      <video:description><![CDATA[With the maturation of Africa's investment landscape, private equity is emerging as a force that is shaping Africa's growth story.

      <video:title><![CDATA[South Africa’s debt crisis ]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Despite a series of interest rate cuts and some relief at the petrol pumps, South Africans remain under severe financial strain. The latest Q3 2025 Debt Index from DebtBusters shows that households are increasingly relying on high-interest credit to close the gap between stagnant incomes and rising living costs. A record 95 per cent of people applying for debt counselling now have a personal loan, 57 per cent hold payday loans, and nearly a quarter are using overdrafts just to get through the month. DebtBusters says South Africans today have 48 per cent less spending power than they did in 2016 — while many households are using 70 per cent of their take-home pay just to service debt, the highest level in eight years. CNBC Africa spoke to Benay Sager, Executive Head of DebtBusters for more. ]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Strengthening Africa’s collective voice in global carbon tax votes ]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[The global shipping industry is in flux after the IMO delayed its proposed global carbon tax by a full year. This tax would have been the world's first industry-wide emissions pricing system, a major step toward decarbonising shipping. The delay has created uncertainty for ship-owners, ports, and investors, while also opening the door for regional carbon rules that could make global trade more complex and costly. For Africa, the stakes are high. Only 13 of Africa's 37 IMO member states voted on the issue, highlighting a lack of coordination at a time when the continent needs a unified voice to protect its trade interests, avoid rising freight costs, and position itself for the green shipping transition. Håkan Agnevall, President & CEO of Wärtsilä joins CNBC Africa to unpack what this means for African competitiveness and climate readiness.]]></video:description>
