- Description
- R8 billion is today’s Number of the Day.
That is the headline figure behind a warning every working South African with a pension deduction should take seriously.
Gareth Edwards and Aakash Bramdeo unpack the growing concern around employers who deduct retirement fund contributions from workers’ salaries but do not pay that money over to the relevant pension funds.
The figure comes from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority, which has published a list of employers reported to be in arrears. The FSCA says total arrears are estimated at R8.33 billion, affecting approximately 590 000 retirement fund members.
The episode turns that big number into a personal question.
If your payslip shows a pension deduction, where did that money actually go?
Aakash explains how cash-flow problems can lead some employers to delay payments, and why that becomes dangerous when the business never recovers. Gareth asks whether th...

In this special edition of Beyond Game Day, Thabiso Sithole sits down with Comrades Champion 2026 George Kusche for a conversation about the comeback, calculation and cost behind one of South Africa’s most demanding sporting victories.
George opens up about life beyond running, including his family, his work as a data scientist, and the childhood sporting path that once made him believe rugby was his future. He also reflects on the ten-month layoff that saw him gain 21kg, the lifestyle change that followed, and the 2025 Comrades experience that taught him fitness alone is not enough.
The heart of the episode is the hill. George explains how studying the course helped him know exactly what was coming at Pollys, and why that knowledge allowed him to turn a danger point into the decisive move of the race.

- Do elections still work in South Africa?
Nkepile Mabuse sits down with Masego Sheburi, Deputy CEO for Electoral Operations at the IEC, for a sharp and practical CheckPoint conversation about voter trust, municipal elections, youth participation and why many South Africans feel voting has not changed their daily lives.
The discussion opens with a major warning: only 49% of eligible voters say they would cast their ballots if an election were held tomorrow. Sheburi says voters do not
judge democracy through slogans or speeches. They judge it through water, electricity, living standards, local services and whether participation has improved their personal circumstances.
Nkepile pushes the difficult questions. Are voters punishing the ANC? Has voter education failed? Why do people protest municipal problems almost daily, but still treat local government elections as less important than national elections?
Sheburi argues that ...

That is the reported cost linked to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding, a celebrity event that turned one private day into a global conversation about money, access and spectacle.
Gareth Edwards and Aakash Bramdeo start with the number itself, before translating it into South African terms: about R325 million. That conversion changes the story immediately. Suddenly, a Hollywood-style wedding headline becomes a local money question. What does it mean to spend hundreds of millions of rand on one day?
The conversation moves through the reported scale of the event, Swifties gathered outside, secrecy, comparisons with royal weddings and the strange tension of a ceremony that captured public attention while remaining largely hidden from public view.
The hosts also ask where the value sits in a modern celebrity wedding. Is it the venue, the security, the guest list, the fashion, the official...
