  • 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.

Accretiv doubles down on US industrial property | Webinar
Q: Could you just clarify for investors, are you still expected to achieve the original 7% annual return and 11% uplift at maturity, and is there liquidity to fully repay at maturity in 2027?
We project ongoing returns around 7% annual cash flow, with upside tied to leasing and rising NOI; while the fund structure aims to provide liquidity through diversified portfolio and potential exits, the plan emphasizes steady cash distributions and a prudent approach to timing exits rather to chase extraordinary short-term gains.
SA businesses battered by infrastructure instability - Muhammad Ali
Q: Infrastructure decay is threatening the survival of many South African businesses. How are municipal instability, lack of water, irregular power, and failing logistics affecting businesses, and what practical steps can be taken?
The guest describes a three-pronged approach: adopt standardized, documented governance and accountability practices; implement scalable, tech-enabled processes to identify and address issues quickly (e.g., potholes) with vetted contractors and timely payments; and pursue international standards and anti-corruption certifications (like ISO 37001) to attract foreign investment, while reinforcing leadership accountability to ensure consequences for malfeasance.
Helen Zille: “Johannesburg is on the brink of collapse” — Inside her plan to save SA’s biggest city
Q: We're catching up with her to find out, have her plans changed much?
Helen explains that the situation is worse than anticipated, highlighting deep fiscal holes, misaligned budgets, and the need for expert help and coalition stability to implement reforms.
Jacques Broodryk - AfriForum goes after the elusive Guptas…
Q: What do you think is behind the delay in action on the Gupta matter?
Possible incompetence at the NPA and potential political protection extending to other implicated individuals; AfriForum suspects that people within the system are shielding those involved.
Jacques Broodryk - AfriForum goes after the elusive Guptas…
Q: Is this the first time you've asked for clarification from the prosecuting authorities?
Yes, for this specific matter, although AfriForum has a long history of engaging with the National Prosecuting Authority.
