Mining guru Peter Major is the go to man for anything and everything resource-related, with the veteran mining director cautioning investors on a day where Sasol, Northam and Impala Platinum announced results and earnings guidance. Major noted that the drivers of Sasol's earnings - chemicals, was largely unexpected by the market given the robustness in the oil price since the beginning of the year. Major also gives credit to the resource counters management, stating that this is the most disciplined the management teams have been since he got to South Africa in 1982. Lastly, BizNews founder Alec Hogg and Major talk about the imminent corporate action with BHP Billiton's petroleum unit, which is a significant contributor to the bottom line of one of the world's largest mining companies.

One of South Africa's in form fund managers and Thursday's BizNews Power Hour regular co-host, Piet Viljoen is the man to talk too in the midst of reporting season on the JSE. MTN's results, which is one of the largest holdings in the Counterpoint Value Fund, was well received by the market with the share hovering around the R120 level almost 4% up on the day. Another talking point was Cashbuild's proposed acquisition of Pepkor-owned The Building Company falling through as the Competition Commission blocked the transaction on anti competitive grounds. Lastly, with South Africa's premier coal producer Exxaro having released it's bumper results earlier this morning, Piet explains the reasons for the stark contrast in valuation between ESG-related renewable energy businesses vs its non-renewable peers, despite the ESG theme being somewhat overdone.

Dreams came true at the Tokyo Olympic Games last week for two of our own. Tatjana Schoenmaker won the gold medal and set the world record in the 200-metre breaststroke and also won the silver medal in the 100-metre breaststroke, while Bianca Buitendag won the silver medal in the women's shortboard competition. These extraordinary achievements fueled uproar from South Africans upon the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee’s announcement on Monday - Women’s Day - that these incredible athletes would not be paid bonuses for their medal wins. In response to this announcement by SASCOC, Mike Sharman - the founder of MatchKit - took to Twitter saying that in “2016 Wayde van Niekerk earned R500,000 for winning gold and an extra R150,000 for breaking a World Record and Chad Le Clos earned R200,000 for a silver. By this standard, Tatjana Schoenmaker should be rewarded with at least R850,000 and Bianca Buitendag R200,000.” A rational response and one which led to a vigorous crowdfunding campaign which raised R100,000 in the first hour - a testament to the South African spirit. BizNews spoke to Mike Sharman, whose passion was nothing short of infectious.
