  • Facts? Not so sure

    Alec is prone to repeating Trump “alternative facts”, most recently that China has no wind power when they actually have over 600 GW! What kind of financial journalist doesn’t read the Economist - “The idea that China abjures wind power at home is just nonsense—it leads the world in wind capacity. That it sells a lot of turbines elsewhere is good business.” Nov 3, 2025

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why UK property still appeals to SAns: Undersupply, 7–8% net yields, low rates – Mikayla Morkel-Brink
Q: Is the UK still considered a strong and stable property market for South African investors?
Yes. The market is described as resilient, supported by limited supply and strong demand, with credible projections for continued growth in the coming years, especially in regional cities.
BizNews tribe member duped by deepfake Alec Hogg on 'Carte Blanche' loses R24,000 in AI-powered scam
Q: So what platform did you see the ad on, what exactly first caught your attention about it?
The platform looked legitimate at first; the ad and the site appeared credible, which prompted me to investigate and consider investing.
(Ret.) Col Chris Wyatt: War news, fuel price hike — and the ANC facing its worst ever election
Q: What can you tell us about Trump's peace plan?
They are reviewing it but find the demands excessive, especially the push for nuclear containment, while recognizing the need to remove a destabilizing program and move forward on diplomacy; the plan is seen through a lens of pressure and risk management rather than simple concessions.
Eskom's nuclear nightmare returns: Zuma-era ghost returns to haunt St Francis
Q: What do you see as the major obstacles to moving forward with a nuclear project in this area?
Obstacles include a contested siting history, potential political and economic pressures, legal challenges, and a need for a comprehensive, apples-to-apples comparison of alternatives, not just a single-site approach.
Eskom's nuclear nightmare returns: Zuma-era ghost returns to haunt St Francis
Q: What makes Thyspunt and Bantamsle contentious sites beyond the immediate nuclear question?
Beyond nuclear, the sites involve biodiversity, heritage, and water security considerations, with Thyspunt near a cradle of humankind location and a complex dune field system, making the environmental footprint a central issue.
