- 10% is today’s Number of the Day.
That is how far South Korea’s benchmark stock market fell in a sharp crash that triggered a trading halt and sent anxiety through global tech markets.
Gareth Edwards and Francis Herd unpack why this number matters beyond South Korea. Francis explains how trading halts work when markets fall too quickly, and why panic selling can turn a normal correction into something far more dangerous.
The episode then moves into the bigger story: artificial intelligence.
South Korea’s market has been powered by chipmakers tied to the AI boom, including Samsung and SK Hynix. But after a major rally, investors are asking whether valuations have run too far, too fast.
Gareth asks the obvious question: is this the AI bubble bursting?

- Nkepile Mabuse sits down with physicist Prof. Andrew Forbes for a fascinating CheckPoint conversation about quantum internet, light-based communication, encryption, Starlink and South Africa’s digital future.
Forbes explains how today’s internet already depends on light through fibre optics, Wi-Fi and satellite systems. He then unpacks the next big idea: using patterns of light to carry far more information through communication systems. Instead of only asking whether light is on or off, this technology asks what the light looks like.
The episode explores how this could dramatically increase bandwidth, why quantum communication could change cybersecurity, and why today’s encryption systems may not survive the arrival of working quantum computers.
Nkepile also asks whether Forbes’ work is a threat to Elon Musk and Starlink, how South Africa is already part of quantum experiments involving China, and whether the country could build a new qua...

- 25 is today’s Number of the Day.
That is the number of production shifts affected by interrupted or unavailable water at Libstar’s Dickon Hall Foods facility in Johannesburg.
Gareth Edwards and Francis Herd unpack why this number matters beyond one food factory. Dickon Hall Foods makes wet food products like sauces and chutneys, where water is not a nice-to-have. Without a reliable supply, production cannot simply continue as normal.
Francis explains that the company was already planning to integrate the Johannesburg operation with Montagu Foods in the Western Cape. But water shortages and labour challenges still contributed to disruption and under-recovered manufacturing costs.
Gareth then brings the story home: water had to be trucked in, the business absorbed a reported R17-million operating shortfall, and 25 shifts were not productive.
The episode widens into a bigger Joburg question.
