Former Steinhoff boss Markus Jooste is continuing to fight efforts by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) to fine him for his role in SA's largest accounting scandal. 
 

Jooste has still not paid the R15 million fine the JSE imposed on him in January for releasing false and misleading financial statements and creating a sham R376 million invoice. 
 

The former Steinhoff CEO, who lost his initial appeal against the fine last month, now wants to take the matter on review to a new court. 
 

As Jooste digs in for a long legal battle against the JSE, the clock is running down on two criminal charges he faces in Germany.

SA government spending has hit more than R1 trillion so far this year.

Brilliant Telecommunications has lost another key legal bid to keep details about why it was awarded a R585 million City of Tshwane contract under wraps. The company's apparent connections to VBS Mutual Bank may also raise questions.

Eskom has had its worst year yet: biggest financial loss, most days lost to load shedding, and worst plant performance.

BHI trustee Craig Warriner, a former chairperson of the Old Boys Association of St Stithians College in Johannesburg, reportedly handed himself over to the police.

Sasfin Holdings has finally published its 2023 audited financial results after several delays that almost saw its shares suspended by the JSE, though it has warned it may face regulatory sanctions over alleged criminality by former staff members.

The verdict against Neil Phillips will likely serve as a caution to other traders making outsized bets in narrow markets.
