Primary purpose for my annual trip to Cape Town was today’s Budget Speech. I’ll spend the morning in lockup so we’ll be ready to publish all the key points on BizNews.com immediately after the finmin starts speaking at 2pm today.
In truth, annual Budgets come and go. In a few years’ time it’s unlikely that much of what Enoch Godongwana says today will be imprinted in the memory banks. But what happened yesterday most definitely will be.
Being here enabled an in-person interview with Prof Tim Noakes, the outspoken hero to millions of South Africans who ascribe improved health to his promotion of the Low Carb High Fat diet (Banting). For even more, Noakes is admired for turning his back on the establishment – because after discovering he was wrong, he recanted his own beliefs that had made him the poster boy of an entire industry.
It’s a memorable interview. In-depth, inspirational and candid. Typical Noakes. Treat yourself. Here’s the link: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5q3pcJogCCzkl973APMqix
