WEBINAR: SA Champions Portfolio gets a Ramaphosa reshuffle

JOHANNESBURG — February was an exciting month for South Africans as Cyril Ramaphosa was elected President of the country, following Jacob Zuma's resignation. Since 2009 the country has been on a marked decline, especially in keys areas such as economic growth and jobs, otherwise known as Zumanomics. With the key ingredient of the SA Champions Portfolio being one of finding South African entrepreneurs doing exceptional things on a global scale, with a listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Enter Ramaphosa and this turns on its head. The economic policy shifts from one of plunder and self interest to one of inclusion and growth. Hence the need to change the structure of the portfolio to focus on SA Inc. Alec Hogg spills the beans. – Stuart Lowman

It's a very warm welcome to you from a very cold Europe. My goodness, the Russian weather has come to the UK, and I'll show you in just a minute what it looks like over here. Thanks for joining us for the BizNews SA Champions Portfolio. I'm Alec Hogg and I'm coming to you from London. If you have a look around there, I'm going to try and show you outside of my window, and you can see it looks like a winter wonderland. I don't know how much of that you can see but I can tell you, it was -5 degrees when we got back from London yesterday, and a very cold place to be. I was talking to one of our colleagues who said, 'it was rather cool in Johannesburg.' The rather cool Johannesburg that she was talking about was that it had gone to 21 degrees. Well, I can tell you what, to have that as an option in the UK at the moment, would be a real pleasure. I'm going to be bringing up the portfolio for you in a moment. I just want to make absolutely sure that we've got all the technical things 100% right. Stuart Lowman, my colleague, who's managing-editor of BizNews is in Johannesburg. Stuart, do you want to just take us through how the webinar is going to work?
