The Gareth Cliff Show

The Gareth Cliff Show | South African Elections & Coalitions, US Stock Market Loss, Legal Betting with BetMatch | 6 November 2026 Gareth Cliff went live on Friday 6 November 2026 with the South African elections, the US stock market loss, and the odds on how the world’s elections are going. Leigh Ann Moll joined the show too and shocked the comments section. Chris Hart of Impact Africa joins Gareth to work through the coalitions that could come out of the South African elections, from who could partner with whom to what each combination would mean for the country. The vote count was still under way, so everything discussed is conjecture until the final results are in. TD Markets were live in studio, and the biggest talking point was yesterday’s US stock market loss. They explain what happened on Wall Street, what it could mean for South African investors and the rand, and how to trade safely. Nick French of BetMatch talks about legal betting in South Africa and how to bet responsibly. He explains what to look for in a licensed bookmaker and why it’s important to set limits and to treat betting as entertainment rather than income. Find out more at betmatch.co.za.

Part 2 In this show you get two hours on money, AI scams, the law and some of the strangest stories of the week. The lineup covered the markets, stablecoins, voice-cloning fraud, domestic worker rights and Themba Robin’s latest plans. TD Markets trading educators Tshepo Makaodi and Ashley Reeve break down where the markets stand: The US Federal Reserve raised interest rates again on 16 September 2026. The rand has weakened from R15.92 to R16.60 against the US dollar. Oil has slipped back below $100 a barrel, and they explain why that doesn’t change the fuel price overnight. Bitcoin has strengthened through the second half of 2026. They also explain stablecoins and the future of money. You’ll hear what a stablecoin is, how USD-backed stablecoins give South Africans another way to hold and move dollar value, whether they could replace the rand or threaten the banks, and whether they protect you from inflation. @TDMarkets Instagram.com/tdmarkets TDMarkets Facebook.com/tdmarkets TDMarkets Linkedin.com/company/tdmarkets TDMarkets Youtube.com/@tdmarkets AskMandla CEO Peter Adolphs and Chief Legal Officer Janine Kane-Berman answer the questions every South African household should be asking about employing a domestic worker: Does UIF apply if she only works once a week? What happens if she is injured at home, and how do COIDA and the Compensation Fund protect her? Do you pay sick leave when she messages at 6:15am to say she’s ill? Does she really need a payslip if you pay by EFT? AskMandla is the WhatsApp-first platform that helps households manage contracts, payroll, payslips and UIF.

ASS kicks off the morning with stories including Sweden’s “Introvert Travel Agency”, the most isolated place on Earth, and seven workplace solvents linked to Parkinson’s disease. Lloyd Matthews, founder of Untapped AI, returns to explain AI voice fraud and why a scam call can now sound exactly like your bank, your boss or your child. He covers: How little audio a criminal needs to clone a voice. His patented “Shazam for scam calls” technology, which recognises AI voices and flags them before anyone loses money. Why AI agents will soon need to verify each other’s identity. Why he built sovereign South African AI on local servers, under POPIA. What every family can do today: set a family safe word, hang up and call back on a saved number, and never share a PIN or OTP with a caller. https://www.untappedai.co.za/ +27 83 500 0847 Throughout the show, the Giving It Gas Award pays R500, or a R500 voucher from The Gas Company, to the best comment in the live chat.

Honest, wide-ranging and typically GCS — this one's worth your time.

Gareth tells Gord about the time he did ayahuasca, which naturally spirals into a full swap-meet of near-death experiences and "was that God or just my brain running out of oxygen" moments. Somewhere in there, Gord casually mentions he's sitting on a voting system that could fix democracy, as one does. Then it gets properly philosophical: what happiness actually is, why intelligence and love make being alive so unnecessarily complicated, and the one piece of advice that might actually save your attention span, keep your eyes on what you're building, not on your phone. Heavy stuff, delivered the way only these two can.

Gareth live from Malta with the incredible Team from Tourvest. We talk to a few of the Tourvest Team and all their exciting plans and what they have been doing in Malta And of course the comments section is on fire.

Jammed show! Ben Karpinski takes us to Kimberley and the Big Hole — and somehow the conversation spirals into genuinely unexpected territory from there. Munya Shumba (@modern_money) breaks down where you should actually be putting your money right now, plus tells us about his upcoming book, called SA's Money System is designed to keep you Broke. Subscribe for it at modern-money.kit.com, and get on his mailing list for deeper financial insights straight to your inbox. And we welcome back a firm favourite, Colonel Chris Wyatt — who somehow pronounces South African town names better than most locals. He's also got a sharp take on the local elections you won't want to miss.
