GUEST - Nkosinathi Mahlangu, Youth Employment Portfolio Head at Momentum Metropolitan
With election day this week - and with the arrival of new political parties on the scene as the ruling party's popularity seems to drop - competition is fiercer than ever as parties campaign relentlessly in an effort to sway votes. And while politicians post their shiny manifestos and are strategically photographed out in communities Doing Good, youth unemployment continues to climb, with more than four out of every ten people aged between 15-34 currently not in employment, education or training.
Has any progress been made since the birth of democracy 30 years ago? Are we too far gone to start to turn this around? And will the upcoming elections make any difference? Nkosinathi Mahlangu, Youth Employment Portfolio Head at Momentum Metropolitan, believes there is reason for optimism - and even despite the latest unemployment stats, he sees green shoots of hope on the horizon. The question is, how will the upcoming elections help or hinder us in turning the youth unemployment problem on its head? Mark as Listened · Kaya FM

GUEST - Paul Byrne - Head of Data and Insights at CareerJunction.
Year-on-year, hiring activity decreased by -11%, compared to Q1:2023.
Over the past two years (Q1:2022 to Q1:2024) hiring activity has declined by -8.1%. Slowing hiring activity evident in the South African recruitment market may be partly attributed to current economic uncertainty. Economic instability or uncertainty, whether domestic or global, can dampen business confidence and investment, leading companies to be cautious about expanding their workforce. Factors such as fluctuations in commodity prices, political instability, or changes in government policies can all contribute to economic uncertainty. Mark as Listened · Kaya FM

GUEST – Marilu Smith – Research consultant at Red Fox Insight

Food is the biggest monthly expense for the majority of South Africa's taxi commuters, but despite high levels of unemployment, many are still able to make ends meet, either through a side hustle, a Sassa grant or through family support. This is among the insights from the latest Kasi411 taxi commuter data (March 2023), generated through a partnership between market research agency, Red Fox Insight, and Sebenza, a new digital platform that offers free Wi-Fi on over 2,000 South African taxis and busses nationwide. As the cost-of-living increases – with food inflation hitting a 14-year high in March of 14.4% – the impact of basic goods and necessary items is putting pressure on consumers’ pockets. So, it comes as no surprise that the Kasi411 data showed that food is the biggest monthly expense for almost half of 698 taxi commuters who were surveyed. Despite this, 42% said they still enjoy smaller luxuries, like purchasing games for their phones. Mark as Listened · Kaya FM

GUEST – Edward Makwana, General Manager of Legacy Motor Group

The pace of transformation within vehicle dealerships remains woefully slow, and urgent action is needed if the automotive industry is to achieve true transformation, warns Mpho Dipela, chair and shareholder of the Legacy Motor Group (LMG).

“A lack of diversity and representation in dealerships has become an increasingly pressing issue within the automotive industry. There are still only a few major black dealer principals within this space rather than achieving broad-based transformation and empowerment, and there is a particular lack of black and female employees at the middle to senior management level,” he says.

“Given the importance of the sector as an economic driver and job creator, industry stakeholders and particularly manufacturers urgently need to increase focus on skills development, job creation and ownership throughout supply chains.”

Demonstrating the significance of the sector, the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa) notes the automotive industry currently accounts for about 4.3% of South Africa’s GDP, 17.3% of the country’s total manufacturing output and represents the fifth-largest export sector.

South Africa has long been described as the “protest capital of the world”. But the protests have largely been confined to townships and informal settlements.

GUEST – Julius Mojapelo the CEO of The Institute of Internal Auditors South Africa

Internal auditing remains pivotal to governance. Internal audit is well placed to complete the assurance reality check. It not only assesses the quality of assurance provided but examines the relevance to the management or governance committee. Internal audit could be the key to preventing corruption and fraud in private and public organisations.

It has traditionally been seen as a monitoring function for businesses and tolerated as a required element of organisational management but considered an obligation to the accomplishment of significant corporate objectives. Its role is to essentially offer value to an organisation.

There are still many challenges faced particularly in the leadership space in our country where more is needed to advocate good governance practices. Professionals in the governance, accounting and auditing sectors have a key role in promoting good governance principles, which lead to improving the productivity of organisations as well as increasing the adoption rate of governance principles throughout South Africa’s economic structures.

Wesley Diphoko is the Editor-In-Chief of FastCompany (SA) magazine talks about A few years ago, a technology incubator in Cape Town decided to establish a version of itself in a township based on pressure to advance transformation in the technology sector and potential to access funding.

This incubator became just another entrepreneurship programme and office space for all kinds of businesses and less about advancing technology in a township environment.

Lately, it has (together with other so called tech startup organisations), coined the term “township tech”, to potentially access funding targeted for tech projects designed to serve township communities.

How do you even begin to term a part of tech as just tech for a certain sector of society? It is disrespectful to single out tech-solving township challenges as “township tech” as if it's different from solving the same issues for the country, continent and the world.

Here’s why such a term is problematic.

Firstly, it limits the ability of a startup labelled as township tech to grow and access funding from investors. Which investor in his right mind will invest seriously in a startup that is labelled “township tech”?

Whoever coined this may have done so with good intentions, but unfortunately the unintended consequences will not do justice to young people in townships solving real challenges in society.

The truth of the matter is that there’s no such thing called township tech in the same way that there’s no “yuppie tech”.

What we have are edu tech, health tech, fintech startups that are solving education, health and financial challenges in the township environment.

A health or education challenge in a township may have minor differences with a similar challenge elsewhere, but it is still a health or education issue. To categorise health solutions with a health tech label irrespective of where they occur is the correct way.

Economic development practitioners should be careful of marginalising people and entrepreneurs around historical terms in the interest of accessing short term funding.

Technological innovations coming out of townships should be categorised correctly to receive global recognition and support. Local townships should be considered hotbeds of innovation. Mark as Done · kaya 959

Sarah Lamb, head of client service at DataEQ talks about Capitec Bank is at risk of losing customers – and if customers make good on their threats to close their accounts and leave, banks like Discovery Bank stand to be the biggest winners.

This is one of the key findings from the latest DataEQ Banking Sentiment Index.

The index is based on over 4 million consumer social media posts about South African banks from 1 September 2021 to 31 August 2022. DataEQ then analysed posts for sentiment and conversation themes.

One big area analysed by the group is churn – the movement of banking customers from one bank to the next – where the analysis of conversation topics looked specifically at author intent.

Acquisition intent speaks to the purchase intent of consumers – ie, customers looking to join a bank – while cancellation intent tracks the threads made by current customers to leave a specific bank, DataEQ said.

The net score – derived by subtracting the acquisition intent from cancellation intent – indicates how likely a bank will see customers leaving or entering their business (churn).

Using this metric, DataEQ’s data shows that among the major banks, Capitec, FNB and Standard Bank are the most likely to see customers leave, with the other banks being more likely to gain new business.

Here, Capitec is the biggest potential loser with a net intent score of -1.7%, while Discovery stands to get the most business with a net intent score of +6.5%. Mark as Done · kaya 959

Janine Horn, financial adviser at Momentum talks about Gender-based violence is an unfortunate reality for too many women in South Africa. We often think that it only includes physical, mental, and emotional abuse. That is simply not the case. Financial abuse is incredibly prevalent in South Africa and exists in a majority of abusive relationships. In fact, financial abuse accounts for 99% of domestic abuse.  

Financial abuse usually occurs in subtle way but can have extremely harmful effects. It is not just prevalent in marriages or life partnerships. It can take place between family members and in the workplace and corporate worlds. It is important to note that there are different forms of financial abuse, and it is even sometimes unknown to those being abused. While getting out of any abusive situation can be challenging, it is not impossible. Mark as Done · kaya 959

Globally, there is a great move for development and support of Small business and Entrepreneurship but this need to be done in an inclusive way which highlights Women-owned businesses – “this is not a theme and topic” isolated to a particular month but one which is an imperative to the developmental agenda, There is a growing body of evidence around the world that shows that gender diversity is linked to innovation in business and economic growth of a country as a whole. 

Therefore, we can’t commemorate Global Entrepreneurship week without reflecting on reality that Women-owned businesses continue to operate under challenging conditions, such as discrimination, economic exclusion exploitation, and stereotypes.

A week dominated by two major themes, central banks, and locally, Eskom. As expected, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised rates 75 basis points (bps) Fed Chair Jerome Powell sounded suitably hawkish on curbing inflation in his news conference, but also dropped guidance on the size of the next rate rise and noted that "at some point" it would be appropriate to slow down. Since the Federal Reserve began what is now the fastest rate of rate hikes since 1981, it has provided meticulous detail about its future plans to tighten monetary policy. On Wednesday, that changed, with Chairman Jay Powell announcing that the US central bank would balk at offering an official running commentary on its quest to stamp out soaring inflation. By shaking hands so far, policymakers have tried to manage investor expectations and avoid periods of extreme market volatility. But the Fed has been set on fire by laying out its plans piece by piece, only to hastily change course as inflation spiralled further out of control. And the president announced his long awaited electricity plan to wide acclaim.

The final report of the Zondo Commission into State Capture: with the handing over by Chief Justice Raymond Zondo of his 1800 page final report to President Cyril Ramaphosa in Wednesday the lengthy and tortuous road towards uncovering the truth about state capture corruption and fraud in SA has now reached a long-awaited formal interrogative conclusion. Although the Zondo Commission has often been criticized for not meeting its deadlines, after nearly four years of investigation by the Zondo Commission the massive and cumulative amount of evidence revealed by it nonetheless remains overwhelmingly large to manage. Globally, gauges of factory activity in Japan, Britain, the euro zone and United States all softened in June, with U.S. producers reporting the first outright drop in new orders in two years in the face of slumping confidence. read more Bonds rallied hard on hopes the bets on aggressive rate hikes would have to be curtailed, with German two-year yields down 22 basis points in their biggest drop since 2008.

It’s been frantic week in the political economy with the dirty tricks bag being emptied against a reforming president clamping down on corruption. Shortly after the arrest of former Transnet CEO Siyabonga Gama, disgraced former spy boss Arthur Fraser who was so central to former president Zuma’s State Capture network as outlined by journalist Jacques Pouw in President’s keepers, played the RET factions hand with curious looking charges of covering up theft against President Cyril Ramaphosa, which he has strongly denied while serious questions remain. Then this week the arrest of two of the Gupta brothers in Dubai. The NPA now has 60 days within which to apply for extradition and for all the unanswered questions seems seriously caught on the back foot here. And last night, the president played his own gambit, suspending public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane with immediate effect. The move came a day before judgment in her case today seeking to block him from doing so. It’s a high stakes game that the ANC is playing with the future of the country and delicate balance of the economy which is starting to show some encouraging pockets of green shoots as reform in energy starts to take hold as evidenced by the registration of 16 IPPs under the 100MW self gen exemption this week. And with first quarter GDP growth surprising markedly but subsequent high frequency data in mining, manufacturing and confidence disappointing.
