Yet many township businesses continue to operate in a challenging environment shaped by regulatory red tape, licensing complexities, infrastructure gaps, and concerns around governance and local service delivery.

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1652856</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1652856</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[At this year’s Africa Energy Indaba in Cape Town currently underway, the conversation around Africa’s energy future is not just about how much electricity can be generated, but how it will be paid for, transmitted and sustained. South Africa alone faces a R450-billion transmission grid expansion challenge, even as electricity access has reached 93% of households. While investment in independent power producers and renewable energy continues to grow across the continent, experts warn that a more difficult structural challenge is emerging, the financial and payment systems that underpin the energy value chain. With municipalities owing Eskom more than R100 billion, and consumer and business arrears to municipalities exceeding R416 billion, can Africa sustainably expand energy supply without fixing billing, revenue collection and digital payment infrastructure.Vincent Maphosa, CEO of Wetility – a South African independent power producer (solar) and fintech infrastructure company explains. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kaya FM </a>]]></description>

		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1651976</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1651976</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[King V is no longer just a governance code for listed giants, it is fast becoming a credibility test for every board that claims to apply it. As capital tightens and lenders scrutinise risk more closely, “apply and explain” is shifting from a compliance exercise to a legal and financial accountability standard. For South Africa’s mid-market firms, the real risk is not failing to adopt King V, but adopting it superficially, because governance theatre will not withstand pressure from courts, investors or credit committees when decisions are challenged. Danie Dörfling-Kruger, Head of Business Development at Moore Infinity helps us understand how King V works. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kaya FM </a>]]></description>

		<title>Budget 2026: From stabilisation to real economic rvhnelief</title>

		<description><![CDATA[South Africa’s 2026 Budget provides a cautiously optimistic economic outlook, signalling early momentum from ongoing structural reforms, improved investor sentiment, and easing inflationary pressures. With growth forecasts gradually rising, tax relief measures introduced to protect disposable income, and a narrowing fiscal deficit, the Budget reflects the government's attempt to balance economic recovery with fiscal discipline. However, while macro indicators are improving, the real test of this Budget will be whether these gains translate into tangible relief for households, stronger job creation, and meaningful business expansion. As the week’s budget conversations come to a close, Gugulethu speaks to FNB Senior Economist, Koketso Mano who shifts focus from policy announcements to implementation and whether South Africa can convert stabilisation into sustained economic growth. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kaya FM </a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a sector where safety, sovereignty and global credibility intersect at 30,000 feet, leadership is not symbolic, it is structural. Today on Pivot Point, we speak to Poppy Khoza, Director of Civil Aviation and head of the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA), re-appointed for a rare third consecutive term. Her presidency of the International Civil Aviation Organisation 2022 General Assembly marked a historic first, the first woman to preside over the Assembly since 1944. But beyond the symbolism lies substance; regulatory reform, audit excellence, gender transformation, and the complex balancing act of safeguarding aviation safety while enabling industry growth in a constrained economic environment. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kaya FM </a>]]></description>

		<title>Kaya Biz: Budget 2026 under the microscope - Part 2</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1650031</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1650031</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[Kaya Biz brings you a comprehensive post-Budget 2026 special, featuring an in-depth, one-on-one conversation with Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana following his address in Cape Town.<br />
<br />
In what is being described as a notably optimistic fiscal package, Budget 2026 delivers inflation-linked adjustments to personal income tax brackets and medical tax credits for the first time in three years, alongside no major new tax hikes. Government says the measures are designed to place more money back into consumers’ pockets, while maintaining fiscal stability after a turbulent 2025 budget cycle.<br />
<br />
But does the Budget offer meaningful financial relief to households and businessesor is it largely technical comfort within constrained public finances?<br />
<br />
The special unpacks the implications for taxpayers, SMEs, healthcare funding, revenue collection and broader business confidence. Joining the discussion are SARS Commissioner Edward Kieswetter, leaders from the business community, financial education experts and market analysts.<br />
<br />
From household purchasing power to SME compliance relief and corporate performance signals, Kaya Biz examines whether Budget 2026 marks a genuine turning point for South Africa’s economic recovery. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kaya FM </a>]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1649092</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[South Africa’s dairy industry is facing mounting pressure as foot and mouth disease (FMD) containment measures begin to spill over into export restrictions on dairy products that industry players insist are scientifically safe. Food producer Clover SA has warned that inconsistent and non-standardised FMD eradication measures applied across provinces are creating regulatory confusion and effectively blocking export markets. The company argues that while FMD is rightly treated as a national disaster requiring strong containment, the current approach is conflating animal disease control with dairy processing standards, two issues governed by different scientific criteria. Jacques van Heerden, an Executive Industrial at Clover helps listeners understand the disconnect between disease control and dairy processing standards. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kaya FM </a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Burnout is often described as the result of taking on too much, too much work, too much responsibility, too many competing priorities. But according to Ronald from HL Consulting, that explanation misses something deeper. He joins the show to unpack why high performers are especially vulnerable to this pattern, and how individuals and organisations can recognise the warning signs before burnout becomes inevitable. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kaya FM </a>]]></description>

		<title>Budget 2026 &amp; VAT</title>
		<link>https://iono.fm/e/1649090</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://iono.fm/e/1649090</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[As South Africa prepares for Budget 2026, attention is shifting not to dramatic tax rate changes, but to the quiet mechanisms through which revenue is protected and expanded. While political resistance makes large VAT rate increases unlikely, SARS appears to be sharpening enforcement, modernising compliance systems, and strengthening audit scrutiny to secure revenue without altering headline tax rates.This raises important questions for businesses, SMEs, and investors: Is South Africa entering an era of enforcement-driven revenue growth rather than rate-driven taxation? And how will this affect economic activity, compliance costs, and small business sustainability?<br />
<br />
To unpack these trends, Gugulethu is joined by Micaela Paschini, Tax Attorney at Tax Consulting South Africa to discuss Budget 2026 and the future of VAT revenue strategy. <a href="http://www.kayafm.co.za/">Kaya FM </a>]]></description>
