Gold Fields cashes in. Plus: Ocean Basket’s overseas wins 

In this episode, Bruce speaks to Mike Fraser, CEO of Gold Fields, as the gold price surges past $5 000 an ounce and drives a record year for the miner. With profits nearly tripling, boosted by strong bullion prices and production at the new Salares Norte mine in Chile, they unpack what is fuelling gold’s rally, rising mining costs, and how the company is positioning for future growth. Bruce also chats to Grace Harding, CEO of Ocean Basket, about the brand’s global reinvention, from post-COVID restructuring to international expansion and new formats reshaping the South African seafood chain across markets from Cyprus to the Middle East. The episode wraps with a market update from Jean-Pierre Verster, founder and CEO of Protea Capital Management, who breaks down major mining results, commodity trends, and shifting inflation dynamics. Plus, a special tribute to South African futurist and strategist Clem Sunter, with reflections from Chantell Ilbury of Mindofafox. This podcast is sponsored by Capitec.To catch every episode, click the follow and subscribe buttons on News24’s Spotify, Apple, and YouTube podcast channels.
