Magnus Heystek explains his assault on SA’s post-RWC euphoria

Many in the financial services sector would prefer that independent advisor Magnus Heystek had never been born. The former financial editor and founder of Brenthurst Wealth enjoys ruffling powerful feathers, using facts to puncture the facade created by billions spent on carefully crafted marketing campaigns. He's at it again this week, warning that the Springbok Rugby World Cup euphoria – which he fully participated in – should not distract the national attention away from serious financial challenges that loom ever larger. Not exactly the most liked canary in SA's economic coal mine. But surely one of its most valuable. – Alec Hogg

Well it's a fireball of note. Magnus Heystek joins us now. We got a cracking story that you've just written on Biznews. I don't know whether you realise, but you still have it from your days in journalism – what you write about absolutely hits what the public want to read about – it seems we get tens of thousands of people who log into Biznews to read the articles that you write. Your latest one, which has just gone up on to the site now, is in the same vein. But there were a few things in there that we'll talk about, but what really intrigued me was you sitting in the front row of a presentation from a clerk from Coronation, who then flags you off and didn't even see you there. Now you're not a little guy.
