KYC Under Pressure: When Documentation Delays Become Customer Flight
Know-your-customer rules were written to keep bad money out of the financial system. They were not written for a customer whose documents are correct today and unrecoverable next week. That is the pressure now bearing on South African banks and fintechs: returnees and...
The records that decide what happens when a domestic job ends
When a domestic-work arrangement in South Africa ends in a dispute, or when a worker is injured on the job, the households that kept records and the households that did not end up in very different places. One produces a folder; the other produces an argument. Most...
Seven Safety Checks Before a Domestic Cleaning Job
Most injuries in domestic work are neither freak accidents nor mysteries; they are the wet floor, the wrong chemical mix, the chair used as a ladder and the locked gate in an emergency, and they are predictable enough to be caught before the work starts. A short check...
The Home Is a Workplace, and Its Safety Rules Are Not Optional
The woman who cleans a house in Johannesburg works in a place the law now calls a workplace, even though it has a kitchen, a family and a gate instead of a reception desk. That is a recent change, and it matters, because the hazards she faces - chemicals, wet floors,...
Boardroom Refresh: How MTN Stacked Its Board With New Independents
A board refresh is the easiest governance change to announce and the hardest to get right. Most listed groups treat director succession as a slow drip of one-at-a-time replacements; the risk is that institutional memory ossifies while the markets the company serves...

Blue Economy growth agenda across SADC — policy and strategy logic and what comes next
Regional blocs produce declarations far more easily than they produce operational law. That is the standing contradiction in SADC's institutional history, and it is the lens through which the outcomes of the 3rd Africa Blue Economy Week, held in Luanda from 22 to...
Angolan kwanza in RTGS across SADC — capital and bankability across SADC member states
Every currency added to a real-time settlement system creates a liability somewhere. A bank that agrees to settle Angolan kwanza directly must hold kwanza balances, fund nostro accounts in Luanda, and accept exposure to a currency that has, over the past decade, been...
Angolan kwanza in RTGS across SADC: built-market implications — for regional operators
Payment systems are infrastructure in exactly the same sense that a rail corridor or a border post is infrastructure — invisible until it fails, and decisive for whether physical trade routes actually function as an integrated economic system rather than a set of...
Blue Economy growth agenda — agrifood value-chain opportunity — for regional operators
Fish is agrifood, but SADC's institutions rarely treat it that way. Fisheries governance sits with maritime and environment portfolios, agriculture ministries manage crops and livestock, and the value chains that connect a landed catch to a processed, packaged,...
Angolan kwanza in RTGS across SADC — farm-to-market implications — and what comes next
Agricultural trade across SADC borders runs on thinner margins and longer payment cycles than almost any other sector in the bloc's commerce, which makes it unusually exposed to exactly the kind of currency friction that a settlement-system change can either ease...

Blue Economy growth agenda across SADC: the evidence and archive — and what comes next
Every regional policy claim eventually rests on a document somebody can point to, and the useful newsroom question about the 3rd Africa Blue Economy Week, held in Luanda from 22 to 25 July, is not what officials said from the podium but what the underlying record...

Angolan kwanza in RTGS across SADC — the lived regional economy for regional operators
A tourist changing money at an airport kiosk, a tour operator invoicing a South African client in rand for a package built around Angolan destinations, an airline settling interline fares across a shared regional booking system — none of these everyday transactions...
Angolan kwanza in RTGS across SADC — the definitive newsroom guide and what comes next
