In this episode of Rational Radio he describes what happened as a tragedy; had those controlling the purse strings pursued a different strategy, Tongaat would still be a flourishing business.

I was looking back in the research and in 2014 – there was a story in Business Day – where you warned the Tongaat guys that they were on the wrong path. What exactly was concerning you then?
