BN Briefing: Jo'burg a “ticking time bomb”, SA's nuclear questions, Coleman says Africa hit hard by Mideast conflict

Helen Zille warns Johannesburg’s infrastructure is nearing systemic collapse, with budgets skewed towards operating costs instead of maintenance. The market update then tracks a tough year for Hulamin, political pressure on Palantir in the US, a large Glencore share award for CEO Gary Nagle, and ASP Isotopes’ faster-than-expected progress at the former Renergen project. Chris Steyn speaks to nuclear veteran Dr Kelvin Kemm on South Africa’s nuclear capability and safeguards, before Colin Coleman warns the Iran-war oil shock could be “devastating” for many African economies.
