Magda Wierzycka is the co-founder of disruptive financial services company Sygnia. In this podcast, the outspoken actuary, economist and businesswoman speaks to BizNews founder Alec Hogg about what drives her to get up in the morning and the seismic shift in the way that South Africa's public resources are going to be invested. Wierzycka believes that Covid-19 is a wake-up call to the whole world – a catalyst for rethinking a lot of things- and that this is not the only pandemic that we are going to see in our lifetime. On the subject of the IMF loan to South Africa, she expresses gratitude that South Africa is unable to borrow more offshore as that would send the country to a sovereign default within five years. An update on the status of the Oxford University Covid-19 vaccine is also provided in this podcast. – Nadya Swart
