- Description
- $72 is today’s Number of the Day.
That is where Brent crude oil has fallen back toward, taking the market close to pre-war levels after weeks of fear over supply shocks, the Strait of Hormuz and possible global fuel shortages.
Gareth Edwards and Francis Herd unpack why this matters for South Africans.
Francis explains that oil is flowing again through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil routes. That is good news for supply, but it does not mean the risk has disappeared. Some of the fall may still be driven by market speculation, and some analysts believe the price could rise again if shortages or infrastructure damage begin to bite.
The episode then brings the number home.
Because South Africa imports fuel, oil prices feed into transport costs first. From there, pressure can move into food and the wider economy. Gareth asks the question many South Africans care about most: will cheaper oil mean...

- Description
- South Africa’s local government election season is underway, and the first voter registration weekend has raised more questions than answers.
In this episode of Making Sense, Gareth Edwards speaks to political and elections analyst Wayne Sussman about what the early registration numbers really mean.
Wayne argues that the headline total is not enough. In local elections, the real story is where people registered. A surge in a safe stronghold means something very different from a surge in a contested ward, metro or university area.
The conversation moves from online voter registration and youth-heavy wards to KwaZulu-Natal, where 122,314 first-time registrations suggest a province that remains politically alive, contested and unpredictable.
Gareth also asks Wayne about political killings linked by some to the registration period, and whether violence could affect voter confidence ahead of the next registration weekend.

After beating South Korea 1-0 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, South Africa are through to the Round of 32 for the first time. The Class of ’96 gave the country its great AFCON memory. Now the Class of ’26 has given South African football a new World Cup story to hold onto.
In this Bafana-focused episode of Beyond Game Day, Thabiso Sithole and Morena Mothupi unpack the scale of the moment, the emotion behind it, and the bigger question of what comes next.
The hosts reflect on the years when South Africans had almost lost belief in Bafana, the young players now carrying the shirt, and the pressure still hanging over football administration. Morena argues that this generation has changed something deeper than a result: Bafana no longer need to feel smaller than anyone else on the world stage.
But the Round of 32 cannot be the end of the dream.

That is the figure sitting at the centre of South Africa’s latest local government audit warning, as municipalities and metros face renewed scrutiny over irregular expenditure, weak procurement controls and poor financial discipline.
Gareth Edwards and Francis Herd unpack why the number matters beyond the audit report. Francis breaks the figure down into a per-hour and per-minute reality, making the scale of the spending harder to ignore.
But this episode is not only about shock value.
Francis explains what irregular expenditure actually means. It does not always mean money has vanished, and it is not always the same as corruption. It means public money was spent outside the rules, often through non-compliant procurement or weak contract management.
That distinction matters because municipal money is meant to keep basic systems working: water, electricity, roads, maintenance a...

- Are we taking colonialism to space?
In this episode of Anchor Point, Aakash Bramdeo looks at SpaceX, Mars and the possibility that humanity may carry old power systems into the next frontier.
SpaceX’s ambitions are massive: Starlink expansion, space-based AI data centres, Starship rockets and the long-term goal of a permanent human colony on Mars. Aakash puts that into South African perspective by comparing a future Mars settlement of one million people to the size of Soweto.
But the episode’s deeper question is historical.
Aakash compares SpaceX to the Dutch East India Company, looking at the old spice routes, resupply stations, public investment, private corporate influence and the colonial expansion that shaped South Africa’s past. If the VOC had trade routes, armies and resupply points, what happens when private companies begin building infrastructure beyond Earth?
