Why the US always wins, veteran CEO on SA’s next move, and how to become a looter

This is Bruce Whitfield’s Business Week, a weekly News24 podcast that respects your time and intelligence. The bestselling author and broadcast legend returns with a new show that focuses on an SA business news story that will still matter in the long run. Whitfield also interviews former Anglo American boss and outgoing chair of Vale Base Metals, Mark Cutifani, who has strong ideas on how South Africa can win in the new world order. Anchor Capital CEO Peter Armitage gives his view on the markets, and why he’s not betting against the US. Certified financial planner Warren Ingram talks you through how doing just one thing this week can get you closer to financial freedom. And then, get the inside track on a hot new South African video game that was recently launched in Los Angeles, and quickly caused a stir. It allows players to steal back real-life cultural African artifacts that are held by collectors outside the continent. CEO Ben Myres of the Joburg gaming company Nyamakop explains how the slick game came about. The podcast is sponsored by Capitec.
