1 Legal Practitioners Fidelity Fund’s efforts to address the problem of consumers funds being stolen from trusts. 11:53
GUEST - Simthandile Myemane - Legal Practitioners Fidelity Fund's Support Practitioner Manager. Trust is the cornerstone of any legal transaction, but in South Africa, that trust has been shaken by a growing number of cases involving attorneys who steal funds held in trust on behalf of clients. In 2023 alone, an alarming R1.4 billion was reported stolen from trust accounts, highlighting a serious breach in the legal system and leaving many consumers financially and emotionally devastated. What many members of the public don't realize, however, is that there is recourse. The Legal Practitioners Fidelity Fund (LPFF) exists specifically to protect the public from such misconduct by legal professionals. It not only offers a pathway for victims to recover stolen funds but also plays a crucial role in holding dishonest lawyers accountable through legal action. Last year, the LPFF dealt with 290 cases involving defaulting attorneys—47 of which went to trial, with several others progressing into 2024. Encouragingly, 14 attorneys were successfully prosecuted and convicted for their misconduct. Kaya FM…
GUEST – Elize Kruger, Independent Economist. In recent months, South Africa’s take-home pay landscape has undergone a noticeable shift, with the average nominal salary dipping in March 2025 despite a broader trend of year-on-year improvement. This change comes amid a complex mix of local and global challenges, from intensifying geopolitical trade tensions and slowing international growth, to domestic economic strain marked by persistent inflationary pressures, political uncertainty, and an increasingly cautious consumer base. In this conversation, we delve into the reasons behind the recent moderation in take-home pay, explore how salary earners are navigating the ongoing volatility, and assess what lies ahead for employment, earnings, and economic confidence.

GUEST – Siphesihle Zwane, portfolio manager at Allan Gray. The idea of owning property is significant in South Africa – for various reasons – and it is often seen as the safest bet, especially when markets are in turmoil. But owning a stake in a listed property company is very different from investing in a residential property. South African listed property has shifted from being a leading wealth creator in the early 2000s to one of the weakest performers over the past decade on the back of sluggish economic growth, ongoing infrastructure challenges and the impact of COVID-19 on retail and office space demand. Over the last year, the sector has shown signs of recovery. Is it time to cement the opportunity, or should it be approached with caution? Allan Gray portfolio manager Siphesihle Zwane joins Kaya Biz to discuss the performance of the sector and share some of the considerations long-term investors should keep in mind when exploring opportunities in listed property. Kaya FM…

GUEST – Isaac Matshego – Nedbank Senior Economist SARB's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) left the repo rate at 7.50% at its March meeting, following cuts of 25 bps at each of the previous 3 meetings. While the MPC expected inflation to remain contained over the short term but feared that a global trade war could unsettle the rand and lead to renewed price pressures over the medium term. The MPC probably also took note of the Fed’s growing caution, understanding that a prolonged pause or even tighter monetary policy by the Fed could amplify the downward pressure on the rand. While stressing the upside risks, SARB nonetheless lowered its inflation forecasts to only 3.6% in 2025 and 4.5% in 2026 and 2027. The central bank expected lower oil prices to dampen the impact of the VAT rate hike, a weaker rand, and higher electricity tariffs over the short term.GUEST – Isaac Matshego – Nedbank Senior Economist SARB's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) left the repo rate at 7.50% at its March meeting, following cuts of 25 bps at each of the previous 3 meetings.

GUEST – Horacia Naidoo-McCarthy, a manager in the Institutional Clients team at Allan Gray As US President Donald Trump announced steep tariffs earlier this month, global share markets sold off massively. Investors were clearly rattled by the potential impact that these tariffs could have on global trade and shifted their portfolios accordingly. As with COVID-19, understandably, many investors reacted emotively and locked in permanent losses as a result. Extreme situations make us feel like we have to do something different to respond to the current moment; but perhaps the best course of action is to stick to the basics and follow the logic that has proven to pay off over long time periods. Horacia Naidoo-McCarthy, a manager in the Institutional Clients team at Allan Gray, joins Kaya Biz to share some long-term lessons on navigating extreme volatility – based on what we have seen in the past.

1 TIKTOK Trends: Should you buy luxury brands from original luxury stores or from Chinese suppliers? 20:52
GUEST - Michael Zahariev, co-founder of Luxity and Thebe Ikalafeng – Founder of Brand Africa Social media has once again sparked a major conversation, this time, around the luxury goods industry. Recent viral videos on platforms like X and TikTok are pulling back the curtain on just how many high-end items from handbags to watches are actually being manufactured in China, even when sold under iconic European or American brand names. As consumers become more aware of where their luxury items are made, the question being asked is: why pay top dollar at a flagship store when many of the same products seem to come out of the same factories as more affordable alternatives?
