Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

InfrastructureMinisterialRoundtable: We chat to minister Tertius Simmers
Q: People have asked me to really ask you the hard questions. Do you think you've given business certainty and that investors will engage with this Vision 2050?
Yes. The architecture and governance are in place to provide certainty, with a visible pipeline of projects and a strong emphasis on delivering outcomes rather than empty promises, which has already attracted substantial investor interest.
The South African Lobbying Association
Q: Abdul, maybe we should start right there. Why is it not enough?
Abdul explains that current gaps include the absence of a dedicated lobbying law or register in South Africa, and the need to distinguish legitimate, evidence-based advocacy from practices that undermine democratic integrity; regulation should build on existing constitutional frameworks and other laws to ensure transparency and accountability.
Africa's youth more optimistic than at any time since the pandemic - but demand jobs and clean government
Q: What shift is observed in how youth view democracy and governance?
There is appreciation for the concept of democracy, but a move away from relying on elections alone; youth want governments that deliver and allow space for self-generated opportunities, including entrepreneurship and non-state leadership.
Africa's youth more optimistic than at any time since the pandemic - but demand jobs and clean government
Q: How should political parties respond to these findings?
Parties should treat youth as allies and co-founders of change, focus on tangible outcomes, reduce red tape to enable enterprise, and engage with the realistic, transaction-based views on foreign investment and sovereignty.
Dischem Foundation Million Comforts
Q: Tell us about a million comforts and why supporting the boy child has become important.
Jacqueline explains that the program extends beyond period poverty to ensure boys are not sidelined, sharing personal observations from handouts and a turning point when a grade 10 student expressed a lack of basic hygiene items, which inspired broader support and partnerships.
