In today's BizNews Daybreak, we examine South Africa’s legislative shift toward a merit-based public service to combat state capture and political patronage. Globally, we cover Tesla’s massive $25 billion AI investment and the escalating naval conflict between the US and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. Finally, we analyse Capitec’s impressive resilience as it transitions to a new leadership team, Remgro’s multibillion-rand exit from FirstRand and Chubb’s record-breaking quarterly earnings.
