8 July 2013, Monday

In this edition of Classic Business at 18h00, Glenn Lewington broadcast the business and economic news of the day followed by up-to-date financial indicators, and the Classic Business and News teams reported on the day’s news including Metrobus workers going on strike. Glenn Lewington also conducted in-depth interviews with the people making the news: Emilio Pera, Financial Services Sector Leader at Ernest & Young on their latest banking confidence index; Matthew D. Pirnie, Primary Credit Analyst at Standard & Poor's on their latest banking industry country risk assessment for South Africa; John Riddler, Communications at the Cullinan Group; Jacques du Toit, Property Analyst at Absa Home Loans on their latest house price index; and Paul O'Flaherty, Financial Director at Eskom on delays for Medupi to go online. Market Analyst Mia Kruger, Equity Analyst and Portfolio Manager at Kruger International provided commentary on Amplats being hit by wildcat strikes, a price pinch hitting South Africa's fading gold sector, no escaping the United States Federal Reserve’s possible end of monetary stimulus, the performance of the Dollar and the Rand coming under pressure. In the second half of the programme at 18h30, Glenn chaired a one-hour discussion on the weekly topic, namely "The upcoming 2013 Metropolis Annual Meeting" (with a focus on smart cities) with guests Geoff Makhubo, Acting Mayor, and Member of the Mayoral Committee at the City of Johannesburg; Lucky Kwele, Industry Consultant for Public Sector at Gijima; Lubabalo Dyantyi, Senior General Manager for Public Sector at Dimension Data Middle East and Africa; Arthur Goldstuck, Managing Director at World Wide Worx with commentary by Lisa Sestel, Executive Director for Transport at Rea Vaya.
