Samwu inks above-inflation wage agreement in the water industry

The SA Municipal Workers' Union (Samwu) has reached a one-year pay deal for a 7% raise for workers in the water industry represented in the Amanzi Bargaining Council. The growth rate surpasses the inflation rate of 5.2% observed in April and May. The largest municipal union, Samwu, which represents more than 160,000 of the almost 300,000 municipal employees in the nation, and the water boards of South Africa have an agreement that will last from July 1 to June 30, 2025. Speaking about this arrangement with host Motheo Khoaripe is national media officer Papikie Mohale. The escalation of geopolitical risks brought about by the continuing conflicts, which started with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and proceeded with the outbreak of hostilities in the Middle East. Due to this, there is now a greater demand for gold, which is often regarded as a safe haven asset. The rush for protection, the increase in gold recycling, worries about inflation, and central bank purchases are additional motivators. Morningstar South Africa's Senior Investment Analyst Michael Kruger goes into further detail on this in a lengthy interview with host Motheo Khoaripe. In May 2024, mining production decreased. Seasonally adjusted mineral sales at current prices decreased by 8.0% from April 2024 to the same month in 2024. Nonetheless, sales did exhibit a noteworthy trend, increasing by 9.8% in May compared to April. Following monthly fluctuations of 8.9% in March and -0.2% in April, this occurred. Host Motheo Khoaripe chats with Sitef & Co. founder and director Mihlali Sitefane to provide more details. In South Africa, there have been several odd weather events in recent months. These have included tornadoes that are unique in the KwaZulu-Natal area of South Africa, floods in the Eastern Cape, and mid-latitude cyclones in the Western Cape. The increase in global temperature resulting from a rise in carbon emissions is one of the primary causes of climate change. 2024 is one of the two years in which temperatures have reached record highs. Lee-Anne Bac, Director, Tourism Specialist Unit, BDO South Africa, talks about the extent of the damage with host Motheo Khoaripe. Scientists have criticized the government's most recent census, arguing that it is so flawed that it cannot be relied upon to track the success of critical programs like children's vaccinations or to allocate cash and resources. Stats SA's projection of 62 million people for the 2022 census is exaggerated by one million, and there are similarly significant discrepancies at the district and municipal levels. Dr. Pali Lehohla, a former statistician-general from South Africa, shares the tale with host Motheo Khoaripe. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

SA medical marijuana company Cilo Cybin is aiming for greater holdings and maybe a US listing. The R89-billion misery of petrol prices in South Africa

In the near future, Cilo Cybin Holdings intends to make other acquisitions in the biotech and medical cannabis industries.The group plans to list as a special purpose acquisition vehicle (SPAC) on the AltX on June 25 and hopes to go public in the US in the coming years. The company is searching both locally and internationally for the acquisition of distribution companies and other branded products. To provide further details, Gabriel Theron, the founder and CEO of Cilo Cybin, speaks to host Motheo Khoaripe.  In the current fiscal year, the government anticipates earning over R89 billion from the general gasoline charge, which brings its total revenue over the last ten years to over R730 billion. Although this month's high prices for gasoline and diesel provided some respite for South Africans, the cost of fuel is still more than 50% more than it was two years ago and almost twice as high as it was ten years ago. Telkom SA SOC Limited has released enhanced financial statements for the fiscal year that concluded on March 31, 2024, demonstrating a more resilient and powerful operational performance from the business. Despite inflationary pressures, the positive outcomes are achieved. The sustained demand for next-generation offerings was the primary driver of increased operating margins. The Montana facility was purchased by Sibanye-Stillwater shortly before palladium prices surged. They have since collapsed, and the business is now compelled to renegotiate agreements related to its enormous debt. Arnold van Graan, Head of Market Research at Nedbank, joins host Motheo Khoaripe to explain the ins and outs of this deal See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
