BN Daybreak: Masie on ABC c-suite shuffle, who really runs crime in SA, a lesson from Yuppiechef

Author: BizNews September 7, 2026 Duration: 15:53
Three senior executives are gone from one of South Africa's flashiest bitcoin bets this week, and the company's new interim boss won't say how big the alleged share manipulation was. An intelligence analyst says the crime bosses everyone is fixated on are just middle management, answering to people we never hear about. Andrew Smith explains what it actually costs to hand your company over to outside money, years after he thought he already knew. A DA mayoral hopeful with a Hawks case behind him makes his pitch on infrastructure over show ponies. And the minister sitting on thousands of empty government buildings explains why the state still pays R6 billion a year to rent from someone else. Plus the latest from Wall Street.
