Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jazz in the Lights Music Festival
Q: What can we look forward to this weekend?
The event will feature a flagship Art-a-Life initiative with a vast lineup of jazz artists, a family-friendly festival at the zoo, and a guided tour experience for VIP ticket holders, all within a lively cultural program.
South Africa’s economic outlook amid middle east tensions
Q: What immediate risks does South Africa face due to refinery capacity reductions?
South Africa is more dependent on imported final products like diesel, which raises costs due to shipping and insurance, underscoring the need to reassess and potentially expand domestic refinery capacity.
South Africa’s economic outlook amid middle east tensions
Q: Could there be a quick relief in prices if tensions ease or a settlement is reached?
Yes, if the conflict is short-lived or a negotiated settlement reduces risk, oil prices could reverse and decline sharply, easing pressure on petrol costs.
South Africa’s economic outlook amid middle east tensions
Q: What is the likely impact of the Middle East tensions on oil prices and petrol costs in the near term?
Oil prices are likely to stay elevated with potential volatility; petrol prices could rise significantly in the coming months, and the impact on inflation and consumer budgets will depend on how long the conflict lasts and whether there is a quick resolution.
Historic moment: conjoined twins successfully separated in Limpopo
Q: What was the game changer that enabled this to happen locally rather than in a big city?
A change in mindset together with available skills, support from government and the university, and confidence that trained specialists could deliver complex care in public health settings.
