Summary

On this week’s Bizskoops: Consumer confidence in South Africa has improved slightly and Eskom reports improved financial performance. Chris Hattingh from the Centre for Risk Analysis unpacks why he thinks there might be a spike in inflation in April. Professor Waldo Krugell talks about why South Africa still struggles with food insecurity, despite having a thriving agriculture sector. Australia and the European Union signed a major free trade agreement to reduce reliance on China, and locally Netcare has reported a modest improvement in trading performance, despite ongoing pressure in the medical scheme environment. Jared Gray, the Executive Manager of Business Planning at the Gautrain Management Agency (GMA), shares how the agency’s mandate has expanded beyond operating a rapid rail system to include other important services related to transport.
