Prof Adrian Saville: Most big companies in Africa are taking something out (minerals) or taking things in. We need inclusive, impactful companies in-country. For this you need network infrastructure. Whoever builds it will command the economic & social height.

RMB Economist Isaah Mhlanga: South Africa is incredibly well-connected in terms of trade. But we lose out in Human and Social Development because of our high unemployment rate and inequality. This is useful for policy makers to tell them what we need to do.

The report finds that our big advantage is Market Access and Innovation, where we come first. But we fall down in Social and Human Development. Zimbabwe scores higher than us in that category. It says so much about our society.

A Judge has ruled government cannot force doctors to work in certain places. This might have a huge impact on the NHI. Will this coalition government ever agree on the NHI? Should it be implemented? #SAfmSunrise @SAfmRadio

Several former Transnet officials are accused of inflating the prices of breathalyser straws from 29 cents each, to R29. This happened in 2020, and their case is only starting now. Why is justice so slow in our country? #SAfmSunrise @SAfmRadio

It looks like Action SA will help the ANC to elect the ANC’s Dada Morero as Joburg Mayor. Do you see the national coalition coming into local government? Will it help anything? #SAfmSunrise @SAfmRadio
