      <video:title><![CDATA[Westbrooke raises R1.6bn for UK lower mid-market private equity fund]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[South African capital is increasingly moving offshore, and now into private markets. Westbrooke Alternative Asset Management has secured £75 million for its first UK private equity fund, backed largely by local high-net-worth investors seeking hard-currency returns. The strategy targets lower mid-market UK businesses — a segment often overlooked by larger funds — with ambitions of delivering 20 per cent plus annual returns. The fund has already deployed capital into its first deal, signalling both pipeline depth and investor appetite for direct offshore exposure. Joining CNBC Africa for more is Dino Zuccollo, Head: Investor Solutions, Westbrooke Alternative Asset Management. ]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[South African private sector activity at 4-year high]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[South Africa's private sector is gaining momentum, with the latest S&P Global South Africa Purchasing Managers' Index rising to 51.6 in April, the strongest in nearly four years and firmly in expansion territory. But the picture is mixed. Some of the lift is linked to firms building precautionary stock amid supply risks tied to the Iran war, suggesting that the uptick in growth could be short-lived. Joining CNBC Africa to delve deeper into the numbers is Robert Matthee, Sub-Saharan Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence. ]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[South Africa's bond market has had a volatile start to the year, shaped by persistent global uncertainty, shifting rate expectations, and continued foreign outflows. Yields have remained elevated even as the South African rand shows relative resilience and inflation risks build, largely driven by higher oil prices and external shocks. Against that backdrop, investors are reassessing duration, risk, and return prospects in the local fixed income space, and joining CNBC Africa for more on this is James Turp, Fixed Income Portfolio Manager, NinetyOne. ]]></video:description>
