CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST BIZNEWS BUSINESS BRIEFING (on iTunes) – Financial whistleblower Sean Peche “blown away” by reaction to expose’; Eloff, Donaldson revisit R30bn PBMR nuclear plan
A big part of our team, myself included, decamp to the Drakensberg Sports Resort over the weekend where we’ll be hosting around 250 members of the tribe at the Fourth BizNews Conference. Michael, Sandra, Asime and Lindi will be keeping the website updated, supplemented by info from the event.
___STEADY_PAYWALL___It’s a cracking speaker lineup with more independent thinkers in one place than you’re likely to find anywhere in South Africa. What makes the BNC event special is most speakers stay for the full three days, because they genuinely enjoy interacting with our community.
If you would like to join us but haven’t yet booked (starts Tuesday evening), although no rooms are available at the hotel itself, there’s plenty of accommodation just minutes away. Going for our new “Day Pass” options means you get absolutely everything other delegates receive, except a bed at the inn – that you’ll need to arrange for yourself. So, there’s still time to meet O’Sullivan, Hersov and Co – here’s the link for details: https://www.biznews.com/biznews-investment-conference
As I’m flat out during conference time, this newsletter (and BBB for that matter) will be suspended for the coming week. The next one will hit your inbox on Monday, 5th September.
