  • If you didn’t find the time to listen to my in-depth interview with Helen Zille, highlights are now available in this short video.

  • Ripples from Nick Hudson’s presentation at the Biznews Investment conference in March continues to widen. Latest global media to pick it up is Erik van der Horst of Holland’s widely followed Keuringsdienst van Waarheid (Inspectorate of Truth). It’s mostly in English – click here to watch.
  • Please book soonest if you want to be guaranteed a seat to hear (and meet) Nick and other free-thinking keynote speakers at our Spring investment conference.
