Скачать или смотреть Mining Indaba opens as users tune out; peak social media fatigue hits digital engagement

Stephen Grootes speaks to Bernard Swanepoel, Chair of the Joburg Indaba and former mining executive, about key takeaways from Day One - from how global geopolitics are reshaping South Africa’s mining landscape and the renewed importance of PGMs and gold, to what’s on the agenda tomorrow, including coal’s evolving role, reviving diamond mining, updates on Eskom and Transnet, and investor confidence ahead of the Minister’s address.


In other interviews,  Dion Chang, CEO and Co-founder of FluxTrends,  unpacks how social media may have reached its breaking point as platforms drown in outrage and AI-generated content. Chang reflects on whether September 2025 marks the moment social media “jumped the shark,” shifting from a space for connection to a noisy digital wasteland. With Meta and OpenAI launching new AI-driven video platforms, he questions whether users really want more synthetic content - or if they’re turning away in search of authenticity.
