In this morning’s BizNews Briefing, industry experts weigh in on the shifting political and economic landscape, from the U.S. election results to South Africa’s response to rising fraud and systemic corruption. While optimism grows over Trump’s return and its potential business-friendly effects, concerns emerge about South Africa’s position in a changing global order, including the impact of Trump’s policies on U.S.-Africa trade relations and South Africa’s economic future. The conversation also highlights local challenges, from police reforms to the fight against insurance fraud.
