      <video:description><![CDATA[All eyes are on the South African Reserve Bank today, with markets watching closely to see whether policymakers will hold rates steady or begin shifting their stance. Inflation has eased, but risks remain- from a fragile domestic economy to geopolitical tensions.

Joining CNBC Africa to preview that meeting and the likely outcomes is Johann Els, Chief Economist, PSG Financial Services. ]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[ Gulf oil shock: LCCI urges targeted support and structural reforms ]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Surging oil prices driven by Gulf tensions are pushing Nigeria’s fuel costs toward ₦1,500 per litre, intensifying inflationary pressure across the economy. The Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry say the shock exposes structural gaps in domestic refining and warns that the impact is largely negative despite higher crude prices. The chamber is urging targeted support for key sectors, improved FX stability, and accelerated supply-side reforms to cushion the economy and restore market balance. Chinyere Almona, Director General at the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, joins CNBC Africa to discuss the chamber's recommendations and more. ]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[The Nigerian government estimates that more than $100 billion in public and private capital is needed to deliver reliable, round-the-clock electricity. The breakdown underscores the scale of the challenge with about $30 billion to add 20,000 megawatts of generation capacity, $20 billion for transmission, and a combined $47 billion for distribution upgrades and gas infrastructure. But the investment push comes against a backdrop of deep structural constraints. Temitope Kolade, Associate Director, Energy, Mining and Maritime Practice at Andersen Nigeria, joins CNBC Africa to assess what it will take to unlock capital and address the bottlenecks holding back Nigeria’s power sector. ]]></video:description>
