[Audio Pod] Should SA Pursue Rare Earths, and Is FIFA WC26 Worth It
Loading player...
In our Useful Updates, we have rapid fire conversations covering several major updates in 60 seconds or less. We even time ourselves to ensure maximum accuracy. This week, we look at South Africa's Integrated Resource Plan, the great heist of French Jewels, and @Walmart finally coming to SA.
For our Deep Dive, we throw ourselves into the world of rare earth elements. We unpack what all the hype is about, where the strategic benefits could lie and who the big players are at the moment. We also ask the most important question, "Should South Africa pursue this for its development as a nation".
In our Make-It-Make-Sense segment, we try to make sense of some of the latest and bizarre news that has come to light. We share our thoughts on the pronouncement of the National Day of Remembrance in the US and spend time looking at the estimated costs of attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Finally, in our Unfiltered Opinion of the Week, Simon tells the story of how he was asked to leave one of London's most sacred places for expressing his own unfiltered opinions.
