Tiisetso Motsoeneng has spent more than a decade reporting on South Africa’s political economy through its most turbulent cycles. At Business Day, he oversaw coverage of the post–state capture politics, tracking how business, labour and government struggled to rebuild consensus as the social compact underpinning the country’s democracy frayed. Before that, he served as Reuters’ head of corporate news for Southern Africa, chronicling the euphoric “Africa Rising” moment, South Africa Inc.’s furious response to state capture, and the national reckoning that followed Nelson Mandela’s death. His reporting has consistently mapped how power, markets and politics collide.
