  "summary": "According to a PwC remuneration report, median total remuneration for CEOs at South Africa's 200 largest listed companies has increased by 9% to R23.2 million. IOL reports that this rise was driven by both short-term and long-term incentives.\n\nIn sports news, South African head coach Shukri Conrad announced his squad for the second Test against Australia, which begins this Sunday. As reported by the New Straits Times, the squad features the return of fast bowler Kagiso Rabada, who missed the Durban Test due to a hamstring injury, and the addition of Matthew Breetzke.\n\nThe New Straits Times also notes that batsman Tristan Stubbs has been dropped from the squad, while Kyle Verreynne remains as the back-up wicketkeeper. Coach Conrad indicated a potential shake-up to the batting order, suggesting Ryan Rickelton will keep wicket.",
