About this episode

The episode discusses South Africa's proposed regulation of cryptocurrency and features an interview with Nomsa Mazwai about Sober Fest.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Prof Steven Boykey Sidley Professor of Practice at JBS, University of Johannesburg and columnist at Daily Maverick about National Treasury’s proposed overhaul of exchange controls, unpacking the shift to a risk‑based system, tougher penalties, tighter rules on foreign and crypto assets, and what it means for capital flows in and out of South Africa. In other interviews, Nomsa Mazwai talks about Sober Fest, a consciously curated Freedom Day weekend gathering in Soweto that challenges alcohol‑centred celebration and instead centres music, wellness, family and the idea of showing up fully present in our joy and freedom.
