding of the stakes. A task team disbanded while political killings continued. This decision didn’t just stall investigations; it cost lives. The full episode explains the entire chain of failures behind the shutdown. Watch the full episode here:

The Madlanga Commission didn’t describe corruption; it described cartel behaviour inside South Africa’s law enforcement structures. In this clip, Pule Letshwiti-Jones and Dasen Thathiah unpack testimony that suggests police officers, private security operators and even people with criminal records were embedded in policing operations. No boundaries. No oversight. No accountability. When the people meant to fight organised crime become part of it, the country is in serious trouble.

President Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 Why is one of the biggest financial decisions in South Africa’s democratic history being done so quietly and in secret? We’re talking about R84 billion in public assets, R140 billion in new borrowing and billions more in potential taxpayer funds) No proper national debate. No real public consultation. South Africans deserve transparency. What are you hiding with this Eskom Hld SOC Ltd Transmission restructuring?

In South Africa, total deposits in the banking sector were reported at US$373 billion as of September 2025, in an economy with a GDP of US$443 billion. South Africa’s economy has a structure where economic activity is largely captured by the formal banking sector. By comparison, Zimbabwe’s GDP is estimated at US$53 billion, while total deposits in the banking sector stand at approximately US$4.8 billion, representing less than 10% of economic activity. 💡Zimbabwe’s bank deposits are small, highlighting that Zimbabwe is a cash‑based economy and a trading economy. Businesses in the informal sector are cash‑heavy and operate outside of formal regulatory frameworks. 📺 Watch Tinashe, Ranga Makwata, and Rufaro discuss the banking sectors of Zimbabwe and South Africa to highlight the effectiveness of formal financial systems.

What if the problem is not that young people studied the wrong thing, but that there are simply not enough jobs? That is the tension in this exchange. Nkepile voices the line many South Africans hear all the time, and Duma Gqubule pushes back hard with a different argument: the labour market is not failing because graduates chose badly. It is failing because the economy is not creating work at the scale the country needs. #eNCA #CheckPointPodcast Watch the full episode here:
