The JSE has lost 514 companies since 1989 and 14 municipalities face possible power cuts by Eskom

Stephen Grootes speaks to Haroon Bhorat, professor of economics at the University of Cape Town, about new research examining the steady decline in listings on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The study finds the exchange has lost a net 514 companies since 1989, with delistings significantly outpacing new listings and leaving South Africa with fewer opportunities for smaller firms to raise capital through public markets. While many exits are linked to mergers and acquisitions or firms choosing private funding, the research also highlights how weak economic growth, currency pressures and structural shifts in global capital markets have contributed to the shrinking listings. In other interviews, Miyelani Holeni, Municipal Governance Expert talks about Eskom’s escalating push for Distribution Agency Agreements, the municipalities at risk of disconnection, and the deeper governance failures behind the soaring arrears that threaten to plunge entire communities into darkness The Money Show is a podcast hosted by well-known journalist and radio presenter, Stephen Grootes.
