  • Different ways to skin a cat
  • The restructuring of South Africa's unwieldy industrial and commercial structures may at last be picking up speed. Conglomerates seem more eager than before to unbundle, seek focus and pick up investments in complementary operations abroad. Richard Stovin-Bradford reports.
  • Trevor Manuel, South Africa's finance minister, has surprised many critics. This former anti-apartheid activist has opened trade barriers, removed exchange controls and supported privatization.

Sam Swiss talks to Manuel about Gear, interest rates and the cost of underpants.
