It's Friday the 23rd of October and today we start with ActionSA's Herman Mashaba who says there are two DA figures he won't share counsel with.

Then Alec Hogg asks whether clicks is a bargain or a trap after its share price fell 47% in a year.

We also hear from Dr. Carla Mitchell on the South African-led mission taking Africa to the

moon.

And we wrap with the latest from Wall Street.

Who will Herman Mashaba work with after the elections? The Action SA leader tells Alec Hogg he'll work with any party that accepts his conditions, but says there are two people in the DA who would have to go first.

Is there anyone that you will not work with after the 2026 election?

I'll work with any party.

It'll be intriguing to see what kind of horse trading or coalitions come in Johannesburg after the 4th of November.

Nice to have you here.

Alec, it's an absolute honor to be with the unofficial mayor of Hermanus.

Believe me, there's no way I'm even close to that.

Just tell us about you.

And looking back, if you were to say to that 23-year-old

today...

Alec, you are really cutting to the core of it.

I'm loving it.

Magda Rieszka has her eye on some of the world's biggest private companies.

She tells Alec Hogg about her stake in Anthropic, an office she turned down, and the fund she wants to open up to South African investors.

just a portfolio at the moment, but I want to do a lot more with it.

You know, I want to list it on JSC.

And we wrap with the latest from Wall Street.

Is Jacob Zuma the glue holding MK together? William Saunderson-Meyer, whose jaundiced I column has run every week since 1993, now joins Alec Hogg weekly on BizNews.

He says MK will outlast Zuma and that any road back for the ANC has to run through it.

But Zuma, dead or alive, he's still running the show.

Earlier this week, the DA's Tertius Simmers called the Patriotic Alliance a criminal enterprise dressed up as a party.

PA co-founder Charles Cilliers hits back with

Alec Hogg.

He said that, Simmons said that you're competing verbatim against the criminal enterprise under the guise called a political party.
