Roger Baxter: Why SA mining execs boycotted Zwa...
The 28 council members at South Africa's Chamber of Mines made a very public statement against mining minister Mosebenzi Zwane - all of them boycotted the Joburg Indaba banquet where he was guest of honour. In this forthright interview, Chamber CEO Roger Baxter explains why the miners refused to attend, reasoning this would be a sign of respect to a flawed Zuma ally deeply implicated in the corruption scandal wracking the country. Despite their obvious vulnerability to officialdom (immovable assets; mining licences etc) the miners have led the business sector's fight against state capture. And having upped the ante, they seem determined to increase the pressure. - Alec Hogg

Sir Mick Davis: The SA mining magnate rejuvenat...
Warren Buffett urges us to highlight our disappointments and talk modestly of our successes. Sir Mick Davis is clearly a convert to this approach as you'll hear in this fascinating interview with a Port Elizabeth-born wunderkind who kicked on to become one of the global mining industry's dominant personalities. After the earning stage of his life, the now 58 year old Davis has closed up his business shop and is moved into the serving period. Reason: he believes the British economy is faced with an "existential" challenge. Davis regards the rise of a hard-left Labour Party as deeply threatening to the UK and much that has contributed to its economic success over the past few decades. During the wide-ranging discussion he also repeats direct advice given to South Africa's mining minister when Davis outlined why he would recommend against investing in the country - but proposing four changes which turn him back into a supporter. This in-depth interview unpacks lessons from Davis's career and looks ahead to his next challenge as CEO of the UK's governing political party, a post which carries huge responsibility and takes him back into the public spotlight. - Alec Hogg

In each of the last six editions of RMB's authoritative report ranking the best places to invest in Africa, the middle income nation on the southern tip has topped the pile. But this year South Africa has slipped to second, ceding its crown to Egypt. In another major shift, Nigeria has now dropped out of the Top Ten. In this interview, the report's author Celeste Fauconnier explains the back story behind the changes, outlines the likely impact and suggests ways in which Pretoria can regain the top spot. - Alec Hogg
