After a viral talk given by the outspoken businessman at the BizNews Investment Conference, Rob Hersov rejoins Alec Hogg to discuss the feedback he's received since his speech - which has garnered over 100,000 views on YouTube. "I've got thousands of messages - vast majority positive - and they've come from [people] of all races. The general message is the following: This is something that needed to be said. No one has stood up and said it. Well done on you to say it." Hersov also tells Alec Hogg how another speech at the conference fired him up - and shares some regrets, too. "This is our government and if they're destroying the country, vote them out!"

Ntando Mahlangu, a double amputee from Pretoria, became an international sensation when he won double gold medals at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. Ntando stormed to the finish, clinching gold in the Men’s 200 T61 and then not only managed to win another gold medal for the T63 long jump; he broke a world record with a final leap of 7.17 metres. What empowered this teenager to fly and succeed was Pretoria prostheses expert Johan Snyders, known as the Blades Doctor. Snyders not only gives mobility and athleticism to young amputees (through his charity Jumping Kids) but also enables them to get an academic qualification. BizNews caught up with him at his Pretoria residence and asked him whether he expected Ntando to do so well - and there is a surprise appearance of Ntando at the end of the conversation.

Rob Hersov was one of the keynote speakers at the BizNews Investment Conference (BNIC#2) in the Drakensberg earlier this month. After his presentation, the wildly outspoken billionaire sat down with BizNews founder Alec Hogg for a Q&A. The discussion which followed - which included questions posed to Hersov by delegates at BNIC#2 - is one you simply do not want to miss. While Hersov’s absolute candour is sure to rustle some feathers, it is hard not to find such unfettered frankness - at the very least - refreshing.
