  • The best of the money show

    I would give this a 5 star if it was not for the admin issues with this podcast. Every few weeks all these episodes do not appear on this podcast but on his "Money Show" podcast. Then I use his full show on his other podcast, "Money Show", and then they decide to play all the episodes on "The Best of the money show" podcast again. This has been going on for years. Makes a person crazy. Wake up and fire whoever is managing you podcasts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Best of the Money Show: Influencer boom, leadership burnout
Q: How do influencers disclose sponsorships in posts?
Creators can explicitly state they were gifted products or paid collaborations, and many use clear hashtags or phrasing like paid collaboration; generally, disclosures are common in most local creator posts.
The Best of the Money Show: Influencer boom, leadership burnout
Q: Is there any regulation around influencers?
Yes, there are codes of conduct and disclosure requirements in many markets, with engines like IAB in South Africa; creators are expected to declare when content is paid or gifted, and brands and intermediaries police this to maintain transparency.
Market commentary with Siya Mbatha: 29th June 2026
Q: I noticed Discovery today had quite a significant drop and I couldn't see any news flow.
The weakness appears to be driven by a broader operating environment and downgrade pressures rather than a fundamental change in Discovery's business model, though it remains one of the better performers on the JSE over longer horizons.
Market commentary with Siya Mbatha: 29th June 2026
Q: NASPAS and Process AI is really beginning to work for them, it seems.
Yes, that seems to be the case and the latest results show the transformation from a smaller holding company into a diversified global tech business, which investors are noticing.
Naspers on AI, growth and record earnings
Q: How does AI affect your employment levels—are you reducing headcount or creating more roles to support AI initiatives?
We've been on an AI journey for years, optimizing delivery and fraud across platforms, and with advances like Gentic AI, there's a need for more AI engineers and tech talent to build and operate these systems. While some efficiencies reduce repetitive work, the focus is on driving revenue growth and operating cost savings, with people shifting to more advanced roles.
