Summary
In this episode of Bruce Whitfield's Business Week, Bruce unpacks rising global tensions and their local impact as oil prices surge and South Africa faces sharply higher fuel costs amid an uncertain ceasefire in the Middle East. David Mignot, CEO of Canal+ Africa, joins the show to discuss stabilising MultiChoice post-acquisition and what the future of pay TV looks like as satellite, streaming and changing consumer habits reshape the industry. Michelle Royston, founder and CEO of Waxit, shares how a niche, single-service model has grown into a national franchise, with a new micro-franchise approach that turns employees into business owners. And Meryl Pick, portfolio manager at Old Mutual Investment Group, discusses navigating a world where crises are becoming the norm and why investors may need to rethink traditional strategies.
