Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nedbank Business Ignite with 702 - Level180 (Pty) Ltd
Q: Tell us what problem you were trying to solve.
We aimed to improve how businesses approach B2B sales by moving from generic presentations to a client-centric process that prioritizes understanding the customer's needs and delivering measurable value through trained, capable sales teams.
SARS outlines key rules, risks and deadlines for 2026 filing season
Q: As 2026 tax season gets underway, what is your overall message to taxpayers?
The main message is that 6 million taxpayers will be auto-assessed and do not need to do anything; SARS will communicate with them and process auto assessments using data accumulated from multiple providers to ensure accuracy.
Corporates That Care - Lottoland
Q: Do tell us, this is always my question when we start this conversation, why are you a corporate that cares?
We started in 2021 with a TV show to support villages after the pandemic, focusing on funded, community-led projects that municipalities approve; the aim is to create lasting impact by empowering residents to identify needs and manage improvements themselves.
The Political Desk: SCOPA continues fight for accountability in government
Q: For anyone missed the context, what is the gist of the affidavit and the funding confusion around NYDA's involvement in the court action?
Beasley notes that the affidavit indicates actions were taken in a personal capacity and that the NYDA funding was implicated, which challenges the narrative and suggests deliberate misrepresentation.
The Political Desk: SCOPA continues fight for accountability in government
Q: There's so many issues we could touch one by one in terms of Scopa proceedings this week, but I'm particularly interested, as a media practitioner, about the NYDA and their issue with the Sunday Times journalist.
Alan Beasley explains that using state resources to gag the press is unacceptable, and highlights that the matter appears to be driven by personal capacity claims rather than entity policy, prompting questions about transparency and accountability.
