    Executive pay climbs as performance bonuses soar & What kind of owner does De Beers need to survive?

    Stephen Grootes speaks to Leila Ebrahimi, PwC Reward Partner about rising executive pay at South Africa’s largest listed companies. PwC’s latest Directors Remuneration and Trends report shows median CEO remuneration increased 9% to R23.2 million, while CFO pay rose 7% to R13.5 million, largely driven by performance-linked bonuses and long-term incentives. With shareholder support for executive pay strengthening, the findings raise questions about whether these increases reflect genuine value creation, how they compare with ordinary workers’ earnings and whether companies are doing enough to address pay inequality and the lack of diversity in top leadership positions. In other interviews, Paul Zimnisky, Independent diamond industry analyst talks about what kind of owner De Beers needs to revive its fortunes, as Cartier owner Richemont reportedly considers joining a consortium bidding for the diamond giant. With weak rough diamond prices, declining demand and growing competition from lab-grown stones, the proposed deal raises questions about whether luxury jewellery groups can help restore the value of natural diamonds, and what Richemont stands to gain from securing a stake in one of the world's biggest diamond producers.

    PwC forecasts further decline for traditional TV and Is Cosatu still relevant to workers?

    Stephen Grootes speaks to Charles Stuart, Africa Entertainment and Media Leader at PwC, about the changing television landscape as streaming platforms gain ground on traditional broadcasters. PwC’s Africa Entertainment and Media Outlook forecasts streaming revenue growth of 7.6% annually in South Africa through 2030, compared with 15.9% in Kenya and 20.4% in Nigeria. While traditional television revenue is declining in South Africa, it continues to grow in Kenya and Nigeria. In other interviews, Dr Ongama Mtimka, Acting Director of the Raymond Mhlaba Centre for Governance and Leadership at Nelson Mandela University talks about whether Cosatu remains relevant to South African workers following a turbulent leadership contest. With unemployment, retrenchments and rising living costs putting workers under pressure, questions remain about Cosatu’s ability to overcome internal divisions, maintain its political influence and effectively represent workers’ interests.

    Boxer turnover rises to R24.1bn & Why higher bond yields aren’t rattling equity markets

    Stephen Grootes speaks to Boxer CEO Marek Masojada about the retailer’s interim results, with turnover rising 6.3% to R24.1 billion and trading profit increasing 8.1% to R1 billion. Despite constrained consumer spending and continued selling-price deflation, Boxer grew headline earnings by 9.1% and opened its 600th store. In other interviews, John Stopford, Head of Multi-Asset Income at Ninety One, about why global share markets have remained resilient despite a sharp rise in government bond yields. Higher yields typically put pressure on equities by increasing the cost of capital and offering investors an alternative to shares, but strong growth expectations, AI and data-centre investment, and robust corporate profits have helped offset that pressure.
