In this episode of The Unusual Finance Chat, we dive into the dual challenges of funding and functionality within South Africa’s most critical sectors. First, we sit down with Francisco Da Silva of the Change The World showcase, to discuss why social entrepreneurs are sitting on a goldmine of international investment—if only they can master the formal business processes required to unlock it.

Then, we shift from the boardroom to the farm with Karmini Pillay-Rangan, Director of Strategy at Pulse Afrika. We explore the friction between traditional farming methods and agricultural modernization, highlighting how a streamlined supply chain is the secret weapon for South African farmers looking to compete on the global stage. From impact-driven billions to tech-enabled yields, we’re uncovering the "unusual" ways finance and innovation are rewriting the rules of the local economy.
