Netcare boss on NHI. Plus: How to beat AI 

In this episode, Bruce talks to Dr Richard Friedland, CEO of Netcare, the largest private hospital group in South Africa. Friedland bemoans government taking the “low road” as it plans to push ahead with National Health Insurance in its current form, and says the only real winners will be lawyers as court battles over the plan heat up. But Friedland also highlights good news about an easing in SA’s nursing crisis and, following a recent trip abroad, found that other countries are “nowhere close to where we are” when it comes to the country’s private healthcare. Also on the programme, behavioural strategist Joni Peddie, whose new book, From Can’t Do to Can Do, offers a practical guide to business leaders on how to leverage their human edge in a world shaped by AI. Meryl Pick, Old Mutual Investment Group’s head of equities research, discusses US president Donald Trump’s new threats against SA. She also looks at the remarkable turnaround of Tiger Brands. Certified financial planner Warren Ingram gives tips on how to build wealth. This podcast is sponsored by Capitec.
