Former Springbok rugby captain Bobby Skinstad told BizNews about the Lions Tour, which is set to come to South Africa this year. The international rugby tour could bring with it great things for the SA economy and its battered tourism industry, but the reality of Covid-19 may still put a dampener on festivities. Skinstad also tells BizNews founder Alec Hogg about the business side of his life.

Ari Katz, CEO of Boston City Campus, joined BizNews Power Hour host Alec Hogg to look at the situation listed education companies find themselves in. With ADvTECH recently releasing results, Katz gives a different perspective into these companies, based on his experience. While he doesn't analyse the results, he notes 'behind the results is a story and you need to look at the context of that. This is a company that, I would imagine, [is] a lot more difficult to navigate and manage than the other listed education companies. It's a complete city of schools, tertiary and resources'. Veteran stock broker David Shapiro also weighs in on the matter.
