Let's walk little. 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 2: The Money Show with Stephen Crutis is brought to you 4 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: by a Islamic business bank celebrating twenty years of banking 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 2: rooted in values is a registered FSP. Good evening, I'm 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 2: Stephen Croutis, Welcome to the program. Eight minutes after six 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 2: the time. A bit of corporate news today, but everything's 8 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: still really in waiting and dissipay shin, I believe as 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: the joke obviously, waiting to see what happens with oil prices, 10 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 2: with the conflict in Iran, all of that situation can 11 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 2: have such a big impact on you, and we all 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 2: know this. We'll talk a little later in fact about 13 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 2: electric cars. If you go to so many other places, 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: if you just now sort of watch drama set in 15 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: New York or London, you'll see so many electric cars. 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 2: Beijing absolutely Here not so much. And I'm not entirely 17 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,639 Speaker 2: sure why the takeup has been so slow. I mean, 18 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: I know who we will blame, obviously, but you know 19 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 2: other things too. We're a much bigger country in terms 20 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 2: of sort of range than many other places, and I 21 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: think the big thing also is you buy one car 22 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 2: and you use it to go around every day, and 23 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: you use it for the sort of long family trip 24 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 2: to Poloqwani every weekend. And I think that really is 25 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: the issue, and that's where sort of electric cars fall down. 26 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 2: We'll talk about that with Warren Tucket just before seven o'clock. 27 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: Before that, Francois Rousseau is the CEO of the Southern 28 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 2: African Agricultural Initiative, one of the groups that's gone to 29 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: court against the Minister, against the Ministry of Agriculture, essentially 30 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 2: saying that they should be allowed to import their own vaccines. 31 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 2: Were due to speak to the Agriculture Minister. John's Tina 32 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: Haysen too and get his response to that argument. So 33 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: all of that in the next couple of minutes. Liberty, 34 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 2: the insurance group, the investment group. You know, essentially they 35 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: say that they had a hack, they've taken sort of 36 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: steps to mitigate it. And the question I suppose rarely 37 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 2: is if they can have a hack, who can't I mean, 38 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: there's so well resourced. So yeah, simbathis to Sishi. We'll 39 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 2: talk about that in a moment, and we'll hear from 40 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: Timothy Walker about shipping around the coast. He's at the 41 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 2: ISS really watches shipping very very closely. But it does 42 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: seem lots of opportunity coming our way because more ships 43 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 2: are coming around here simply because of what's happening in 44 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: the Middle East. Good to hear from you O double 45 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 2: one double A three oh seven, O two two one 46 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 2: four four six oh five six seven and voice notes 47 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 2: as well, of course on seven two seven oh two 48 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: one seven oh two. 49 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 3: The Lney Show with Stephen Krudis live on ninety two 50 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 3: point seven and one O six FM, streaming on the 51 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,399 Speaker 3: Prime Media Plus. 52 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: NAP and DStv channel eight five six. 53 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: Well are ruling from the Kha Teng High Court today 54 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: that an application by the group sake Lecha, the Southern 55 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 2: African agri Initiative and the Farmers Group Free State Agriculture 56 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 2: lacks urgency. It won't be heard immediately. The group say 57 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: government is blocking them from procuring their own foot and 58 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: mouth vaccines for their cattle. The Agriculture Department says it 59 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: has a duty to coordinate the response to the disease. 60 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: As you know, if you've tried to bry with beef lately, 61 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 2: those prices are about twelve percent over the last year 62 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 2: and more actually higher than that. At one point. We'll 63 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: hear from the Agriculture Minister in a moment. But first, 64 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 2: Francois Rousseau is the CEO of the Southern African Agricultural Initiative. 65 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: Francois good evening. Why did you go to court? What 66 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: do you believe government is doing that is incorrect? 67 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 4: Bike grieving Stephen, Yes, I first want to correct your 68 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 4: earlier course. I see you've only read the minister into 69 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 4: which is severely lacking. There was no ruling with regards 70 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 4: to urgency. In fact, the court ruled against the minister 71 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 4: with costs because it was They actually gave the Minister 72 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 4: a deadline in March to come back with a Section 73 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 4: teen application to show how is he going to remedy. 74 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 4: We went to court to find that what in the 75 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 4: current regulations or the current scheme is there that is 76 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 4: preventing farmers from donating and procuring their own vaccines. Because 77 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 4: the only impediment at the moment is the minister himself. 78 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 2: What is the minister doing that's the problem? I mean, 79 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: are you suggesting he is not moving quickly enough? 80 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, not just that, but currently farmers cannot administer vaccines themselves, 81 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 4: and they cannot procure it from the private importers that 82 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 4: the minister himself is using at the moment. So the 83 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 4: minister is centralizing the whole value chain when it comes 84 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 4: to vaccine procurement and dispersing of these vaccines. So all 85 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 4: the vaccines that are coming into the country must be 86 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 4: sent to honest the poor biological products defunct State and Enterprise, 87 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 4: which has been severely lacking in the last twenty years 88 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 4: with regards to its production and its sale of vaccines. 89 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 4: And then from the state the sites which farmers get 90 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 4: vaccines and which don't. 91 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: Okay, I can imagine as a farmer that would be 92 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 2: very distressing. Do you accept that government may have a 93 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 2: duty to regulate vaccines? I mean, can you imagine a 94 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: situation where there's no coordination? And I think I think 95 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 2: this is government's argument, we have to coordinate. But can 96 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: you imagine if they didn't. I mean, wouldn't different farmers 97 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: using different vaccines be a problem? It might actually make 98 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: it easier for the disease to spread over the longer term. 99 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 4: No, no, Stephen, The problem is we have to get 100 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 4: her immunity as soon as possible, and in order to 101 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 4: do that, we need to vaccinate the national herd before 102 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 4: the end of the year, and we need to vaccinate 103 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 4: at the minimum eighty percent of the national herd for 104 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 4: her immunity to stick. The only way we can do 105 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 4: that is to get vaccines on mass into the country 106 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 4: and let farmers vaccinate. We do not have enough state veterinarians, 107 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 4: We do not have enough private veterinarians or the farmers 108 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 4: who have the funds to pay those veterinarians to vaccinate, 109 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 4: so they themselves must vaccinate. The only reason why vaccines 110 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 4: will come into the country that are not allowed, and 111 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 4: that's not what we're advocating for. We see it approved 112 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 4: by Supra and from necessary suppliers. But the only reason 113 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 4: that the vaccines that enter the country which are not regulated, 114 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 4: the only reason why they are coming in here is 115 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 4: because the minister has created the black market, and he 116 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 4: created the black market because it cannot supply enough vaccines 117 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 4: to the country. You would remember that he promised that IARC, 118 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 4: which produced twelve nine hundred vaccines almost a month ago, 119 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 4: will produce weekly. They've only produced that one batch and 120 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 4: they haven't produced after that. He said that there would 121 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 4: be five million and six million vaccines coming in in 122 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 4: the middle of March. That also has not occurred. And 123 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 4: that's because it keeps on with this obsession of centralizing 124 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 4: vaccine control. We are already vaccinating against diseases, animal diseases 125 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 4: which are state controlled, like brucellosis. Why can we not 126 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 4: do it for foot and mouth disease? 127 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: France Arroussop, thank you so much. The CEO of the 128 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: Southern African Agricultural Initiative, Well, John Stienhaesen is the Minister 129 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 2: of Agriculture, he joins me. Now John, good evening to you, Minister, 130 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: excuse me, good evening to you. Thank you for your time. 131 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: If I was a farmer and I could see my 132 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 2: herd of cattle, my family's entire savings was in danger, 133 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: I would want to get them vaccinated as quickly as possible. 134 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 2: Why are you insisting on state control here? 135 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 5: It's not me consisting insisting on its, Stephen. It's the 136 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 5: regulations and the law requiring state control diseases, particularly those 137 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 5: using vaccines that are not registered for use from South Africa, 138 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 5: to be managed by veterinarians. We've already made it very 139 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 5: clear that private vetinarians of private animal health technicians can 140 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 5: assist in this, and we've had hundreds of these vets 141 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 5: and animal health technicians registering to assist. The reality is 142 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 5: the vaccines, the Dolvat vaccine, the bar Genesis Bago vaccine, 143 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 5: and the Botswana vaccine are not registered for use in 144 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 5: South Africa, which is why they have to go through 145 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 5: a Section twenty one process for the importation. All other 146 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 5: remedies are done through Act thirty six. And I've heard 147 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 5: that your previous interview is going on about the fact 148 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 5: that farmers can vaccinate for those diseases. Yes they can 149 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 5: because those remedies are registered vaccines in terms of Act 150 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 5: thirty six in the country. The FMD vaccines are not 151 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 5: registered and imported under emergency situations like we did with 152 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 5: the COVID vaccines. And that's while they require, as the 153 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 5: COVID vaccines did, only implementation by registered veterinarians, whether they 154 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 5: be private or public. 155 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 2: Okay, if that's the case, and I accept what you say. 156 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 2: The real reason for all of this is, as the 157 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: farmer has put it, things are not moving quickly enough. 158 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: The vaccine, the doses are here, but they're not getting them, 159 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,359 Speaker 2: and isn't that really the fundamental problem. 160 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 5: Simply that's simply not true, Stephen. There's been millions of 161 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 5: vaccines rolled out since the beginning of this year. We 162 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 5: vaccinated two million in the last quarter of last year. 163 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 5: And as the vaccine starts arrive now from bi Genesis 164 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 5: Bago and Dolvett We've already approved now and have got 165 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 5: the sarpro approval for six million vaccines from dolvette from Turkey, 166 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 5: and we are importing another one point five million from 167 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 5: Bigenesis Bago awaiting a bigger order of five million. The 168 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 5: vaccines are rolling out, and they're rolling out at an 169 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 5: incredibly fast pace around the country according to the vaccination 170 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 5: strategy that we have already publicly released that focuses on 171 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 5: the priority areas where the disease is at its a 172 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 5: peak and where it is the most virulent. That is 173 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 5: how you do these things. Obviously, the more vaccines that areouved, 174 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 5: the foster we'll be able to vaccinate. But we're well 175 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 5: on back to meet our vaccination target of eighty percent 176 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 5: of the national herd by December. 177 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 2: If a farmer could procure exactly the same thing from 178 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 2: exactly the same person government is getting it from what 179 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 2: would be the harm in letting them procure it. 180 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 5: Well, this is not a registered medicine, Stephen. It's the 181 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 5: same as importing illegal medication from outside of the borders. 182 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 5: And we've already seen the negative effects of what happens 183 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 5: when you allow the type of vaccine free for all 184 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 5: that these applicants aren't visaging. During the course of the 185 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 5: Core Last Courts of last year, some farmers took it 186 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 5: upon themselves to import vaccines from Kenya and to administer 187 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 5: into these animals. They have now potentially introduced strains of 188 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 5: the F and D vaccine which we do not have 189 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 5: in South Africa, the O and A strains, and that 190 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 5: obviously complicate the fight against foot and out disease. And 191 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 5: that is why this has to remain something that is 192 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 5: overseen by the state. 193 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 6: Now. 194 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 5: Obviously private veterinarians and private animal health technicians and others 195 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 5: in the sector are integral to the rollout. But what 196 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 5: we can't do is allow the vaccine free for all, 197 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 5: where anybody can walk in and get a vaccine. The 198 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 5: same applies with flu vaccines, Stephen. You cannot go to 199 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 5: your local pharmacy pass flu vaccines and take them home 200 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 5: and administer them to your family. They have to be 201 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 5: administered by a health professional. It's also important because the 202 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,479 Speaker 5: whole reason that we're embarking upon this mass vaccination strategy 203 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 5: is to get our states has changed with the World's 204 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 5: Organization of Animal Health. To do that, you have to 205 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 5: demonstrate this government that you've been in control of a process, 206 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 5: that you have the data to back up your vaccination, 207 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 5: that you have the data to back up the epidemiology, 208 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 5: so that we can get FMD free status with vaccination, 209 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 5: which will then open up ninety four countries around the 210 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 5: world for US to resume trade with that has been 211 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 5: closed for twenty years. If you don't have that monitoring 212 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 5: and surveillance and that control, it's going to make obtaining 213 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,479 Speaker 5: that status incredibly difficult. 214 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 2: John Stienhaysen, thank you very much. Indeed, Minister of Agriculture, 215 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 2: and I don't know if it's relevant, but I should 216 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 2: probably mention that he is also the leader of the DA. 217 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 2: Well your thoughts on that seven two seven oh two 218 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: one seven oh two. I have bought strong arguments both ways. 219 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 2: Just gone twenty minutes after six that's on the Money 220 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 2: Show six to eight pm. Well, the Investment and insurance 221 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 2: provide a. Liberty, the latest institution to be hit by 222 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 2: data hacks, warned its customers some of its data systems 223 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 2: have been hacked. You can imagine the value of that situation, 224 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 2: of that information rather. Sibasis Cishi is a cyber security 225 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 2: analyst director at iron Sky South Africa A SIBS saw 226 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 2: good evening, thanks for your time again, We've had so 227 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 2: many of these attacks. 228 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 7: Now. 229 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 2: Liberty a well resourced company, a company I'm sure take 230 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 2: cybersecurity very seriously, and yet it still gets hacked. I 231 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 2: mean this shows you how sophisticated these people really are. 232 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 8: Hi, Stephen, and good evening to the viewers as well. 233 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 8: And most definitely the hecks are getting more and more 234 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 8: brazen and they and they're extracting a lot more information 235 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 8: in recent paths. I don't know if you if you 236 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 8: saw it, that's a few I think last week the 237 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 8: titill houting provincial governments also potentially suffered a breach. Of course, 238 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 8: the chabauts worth of data leaving their environments. So SOFOAKA 239 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 8: is technically on the targets for these ransomware groups and 240 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 8: they are really and they really are upgrading within the 241 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 8: orders to extract cognize information from our systems. 242 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: If a company, even a company as well resourced as Liberty, 243 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: does everything it can to prevent a hack, can it 244 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 2: still be vulnerable? I suppose? Is what I'm rarely asking 245 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 2: is can a company make absolutely certain that their systems 246 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 2: can't be breached like this? 247 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 8: And the only way that a company could ever say 248 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 8: that there as a person secure is if nobody gets 249 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 8: access to any sort of data, which is kind of impossible. 250 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 8: There's a there's a balance between security and usability, And 251 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 8: unfortunately for a lot of businesses, especially of the systems 252 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 8: of like the Liberty. You know, they've got a lot 253 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 8: of client facing systems, I've got a lot of systems 254 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,239 Speaker 8: that they're on internal staff use. So it's ritally impossible 255 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 8: to to to bypically say that you're going to bee 256 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 8: hundred percent off or you're going to be one hundred 257 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 8: percent protected against against any sort of breach. The best 258 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 8: that you can do is just to limit it as 259 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 8: much as you can and basically be on the point 260 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 8: if something does happen to to basically lets an amount 261 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 8: of time that an attacker has got time to exploit 262 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 8: intermature out from your systems. 263 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 2: So, I mean, it's interesting that because the Liberty CEO 264 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: yurashmahar I said yesterday they took steps to mitigate to 265 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: contain the impact of the breach. When you've been hacked, 266 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 2: what what can you do to limit the damage? 267 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 8: So it kind of depends on kind of what kind 268 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 8: of heck. So there's different variations and variations where people 269 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 8: just extract information up in the systems and then they 270 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 8: leave the systems intacked. Others other sort of heck. They 271 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 8: basically they basically just they deface your environment, they deface 272 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 8: your your websites. That's normally on the lower end. But 273 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 8: what happened with Liberty is there seems like they extracted 274 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 8: a lot of personal information out from the systems, which 275 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 8: makes it very hard now because now the hackers have 276 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 8: got access to this information that could and they could 277 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 8: share it with whether and wherever they sort of want. 278 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 8: So it sort of really does make it really really hard. 279 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: What Liberty did do, which I was pleased about, was 280 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 2: they went public with it. I'm sure there's some companies 281 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 2: that haven't when this has happened. 282 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 8: Very unfortunately, yes, because there is a price to pay now, 283 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 8: So I think especially with the Information regulator. You know, 284 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 8: they really want to know when when when these breaches happen. 285 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 8: And I don't know if you have noticed that people 286 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 8: like the top price of Liberty did kind of drop 287 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 8: a bit. So it does have a dynamic. It does 288 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 8: have a directive impact on people's trust on the brand 289 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 8: because now they're always going to view for it's always 290 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 8: going to be used autocult sis or radio discussion around. 291 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 8: You've been breached before, you know, so how can I 292 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 8: trust you with my data? So very unfortunately that at 293 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 8: the end of the day is that there's maally nothing 294 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 8: much that that organizations can do. That they can protect 295 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 8: the information as much as they can, but creatures are 296 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 8: going to happen. So it's just basically just to be 297 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 8: as pro active as you can in protecting your valmy. 298 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 2: So people might be a client of Liberty or a 299 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 2: client of someone else's been hacked. There might be the 300 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 2: people whose information was hacked from the partying provincial government. Uh, 301 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 2: you would probably never know, But how can you protect 302 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 2: yourself because now people would know so many things about you. 303 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 2: They would probably know you know your ID number, who 304 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 2: you're married to, your children's names, all of that kind 305 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 2: of stuff. I mean, it must make an individual like 306 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 2: you or I a lot more vulnerable. 307 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, So basically the only way that the users can 308 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 8: do is just to use credit providers to just make 309 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 8: sure that no new there's somebody isn't trying to open 310 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 8: up an account under their name or using the information 311 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 8: that they've gotten from the breach. So you've got to 312 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 8: really take take really important steps and getting notifications around 313 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 8: your credit and if anybody's applied for credit under your name, 314 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 8: to act extremely quickly as something that happened. If you 315 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 8: get notification from the providers of TransUnion, Experience all those 316 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 8: companies that to call the to call the company that's 317 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 8: that's that is that's about to issue us credit and 318 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 8: just tell them that you didn't issue this. They are 319 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 8: are the beast that the user can do. Was unfortunately 320 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 8: that our the data is really out there and as 321 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 8: much as they have if the rents people they say 322 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 8: that all those delete it, that you've never really one 323 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 8: hundred percent show that they'll ever do that. So the 324 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 8: best thing you need to do as a user is 325 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 8: just to protect yourself. Apply for these services, get get 326 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 8: that monitoring on your on yourself, and then you know 327 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 8: and then work extremely foror thely when you get the 328 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 8: notification and. 329 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 2: She thanks very much, really appreciated. A cybersecurity analyst and 330 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 2: director at iron Sky South Africa. I mean, if you've 331 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 2: ever had a hack happened to you or your company, 332 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 2: I'd be glad to hear the story. You don't have 333 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 2: to name the company if you don't want, but just 334 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 2: you know how things played out. Oh seven two seven 335 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 2: oh two one seven two twenty six minutes after six 336 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 2: the Money Show the Market. Ryan Hill is the head 337 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: of fundamental Sales at Abscess cib Ryan good evening. Just 338 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 2: an overall picture. First, I got a sense that our 339 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 2: market and in fact international markets are just waiting to 340 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: see what happens the sort of all the hallmarks of 341 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 2: a market kind of lacking direction. 342 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 9: Bade Hard Belivening, Steven Definitely. I think what we're seeing 343 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 9: at the moment is that the initial optimism around is 344 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 9: being a quick and well I would say easy, but 345 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 9: certainly a sort of short shop conflict in an Iran 346 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 9: that certainly seems to be. I think we're losing hope 347 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 9: around rapid resolution, and you can see that markets are 348 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 9: starting to behave in a way that says. 349 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 8: Where there might be some more trouble coming. 350 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 9: And one of the ways in which you can see 351 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 9: that is the fact that you're seeing a lot more 352 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 9: buying activity happening in spaces that are considerably, considerably more defensive. 353 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:43,479 Speaker 9: So for example, your talco's, your farmer companies, your food stocks, 354 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 9: et cetera, all seem to be catching a bed in 355 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 9: the market at the moment. 356 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 2: I was fascinated to see, you know, Premiere, make Red, 357 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: Tiger brands, I think make Red Netcare, Life Healthcare mt 358 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 2: and and Verdicom I think was Vertoom with the stocks 359 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 2: that were all up on the day. I mean, that 360 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 2: really tells you what people are thinking about what we're 361 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 2: going to need and we're always going to need to communicate, 362 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 2: and we're always going to need to we're always going 363 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 2: to need to. 364 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 9: Eat precisely, that plus the drug stocks of course historically 365 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 9: and of course, if if you look at offshore markets, 366 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 9: also utilities in other companies where you've got pretty reasonable 367 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 9: high conviction around the security of cash flows, whereas of 368 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 9: course your cyclical companies, your miners, et cetera, et cetera, 369 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 9: tend to get sold off during environments like this because essentially, 370 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 9: again it's a flight to safety. 371 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so obviously a big beneficiary from this. You 372 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: would think they make fuel from they make petrol from oil. 373 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 2: I've kind of been slightly surprised that the share price 374 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 2: hasn't actually done more over the last couple of weeks. 375 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, that's an interesting and fair point. 376 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 9: I think a lot of investors, particularly on the retail side, 377 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 9: look at what's happening to the Brent spot price. That's 378 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 9: essentially the price traded in the Mid Atlantic. But what 379 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 9: you actually need to be looking at to get a 380 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 9: review of what's going on with Sassol is the dubaiophysical price. 381 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 9: And just to give you some sense there, I mean, 382 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 9: the tightness in the Middle East means that the dubaiophysical 383 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 9: price is closer to about one hundred and sixty dollars 384 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 9: a barrel, as opposed to Branch, which is trading closer 385 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 9: to one hundred dollars the barrel. Now, again, of course 386 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 9: that's simply because of the shortage of physical supply in 387 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 9: the Middle East, whereas that tight experience is not happening 388 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 9: in the Atlantic, for example. But it does give one 389 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 9: an indication of where diesel prices could be going. And 390 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 9: of course Sassal benefits from this directly through something called 391 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 9: the crackspread, which is essentially the margin that makes on 392 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 9: making the likes of diesel and petrol. 393 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 8: Bottom line is that this is going to be. 394 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 9: Highly supportive of their cash flows, and yeah, I think 395 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 9: he's going to potentially provide them with a very large 396 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 9: opportunity to delevel their balance sheets and potentially even play 397 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 9: dividends at some point. 398 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 2: Sure, Ryan Hill, thanks so much. He had a fundamental 399 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 2: sales at Abscess cib Yeah, all about what's happening in 400 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 2: the Middle East at the moment. You're the Money Show, 401 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 2: just gone six thirty. 402 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 4: What Stephen on seven two seven oh two one seven o. 403 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 2: Two, Well, you heard the conversation around vaccines. I have 404 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 2: to say I didn't think I've spent so much of 405 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 2: my life talking about vaccines again, but you heard the 406 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 2: conversation with John sten Hayes and the Agriculture Minister and 407 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 2: also of course the Farmers Group sigh. Has some interesting 408 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 2: responses to that this evening. 409 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 10: Hi, Stephen, whatever happened to the case of the army 410 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 10: who imported those vaccines for COVID? I think it was 411 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 10: some kind of horse medication. They spent millions on it. 412 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 10: Has someone been fired? 413 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 11: Just asking? 414 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 10: I mean there seems to be no consequence management for 415 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 10: our ministers. 416 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 2: I mean the issue of consequence management. I mean you 417 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 2: should hear the orders to general and the orders to 418 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 2: general before her, and the orders to general before him, 419 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 2: and the one before him, yeah, and the one before him, 420 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 2: or saying the same thing, you know, no consequence management. 421 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 2: I do remember that story. I think the Public Protector 422 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 2: eventually investigated or someone didn't. It was sort of reversed, 423 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 2: but I don't know if we got the money back. 424 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 2: It was with Cuba, if I remember correctly, I think 425 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 2: it was a very strange thing. You with the Money show. 426 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 2: It's twenty two minutes to seven. I do want to 427 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 2: point out something, if I name you may remember last 428 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 2: night at about this time, we got a voice note 429 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: from someone who asked what I thought was a very 430 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 2: interesting question. And certainly there's been some discussion about this 431 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 2: and sort of corners somewhere about whether or not Trump 432 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 2: or people close to him are playing games on the 433 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 2: markets because they know what he is going to do, 434 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 2: because he tells them, and what that would mean. Well, 435 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 2: Blumberg have the most astonishing stories this afternoon about futures markets. 436 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 2: And let me just explain the numbers here. So they 437 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 2: say that in the normal course of the day, early 438 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: in the morning in New York, so normally around the 439 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 2: period of around say ten minutes to seven in New 440 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 2: York time, on an average over the course of five days, 441 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 2: every day in that period, around seven hundred thousand barrels 442 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: of oil are traded in a futures market. In other words, 443 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 2: you pay for it now, you get it at a 444 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 2: future date. That's the future's market. So you're basically saying, 445 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 2: what is the future price of oil going to be? 446 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 2: That's the whole point. So an average of seven hundred 447 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 2: thousand barrels would normally be traded in that point yesterday 448 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 2: when Trump made the announcement, so six forty nine am, 449 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 2: six million barrels of oil were traded in that two 450 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 2: minute period, normally seven hundred thousand, this time six million. 451 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 2: At the same time, there was a massive increase in 452 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 2: trade on the SAP five hundred futures market and on 453 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 2: financial mind it's in Germany and parts of Europe all 454 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 2: at the same time. Trump made his announcement at seven 455 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 2: oh five am, soqull it. Thirteen minutes later, he made 456 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 2: the announcement. Now, I don't know enough, and frankly, I 457 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: don't know anyone who does know enough who can say 458 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 2: for sure that's insider trading, or that's this or whatever 459 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 2: it is. But can you think of another explanation? I mean, 460 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 2: maybe there is, But isn't it the strangest thing? So 461 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 2: when I said last night and the person said to me, well, 462 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 2: can you say that this is not happening? The answer 463 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 2: is no, I can't say it's not happening. 464 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: The Money Show with Stephen Schwitz on seven O twos 465 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: seven O twos. 466 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 2: Sixteen minutes to seven will obviously more concerned about the conflict, 467 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 2: the impact of the conflict around Iran and our economy. 468 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 2: But it does seem now that some ships are avoiding 469 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 2: sailing anywhere near that aread of going through, say the 470 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: Sewers Canal, they might now be sailing around our coast. 471 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 2: Timothy Walker's a senior researcher on maritime security at the 472 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 2: Institute for Security Studies. Timothy Good evening, are we seeing 473 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 2: much of an increase in traffic going around Cape Town 474 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 2: rather than going well anywhere near the Middle East? 475 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 12: Good evening, Stephen, and good evening to everyone listening. Thanks 476 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 12: for having me on Yes mask CMA, HAPAG Lloyd some 477 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 12: of the largest shipping companies in world. Container shipping companies 478 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 12: have decided that they are no longer going to operate 479 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 12: through wonder Strait of hor Moos for understandable reasons, but 480 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 12: two also looking at not returning to the Sewer's canal 481 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 12: route and therefore the only route really between Europe and 482 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 12: Asia will take them around South Africa. So we are 483 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 12: seeing an increase in container ships. In particular, they're very valuable. 484 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 12: The insurance you pay on those, for instance, in the 485 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 12: case of an attack or some kind of incident, is 486 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 12: a lot more of the value of the ship is 487 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 12: so much more so erring on the side of caution 488 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 12: shipping companies, shippers are choosing the Cape. 489 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 2: Route a lot more, and I presume it may be 490 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 2: a lot more expensive. It must be a lot more 491 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 2: expensive to come around the whole of Africa, but probably 492 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 2: less expensive than insurance. 493 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 12: That's the calculation to make. There's also if you're going 494 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 12: through the Sewez Canal, there's a pretty substantial toll you 495 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 12: pay to the Egyptians to go through and that plus 496 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 12: the insurance cost, which is normally quite quite little, it's 497 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 12: only about sort of a quarter of a percent of 498 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 12: the value of the ship, but once it rises to 499 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 12: about one or two percent, and the ship of value, 500 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 12: the kind of shipping which is going around the cape 501 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 12: now is valued well over one hundred million for a ship, 502 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 12: so you're looking at paying an extra million million and 503 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 12: a half. And there you calculate that against what kind 504 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 12: of extra fuel you have to take on to burn 505 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 12: because you are traveling quite a substantial longer distance as 506 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 12: well as time. The shipping companies don't tend to mind 507 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 12: that too much. They have, for instance, overcapacitated in the 508 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 12: last few years. They've built, particularly so COVID, a lot 509 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 12: more shipping container ships that is really required, so there's 510 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 12: more of them out to sea for longer. It means 511 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 12: there's a less demand. So rather they can sort of 512 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 12: charge quite a lot. So therefore all depends on the 513 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 12: kind of calculations you make, particularly around fuel. 514 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: When they do the longer route, they'll need bunkering, they'll 515 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 2: need supplies and oil. In particular, where is the sort 516 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 2: of best place for them to do that? Is it 517 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 2: in the South African port. I mean, you know, obviously 518 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 2: people in Cape Town are going to say, is there 519 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 2: anywhere else? But there might well be. 520 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 12: There are several places along the South African coast, in 521 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 12: particular Algoa Bay, which has several ships offshore barges which 522 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 12: are currently supplying or can be supplying ships which choose 523 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 12: to come around the Cape and refuel here. We've always 524 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 12: as a South African market struggled against the big, big 525 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 12: centers where ships choose to bunker will take on fuel 526 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 12: due to factors like the lack of paperwork, the supplying reliability, 527 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 12: the waiting time, and those are places like Singapore and 528 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 12: Rotterdam which tend to be the choke points but also 529 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 12: the end destinations for many of those ships. They take 530 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 12: on fuel there in particular, then if they're going through sewers, 531 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 12: they don't have to burn quite as much so they 532 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 12: don't have to stop in and if they're coming around 533 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 12: the Cape, yes they may choose to call in al Gourbey. 534 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 12: But there's also several other countries, Mauritius in particular and 535 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 12: Namibia who have really benefited in the last few years 536 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 12: from South Africa's implementation of its regulations, and it's actually 537 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 12: kind of caused a loss of the share of the 538 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 12: market and competitiveness to Namibia and Mauritius, and those things 539 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 12: are now being resolved slowly. But whether we're able to 540 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 12: scale it up enough, because there's a lot of ships now, 541 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 12: but we only have, like I say, a relatively few 542 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 12: number of barges. We're looking I think as a country 543 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 12: to grow that amount, But whether that can be done 544 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 12: quickly before potentially a change occur again and shipping reverts 545 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 12: to its normal patterns remains. 546 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 2: To be seen. What is the problem with the regulations? 547 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 2: Is there a tax implication? Obviously we tax all kinds 548 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 2: of oil and fuel. Is there something else well? 549 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 12: A large amout amount of it stems from a decision 550 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 12: a few years ago by stars in the Customs and 551 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 12: Excise Acts to close a loophole which many companies, where 552 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 12: it felt, had been exploiting, which is that when you 553 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 12: bring fuel into the country you need to pay an 554 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 12: import tax or a duty on that. But if you 555 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 12: were bringing it in to a ship and not taking 556 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 12: it ashore, so it wasn't kind of falling under the 557 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 12: definition of like an oil container on land, those were 558 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 12: the only things considered. 559 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 8: It was to be taxed. 560 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 12: Shipping companies, according to Stars, weren't paying that import duty, 561 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 12: so they seize several vessels. This is midway through twenty 562 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 12: twenty three, and that caused a lot of lack of 563 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 12: confidence in this African market itself. The regulations, the implementation 564 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 12: of those, it took it a while, as I said, 565 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 12: has sorted out. At the time it had sorted it up, 566 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 12: had lost market shared to whether other countries who didn't 567 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 12: have quite the same regulations or tax in import duties 568 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 12: and made themselves an attractive alternative. 569 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 2: So, I mean, it's an impossible question at Timothy. Obviously 570 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 2: the future of this conflict is yet to be written. 571 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 2: But is it fair to say that faith in shipping 572 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 2: in that whole area has been shaken? I mean, no 573 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 2: one really knows what's going to happen, but like oil markets, 574 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 2: I just can't help but think that there might be 575 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 2: a fundamental re understanding of what is safe from what 576 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 2: isn't in that area, certainly for let's say the next 577 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 2: six months, even if the conflict ended on Friday. 578 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's the maritime security has been taken for granted 579 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 12: for a long time. You know, the idea that ship 580 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 12: will arrive without being blocked or suffering some kind of hindrance. 581 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 12: Anywhere in the world. It's a fundamental part of international law, 582 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 12: the freedom of navigation on the high seas. Coastal states 583 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 12: aren't supposed to intercept or block or charge a toll 584 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 12: like the Iranians are saying they will do now on shipping. 585 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 12: That does seem to be changing quite fundamentally, especially in 586 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 12: that part of the world. This is where geography really 587 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 12: comes to play a massive part. To get as quickly 588 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 12: as you can from if we're taking a European or 589 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 12: an East Asian perspective to your major markets and partners, 590 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 12: you want to take the shortest possible route, and that 591 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 12: would be through the Sewers Canal. But to go through 592 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 12: that you have to go past the Arabian Peninsula, where 593 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 12: on both sides of its both sides where it has 594 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 12: choke points the Red Sea as well as the Strait 595 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 12: of Hormus. You've seen massive instability, and this is again 596 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 12: factoring in that the Huti in Yemen have not really 597 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 12: made their presence known. It's not as clear still whether 598 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 12: they would target many vessels as they did before, but 599 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 12: it's still enough to create a lot of concerns amongst 600 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 12: shipping that rather than take that risk, they will take 601 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 12: the longer route. But that longer route just adds again 602 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 12: to the overall cost of doing things and takes does 603 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 12: cause an economic hit for the rest of the world. 604 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 12: We do stand to benefit in some way through bunkering 605 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 12: and supplying ships if they choose to call in at 606 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 12: saff comports, but the long term global ramifications of just 607 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 12: instability in the Middle East are being felt in a 608 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 12: big way. 609 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 2: Timothy walk Up, thank you so much, Really appreciate that, 610 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 2: senior researcher on maritime security at the Institute for Security 611 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 2: Studies eight minutes now to seven the time you with 612 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,959 Speaker 2: the money show. Well, that's one aspect that's having an 613 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 2: impact on us, the increased shipping traffic around our coast. 614 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 2: But the other question of courses is the fact that 615 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 2: fuel prices are about to jump so dramatically going to 616 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 2: have an impact on cars you may be thinking of buying, 617 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 2: And even if fuel prices to moderate over time, electric 618 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,959 Speaker 2: cars are becoming cheaper and perhaps cheaper to run. If 619 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 2: you have a solar installation or if you'll work a workplace, 620 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 2: dos aue your local shopping mall suddenly the cost has changed. 621 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 2: Warren Tucker is a motoring expert. We're on Good Evening. 622 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 2: I think in a way we've fallen a bit behind 623 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 2: the rest of the world here. More and more countries 624 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 2: have so many of these electric cars on the road. 625 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 2: At the moment, we have a very small number of 626 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 2: electric cars being. 627 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 13: Sold, yes, Good Evening. So what you see in the 628 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 13: market is is because of the high cost of entry, 629 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,879 Speaker 13: you know, the electric cars at the moment are sort 630 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 13: of only a select few that would go that way. 631 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 13: You've obviously got your hybrid electric which is your petrol 632 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 13: and your electric engine. Those seem to be more common, 633 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 13: and what you kind of see people are more likely 634 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 13: to buy a hybrid before they buy a full electric vehicle. 635 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 13: Obviously based on the situation we had a couple of 636 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 13: years ago with load shedding. Okay, am I going to 637 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 13: go full electric? Am I going to be able to 638 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 13: charge my vehicle? You know, I'm going to have to 639 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 13: put up solar. So there's all those things to consider 640 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 13: when it comes to an electric vehicle. 641 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 2: And there's been a very wet march in carting. You 642 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 2: know that be a problem if you look at an 643 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 2: electric car, I mean what becomes interesting if you have 644 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 2: a bit of money, or if you can take it 645 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 2: out of your bond or something like that, you can 646 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 2: afford sometimes to look at the whole cost over the 647 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 2: lifetime of the car. Because an electric car probably needs 648 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 2: less servicing, they can be quite cheap to run. If 649 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,839 Speaker 2: you have access to solar, you can say, okay, over 650 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 2: five years or over ten years or whatever, this is 651 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 2: what this car will cost. If I buy a diesel 652 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 2: or a petrol car, this is what the car will cost. 653 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 2: And there'll be massive variables there because you don't know 654 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 2: what's going to happen to fuel prices. The problem is 655 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:46,800 Speaker 2: most people don't have the luxury of that horizon, and 656 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 2: they're expensive to buy upfront. Electric cars, I. 657 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 13: Mean definitely you see. So the issue with the electric 658 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 13: cars are simple. Your batteries your biggest cost. Even though 659 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 13: the price of your batteries come down about twenty five 660 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 13: percent compared from twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four, 661 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 13: your battery still remains the biggest cost on the vehicle. 662 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 13: And that's kind of where a lot of the stumbling 663 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 13: blocks in terms of getting into the electric or the 664 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 13: evy market. The thing with evy vehicles is because they 665 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 13: cost so much to purchase upfront. The pine a used 666 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 13: one might actually be more beneficial because their prices have 667 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 13: also started falling. I mean, yeah, and yeah, their prices 668 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,359 Speaker 13: have dropped fifteen percent. So, you know, because there's more 669 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 13: anti level electric vehicles in the market, productions obviously kicked up, 670 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 13: you know. So total cost of ownership, Yes, upfront is 671 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 13: a high cost to entry, but look at it holistically. 672 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 13: Over let's say an eight year period, because they say, well, 673 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 13: normally your battery would last about eight years, right you, 674 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 13: your total cost of ownership drops dramatically. However, tires for 675 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 13: electric v are sometimes can be a bit extensive. Service 676 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,399 Speaker 13: seller is basically just the braking system and a couple 677 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 13: of folters here in there, and that's about it. 678 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 2: I suppose. The other problem is that for a big country. Now, 679 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 2: if you're in the United States, for example, a much 680 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 2: richer country than us, you might have an electric car 681 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 2: that one person uses as a sort of run about, 682 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 2: you know, in the city, or and then another big 683 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 2: car that you use on holidays, or you borrow one 684 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 2: or your rent one. Here I think hardly anyone does that. 685 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 2: So you need one car that can take you to 686 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 2: and from work, pick up the kids, go to the supermarket, 687 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 2: to all of those things. And on a Friday afternoon 688 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 2: you live in Joeburg, you have to be able to 689 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 2: jump in that car and get a pulloqwani in one 690 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 2: move for the weekend, and we only have one car 691 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:46,239 Speaker 2: to do all. 692 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 13: Of that in definitely, you see in America and all 693 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 13: your more developed countries, you've got various ways to get 694 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 13: from point eight to point B. You can use the bus, 695 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 13: you can use the train, You've got options. In South 696 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 13: Africa not really. Our rail system for a long time 697 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 13: is being neglected. The buses are constantly competing on the 698 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 13: taxis who are constantly competing on the buses, and you've 699 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 13: got a situation where if you don't have a vehicle, 700 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 13: you know you're kind of stuck. You need to make 701 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 13: a plan to get where you need to go. We 702 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 13: do have a network that to set up for recharging vehicles. 703 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 13: So what they did is you can drive basically from 704 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,720 Speaker 13: Jobok to Cape Town, Jobok to Naisner, Robok to Pe 705 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 13: and I think Jobok to Cape Durbin as well. And 706 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 13: the garages are clearly noted where you can stop and 707 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 13: charge your ev vehicle. But it's not How can I say, 708 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 13: it's not like they've got fifty charging stations there. They 709 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 13: normally have four or five, And those charging stations are 710 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 13: available because there aren't that many electric vehicles on the road. 711 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 13: Should that start to change and you start seeing a 712 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,120 Speaker 13: situation where there are more electric vehicles on the road, 713 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 13: then these sites obviously will need to be beefed up, 714 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 13: which means the demand will incase you need to obviously 715 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 13: supply those sites of power. So all those things sort 716 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 13: of wherever knock on efflect. That's why I say that 717 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 13: the public seems to where, at least in South Africa, 718 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 13: they might accept in a hybrid electric vehicle because I 719 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 13: still have a petrol engine, right, so I can put 720 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 13: petrol in if I need to. I've got this electric 721 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 13: motor as a backup. So when I'm in town or 722 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 13: city driving, I'm riding on electric motor. If I need 723 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 13: to get on the highway, I'm going to drive with 724 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 13: a petrol engine. And you've kind of got a best 725 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,239 Speaker 13: of both worlds. And that system seems to be sort 726 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 13: of more the publics accepting more of that sort of 727 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,280 Speaker 13: system than the full electric vehicle. 728 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 2: Larren Tucker, so much to talk about, so interesting.

Why you mustn't do your will 749 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 2: yourself in other words, the risks, the pitfalls, things you 750 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 2: have to take into account, and why it's a good 751 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 2: idea to actually you get an expert to do it, 752 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 2: or to just make sure everything's taken care of. I mean, 753 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 2: some of the best soap operas ever have had stories 754 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 2: about wills because you know, it's all complicated and people argue, 755 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 2: and I'm always amazed at the number of people who 756 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 2: seem to change their will at the last minute. I mean, 757 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 2: always a bit suspicious, frankly, I mean surely. I mean, 758 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,240 Speaker 2: do the people in your life change that quickly? Really? Okay? 759 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 2: You know, did the one child slight you in some way? 760 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 2: Were they rude? On the latest WhatsApp? I mean, it's 761 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,480 Speaker 2: a very interesting thing. But how to make sure your 762 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,759 Speaker 2: will works? So yeah, looking forward to that. Will take 763 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 2: questions as well on that good year from you? Oh 764 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 2: double one double A three oh seven or two and 765 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 2: two one four four six, five six seven. 766 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,359 Speaker 3: The Loly Show with Stephen Kruer's Live on ninety two 767 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,799 Speaker 3: point seven and one six FM streaming on the Prime 768 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 3: Media Plus. 769 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 11: NAP and DStv channel eight five six. 770 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 2: So interesting to see a comment from a netcare earlier 771 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,919 Speaker 2: today and they were basically making a very interesting point. 772 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 2: They were giving it just a trading update, and they 773 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 2: said that essentially there was they had noticed that medical 774 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 2: schemes seemed to be a little tighter this year. In 775 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 2: other words, they seem to be making people jump through 776 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 2: more hoops to get hospital treatment approved, and as a result, 777 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 2: Netcare wasn't doing quite the same number of hospital procedures. 778 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 6: Now. 779 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 2: A couple of things are going on in the medical 780 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 2: aid industry and if I remember correctly, and this is 781 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 2: off the top of my head, Discovery by far the 782 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 2: biggest actually delayed it's increase because of its financial position, 783 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 2: which is quite strong. It delayed the increase in what 784 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,879 Speaker 2: people will pay. I think it's six months quite a while. 785 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 2: So that's the one thing. You've also got, as we know, 786 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 2: sort of longer term concerns about the medical aid industry. 787 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,800 Speaker 2: And that's because the younger people are sort of not 788 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 2: having medical aid. The people who are left on it 789 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 2: are older people. They needed more. You don't have quite 790 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 2: the same contributions all of those things, and so that's 791 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 2: a part of the issue. But just an interesting comment 792 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,400 Speaker 2: from Netcare that sort of medical aids schemes seem to 793 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 2: be a little tighter. So my question, I suppose have 794 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 2: you noticed that now? No, almost everyone I know, almost 795 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 2: every adult I know who has medical aid, has had 796 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 2: a fight with their medical aid at some point or another. 797 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 2: And you can spend hours going through the minushi of this, 798 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 2: and that I know people who've actually sort of appealed 799 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 2: the decision and ended up in front of a group 800 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 2: of people who took them very seriously. I didn't know 801 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,320 Speaker 2: such a thing existed. But have you noticed a change 802 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,319 Speaker 2: in what your medical aid is authorizing? Please? Oh seven 803 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 2: two seven oh two one seven o two. 804 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,280 Speaker 3: Is on The Money Show six to eight pm. 805 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,600 Speaker 2: I don't know if you're quite as frustrated as in 806 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,040 Speaker 2: you probably are by the sheer number of calls you 807 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,240 Speaker 2: get to your cell phone. That is someone you don't 808 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 2: know trying to sell you something, usually something that you 809 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 2: don't need for some reason. I'm in some car insurance 810 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 2: company books. And then there are people who say that no, 811 00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 2: we'll reduce your loans. Yeah, whatever, I'm going to trust you. 812 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 2: I don't know, though, if you've had the experience of 813 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 2: someone you know offering you a service, maybe someone in 814 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 2: your neighborhood. So on my street, WhatsApp group. I've noticed 815 00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 2: a few people who live in the street will advertise 816 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 2: their services, and I have to say, if I ever 817 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 2: actually need a service, they're the first person I go to. 818 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,399 Speaker 2: I don't necessarily know that their service will be better. 819 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 2: I may not even know them that well, but hey, 820 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 2: they're on their street, my street What'sapp group, so they've 821 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,720 Speaker 2: got to be good, right. It's interesting that just because 822 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,280 Speaker 2: I sort of know them well.

I mean, you share 840 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,839 Speaker 15: or someone says something in your network or your WhatsApp group, 841 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,840 Speaker 15: and you automatically kind of trust them. It's a funny 842 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 15: kind of you know, a funny kind of concept. Maybe 843 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,840 Speaker 15: it's because you know it's their proof of existence. You know, 844 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 15: you share you know, a dog walk, or you see them, 845 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 15: you know, over over the fence or whatever, and you 846 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,560 Speaker 15: automatically think, well, I know them, they're like minded, and 847 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 15: I trust them. So we've kind of taken that concept 848 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 15: of really kind of that trust element and then obviously 849 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 15: the membership based of like minded individuals and businessmen and 850 00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,479 Speaker 15: women and not all looking for data as you refer 851 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 15: to them things them in the lift, and really putting 852 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 15: that onto a platform which you have access to, immediate 853 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 15: access to, so you're cutting out that noise, you know, 854 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,399 Speaker 15: if you're going to LinkedIn or whatever that might look 855 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 15: like I'm searching for say I'm looking for a marketer 856 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 15: or I'm looking for a graphic designer. I can choose 857 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 15: bi sector, I can choose by location and by organizations, 858 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,320 Speaker 15: so it's a really really seamless way of looking for 859 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:31,400 Speaker 15: a professional that you're looking for, and you know it's 860 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 15: quick and it's sufficient and effective. So really that's been 861 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 15: our approach and something quite quite new. 862 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,000 Speaker 2: Have people been making these connections anyway? I mean I 863 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 2: am the kind of person you don't really want to 864 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,400 Speaker 2: be in a lift with me because I ask you 865 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 2: how you are, what your name is, where you're from, 866 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,920 Speaker 2: how many children you have, how much they irritate you. 867 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,040 Speaker 2: But have people been making these connections anyway? 868 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,399 Speaker 15: I think they have. But I think you know, we've 869 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 15: we've kind of we've moved into a space where people 870 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 15: are really busy, you know, they don't have the time 871 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,799 Speaker 15: and the day. Yes, they connect authentically over a cup 872 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 15: of coffee around you know, the coffee stations or the 873 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,799 Speaker 15: barister stations. But now we're giving you something that, as 874 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 15: I said, it's really kind of almost network as a service, 875 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 15: so you know, you can quickly tap into it. I 876 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 15: can say, Okay, that person's you know, sitting next to 877 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,759 Speaker 15: me or down the hall there in marketing, and I 878 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,800 Speaker 15: want to connect with them, and it's it's literally a 879 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,960 Speaker 15: really informal intro, but I really know them because now 880 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,759 Speaker 15: I can just walk down. I've made that connection, I 881 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,000 Speaker 15: can walk down down the passage, and now you know 882 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 15: we literally can move from there. 883 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 2: The type of people who use your facility, so your customers, 884 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,479 Speaker 2: I don't know if you call them community members or something, 885 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,920 Speaker 2: but can I say, in a couple of times i've 886 00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 2: sort of been into your facilities, I've noticed they are 887 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 2: a very particular kind of person. Let me say, a 888 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,440 Speaker 2: sort of upwardly mobile. There's someone who's clearly sort of 889 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,400 Speaker 2: successful in their own sense. Does that act as a 890 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,760 Speaker 2: sort of self selecting filter. It's only a particular kind 891 00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 2: of person. 892 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 15: I think you're absolutely right. I mean, look, we've got 893 00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 15: a base of about eight thousand professionals and over one 894 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:10,320 Speaker 15: hundred different sectors, so absolutely like minded individuals. You know 895 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 15: they are obviously from as you say, definitely professionals. We 896 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 15: can and people can filter out that professional that digital directory. 897 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 15: So you know they come to the space and they're 898 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,480 Speaker 15: looking for the same thing. So immediately, you know, we 899 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 15: talk about looking as that network as a service idea, 900 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,040 Speaker 15: they're looking for those self fulfilling same things. 901 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,600 Speaker 2: The people who go to your offices, they reready been 902 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,319 Speaker 2: looking for a workspace. I mean most of them. At 903 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 2: one point, we are probably just looking for a place 904 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,239 Speaker 2: where the electricity and the Wi Fi always worked. Now 905 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 2: that's a little easier, but they'll stay where they are. 906 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 2: There must be now you're offering this, I mean, there 907 00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 2: must be value in the directory itself. You've actually got 908 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,759 Speaker 2: a collection of people who are known to be sort 909 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,560 Speaker 2: of vaguely good at what they do. That's valuable. I mean, 910 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 2: that's valuable for your customers. 911 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,080 Speaker 15: It's hugely valuable. I think we've we've really moved away 912 00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,120 Speaker 15: just to work just sort of a desk or an 913 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:05,920 Speaker 15: office or just an office space or. 914 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 11: Any of that. 915 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 15: Not really, it's it's hugely, hugely valuable because you know, 916 00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 15: whatever you you know, it's a scarcity, and if you 917 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,720 Speaker 15: look at things like LinkedIn, it's become such a digital noise. 918 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,560 Speaker 15: I don't want to go onto that platform and start 919 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 15: sifting out through the noise and sending a message. It 920 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,520 Speaker 15: might actually just sit in an in box for six 921 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,320 Speaker 15: to eight ten months or never get onswered wherever. I know, 922 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,239 Speaker 15: you know, these are the individuals that are actually doing 923 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,360 Speaker 15: and working as hard or maybe not as hard as me, 924 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,360 Speaker 15: or but really they're they're they're in the same you know, 925 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,440 Speaker 15: the same capacity. So absolutely, it's it's it's really is 926 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,960 Speaker 15: it's really you know, working in that regard. 927 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,239 Speaker 2: How are you finding business at the moment. I mean 928 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 2: that you're seeing a lot more people coming in. Did 929 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,160 Speaker 2: load shedding the end of load shedding have an impact 930 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:48,719 Speaker 2: in any way? 931 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 15: Load shedding was fantastic for business, not so great for 932 00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,160 Speaker 15: their economy also South Africa, but really fantastic for business. 933 00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,480 Speaker 15: And we've actually never been busier. It's really been fantastic. 934 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,920 Speaker 15: We've got you know, I think with the advent of 935 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 15: of you know, people going back to to to the 936 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 15: office space, large companies obviously kind of sending a lot 937 00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:15,680 Speaker 15: of their workforce back into office spaces. We're seeing all 938 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,759 Speaker 15: sorts of from the sol entrepreneur to large big enterprises 939 00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 15: coming through btos, bespoke office solutions. So we are getting 940 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,440 Speaker 15: you know, the spaces are full. So you've got a 941 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 15: great demographic of you know, individuals to large different companies 942 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,319 Speaker 15: coming to the space to utilizing the space. So there's 943 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,719 Speaker 15: a great cross sector, as I said, over one hundred 944 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 15: different sectors to pull from. So it's a great directory 945 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,680 Speaker 15: and really beneficial from the individual to the large organizations. 946 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,040 Speaker 8: It's not just yeah, it's not. 947 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,840 Speaker 15: It's not necessary, you know, just looking for someone to 948 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,399 Speaker 15: do business, you know, someone to say, for example, I'm 949 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,840 Speaker 15: looking for X person, you know, like a contractor or whatnot. 950 00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,320 Speaker 15: You know, it could be it could at ranges, you know, 951 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,480 Speaker 15: whether they're want an expertise or a speaker, or a 952 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 15: connection or a contractor.

So I suppose my question to you then 955 00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,879 Speaker 2: would be when do you answer the phone and why? 956 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:19,800 Speaker 2: And when you're looking for a particular service, who do 957 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,680 Speaker 2: you contact? Is it someone who lives in your area? 958 00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 2: I know so many people. I mean when I have 959 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 2: things done or I need something done, what I usually 960 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,800 Speaker 2: do is I ask a friend or I ask I 961 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,800 Speaker 2: actually ask my street WhatsApp group. Does anyone know a 962 00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 2: person who will do this? 963 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:36,359 Speaker 14: Well? 964 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 2: Does anyone knows someone who you know? Does anyone basically 965 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,880 Speaker 2: use the person and being happy with their service? And 966 00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,000 Speaker 2: should I use them? Sometimes you get people to say, look, 967 00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 2: i'll give you this number, but I don't know if 968 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 2: I would use them, or they'll be very honest with 969 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:55,279 Speaker 2: their experience quite often though. The first response, certainly on 970 00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 2: my street WhatsApp group because it's a nice place, it's 971 00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 2: a nice street, is someone will say you, what's this person? 972 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,320 Speaker 2: They're very good, this is what they did for me, 973 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,319 Speaker 2: and so on you go because there's no stronger recommendation. 974 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 2: So that idea of that proximity. I think the other thing, 975 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,359 Speaker 2: and we must be honest about this, is that if 976 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,800 Speaker 2: you I think there are two ways that make you 977 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,400 Speaker 2: trust someone fundamentally. The one is if you've known them 978 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,239 Speaker 2: for a long time, so you might have known someone 979 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 2: when they were young, you worked with them for ten years, 980 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,360 Speaker 2: you go away for five years, you come back, you 981 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,920 Speaker 2: see them again. You immediately trust them because you know them. 982 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:28,360 Speaker 6: You just do. 983 00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:30,960 Speaker 2: And the second is if you know where someone lives. 984 00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 2: And I don't mean that in a threatening way. I 985 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,600 Speaker 2: mean in a way that you live in the same 986 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 2: area as them. You know that if they do something 987 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 2: wrong to you, they are themselves vulnerable. The other way, 988 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 2: so you know they aren't going to do anything aggressive. 989 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,640 Speaker 2: I think that's really one way of looking at it. 990 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:48,400 Speaker 2: Nineteen minutes now after seven. 991 00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,760 Speaker 1: Your Money Show Africa Business. 992 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,120 Speaker 2: Focus professor Rotendo and Dingree founding director a Tribe Africa, 993 00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 2: advisory and author of Rumble in the Jungle Reloaded Rotinda. 994 00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:58,480 Speaker 2: How's it going? 995 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,479 Speaker 6: Not too sure?

Obviously we know them kind of for 1000 00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 2: their mining. Now they're finally looking at a sugar production project. 1001 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 6: Definitely step in the right direction, Stephen DRC. As we 1002 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:24,400 Speaker 6: know historically it's invested significantly mining, but in trying to 1003 00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:28,680 Speaker 6: diversify the economy. They're focusing on on on a sugar 1004 00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:33,680 Speaker 6: manufacturing plant. So obviously they want to stop the importation 1005 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 6: or reduce the importation of sugar. At the moment, Steve, 1006 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,520 Speaker 6: they're important about one hundred and fifty million US dollars 1007 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,440 Speaker 6: worth of sugar every year. And they've got the well, 1008 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,200 Speaker 6: they've got the land, definitely, they've also got the potential 1009 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 6: money to put into the infrastructure. So really obviously by 1010 00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:54,319 Speaker 6: building this refinery processing sugar, and they also create an 1011 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:58,560 Speaker 6: agri value chain of jobs of infrastructure and and and 1012 00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,120 Speaker 6: build self capacity which is a big thing. And we've 1013 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,960 Speaker 6: seen Angola, which relies heavily on oil now also diversifying 1014 00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:08,320 Speaker 6: and branching also into other areas including technology. So definitely 1015 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,200 Speaker 6: people For dir SE with all its other challenges, this 1016 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,480 Speaker 6: would be a positive thing because their sea geographical is 1017 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:18,160 Speaker 6: one of the biggest countries on the continent, so definitely 1018 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:19,759 Speaker 6: step in the right direction. And the and the and 1019 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,000 Speaker 6: the location is called Satania and it's in the Katanga province. 1020 00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,360 Speaker 6: So we look forward to seeing the development of this 1021 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,720 Speaker 6: and often in three years will go live and produce 1022 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,920 Speaker 6: their first three kilograms. It's been their target. 1023 00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,160 Speaker 2: I mean, look, there is over supply of sugar at 1024 00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,120 Speaker 2: the moment, but I mean the whole point here is 1025 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,360 Speaker 2: that you need a manufacturing economy. I mean, in some 1026 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,360 Speaker 2: ways we've had the same problem, but particularly for the DLC, 1027 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,720 Speaker 2: which relies so much on mining and it often causes conflict. 1028 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 6: It always comes well, I think a lot of things 1029 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,239 Speaker 6: cause conflict in the In the d r C. They've 1030 00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:53,040 Speaker 6: got mining the diamonds, then big demand with regards to 1031 00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 6: transition metals and ray metals as well as peven so 1032 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,279 Speaker 6: and I think the challenge is is the sustainability of 1033 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,480 Speaker 6: this project, bearing in mind the politics and the civil 1034 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,760 Speaker 6: war that's happening around. But you know, if our president 1035 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,200 Speaker 6: shakey with his leadership and the private sector. They've got 1036 00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 6: all the high components. The weather is great for growing 1037 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 6: sugarcane as well as manufacturing. They've got the capacity. Investors 1038 00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 6: do flock into the GRC for one reason or the other. 1039 00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:26,640 Speaker 6: So at the end of the day, they've got all 1040 00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 6: the ingredients. Steven, they just have to make it work. 1041 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,759 Speaker 6: So it's a bold step, but a very necessary one. 1042 00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,880 Speaker 6: Talking to industrialization, which is a big thing that Africa 1043 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:37,959 Speaker 6: needs in terms of taking it to the next level 1044 00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:39,720 Speaker 6: as an economy and growing. 1045 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:44,640 Speaker 2: China is looking at cutting solar incentives for Africa, and 1046 00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 2: Elon Musk has been negotiating a big Chinese solar equipment 1047 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:49,440 Speaker 2: deal for Tesla. 1048 00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:53,920 Speaker 6: To put a figure to it and inner Mass because 1049 00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,960 Speaker 6: there never small Steven, it's two point nine billion US dollars. 1050 00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,319 Speaker 6: And this just talks to pure geo economics. But I've 1051 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 6: always said, Stephen that I was actually quoting one of 1052 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:08,040 Speaker 6: the key government leaders will say that Joe economics always 1053 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,919 Speaker 6: trumps geopolitics, and this is what is happening. Yeah, irrespective 1054 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:15,040 Speaker 6: of the dilemma between the US and China, Elomask is 1055 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,680 Speaker 6: pruck a deal to build a two point nine billion 1056 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:22,279 Speaker 6: dollar investment of solar energy. It's about one hundred gigauts 1057 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,000 Speaker 6: of energy that you are to build in Silicon City 1058 00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,000 Speaker 6: in the USA. The raw materials he needs for this, 1059 00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:32,040 Speaker 6: Steven is going to be obviously coming from China. Now, 1060 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,600 Speaker 6: the down inside from Africa is there was a lot 1061 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,400 Speaker 6: of text rebates and exporting centives that were given to 1062 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:41,880 Speaker 6: people exporting from China two countries like Africa to incentivise 1063 00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,319 Speaker 6: them to offer. But because they just struck this deal 1064 00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,080 Speaker 6: soon after that the announcement was made by government that 1065 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,160 Speaker 6: then they won't be directly linked. But everybody suspect that's 1066 00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:54,880 Speaker 6: the case. But all those a number of those rebates 1067 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:58,000 Speaker 6: and texts incentives are going to be taken away from 1068 00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,000 Speaker 6: a US perspective in a step in the right direction. 1069 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:04,360 Speaker 6: They need this infrastructure for energy and to power the 1070 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:08,000 Speaker 6: AIG and the EV world that's coming into play. China 1071 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,719 Speaker 6: is going to be definitely benefiting because obviously two point 1072 00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:14,919 Speaker 6: nine billion in the economy from industrialization perspective is absolutely great. 1073 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,800 Speaker 6: The downside from Africa, and it's a lesson learns again, 1074 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,520 Speaker 6: is that because we are on the tailing, we are 1075 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,440 Speaker 6: going to miss out from this if we don't position 1076 00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,920 Speaker 6: ourselves correctly. And what I mean by that, Stiven, is 1077 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:29,680 Speaker 6: that fifty five percent of the transition metals raw materials 1078 00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 6: that China needs actually come from Africa. So we need 1079 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,760 Speaker 6: to push ourselves up the value chair and say, hey on, guys, 1080 00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,880 Speaker 6: how can we get more out of this deal? Let 1081 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,800 Speaker 6: just get on the tailing. But ultimately it's a big 1082 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,480 Speaker 6: deal for the US in China and Africa is going 1083 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 6: to be left in the lurch if they're not careful. 1084 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,080 Speaker 2: And then the World Bank, it's a big project for 1085 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,040 Speaker 2: Banina and Mauritania to protect their coastlines and then also 1086 00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,880 Speaker 2: create jobs in the sea economy, the blue economy. 1087 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 6: So we under estimate, I think in Africa, we know 1088 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,080 Speaker 6: we usually are lendlock focused into terms of infrastructure, in 1089 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:04,439 Speaker 6: terms of mining, in terms of agriculture, but the blue 1090 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:08,080 Speaker 6: economy plays a big part with regards to driving the 1091 00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,560 Speaker 6: lens of African continent. The World Bank Steven has injected 1092 00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:16,400 Speaker 6: a two hundred and forty million US dollar investment into 1093 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 6: Mauritania and bernin that to support the blue economy and 1094 00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,960 Speaker 6: the investments around that. It will also contributes to to 1095 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,200 Speaker 6: reduce blooding and also evolsion that was happening on the sides. 1096 00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,840 Speaker 6: It's a compact or the investment is through the West 1097 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:35,440 Speaker 6: African coastal area's blue economy, and really it's also to 1098 00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:39,320 Speaker 6: stimulate job They expect about thirty one job thirty one 1099 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,720 Speaker 6: thousand jobs by twenty thirty, but three thousand probably to 1100 00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:47,000 Speaker 6: come up in the coming year. The success of this 1101 00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,480 Speaker 6: is not just from an economic perspective in terms of 1102 00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 6: creating jobs, but also contributing to the biodiversity and just 1103 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:58,360 Speaker 6: make sure that the fauna and flora around the shows 1104 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,600 Speaker 6: of Bernina and Mauritania reserve. So ultimately a great opportunity 1105 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 6: for investment in terms of taking both countries forward. The 1106 00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,440 Speaker 6: challenge with the with the loads that come from the 1107 00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,160 Speaker 6: world based eve and we know that Africa is never 1108 00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,480 Speaker 6: really good at at balancing these off in terms of 1109 00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:19,920 Speaker 6: policy sustainability and were sence in Kenya, remember President hut 1110 00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:24,440 Speaker 6: came into power and the way these bad loans that 1111 00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,840 Speaker 6: he edited and we saw what was happening with the 1112 00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:30,160 Speaker 6: young people with the riots because people will be texted 1113 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,240 Speaker 6: now to pay for that, et cetera, et cetera. So 1114 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:36,400 Speaker 6: again it's a it's a characteristic situation and we just 1115 00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,960 Speaker 6: hope that this plans relates into a sustainable social economic 1116 00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:43,000 Speaker 6: development that takes the country forward. But in principle, Stephen, 1117 00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:44,920 Speaker 6: it's a step again in the right direction. 1118 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:50,120 Speaker 2: And then Toyota Social is partnering with the company they're 1119 00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,720 Speaker 2: involved in a very heavy rare earth project in the movie. 1120 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:54,760 Speaker 2: I mean that's fascinating. 1121 00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:00,120 Speaker 6: Yeah. So and you said Socio very nicely. So that 1122 01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,320 Speaker 6: Sushial is part of the Toyota group and there's a 1123 01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:07,320 Speaker 6: big investment with regards to to to to rare metals 1124 01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,400 Speaker 6: and they've parted up with with the Canadian listed company 1125 01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,960 Speaker 6: that's that's also invested in Amibia. Toyota obviously a Japanese 1126 01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:20,040 Speaker 6: company and Uh, they're also partnered with their local entity 1127 01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 6: called the Japan Organization of Metals and Energy Security and 1128 01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,040 Speaker 6: they the rare metals were picking up us specifically Steven, 1129 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:33,120 Speaker 6: that will be subject to this mining esporosium and it 1130 01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,200 Speaker 6: makes me feel like my high school science plus again. 1131 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:36,760 Speaker 7: Uh. 1132 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:41,800 Speaker 6: And the price per for their the exposium Steven, it's 1133 01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 6: used for electric vehicles and UH wind to abse and 1134 01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,720 Speaker 6: the price packages about nine hundred US dollars, so it's 1135 01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 6: not cheap. So the investment and the infrastructure required harvested 1136 01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,680 Speaker 6: out of the ground to mining perspectives, also not cheap, 1137 01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,880 Speaker 6: but again a great opportunity for Namibia that sense, and. 1138 01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:01,800 Speaker 2: Then very quickly profit. Rhana has been introduced to a 1139 01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,240 Speaker 2: Ugandan park that they were there forty years ago and 1140 01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 2: finally their back. 1141 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:08,960 Speaker 6: They used to have a total of seven hundred in 1142 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:14,680 Speaker 6: Uganda and obviously due to poaching uh and being slaughtered 1143 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,280 Speaker 6: for their homes and then their meat, the only they 1144 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,400 Speaker 6: were left to nothing. Two of them have been brought 1145 01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 6: back from another private reserve. That's a good story. They 1146 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:28,520 Speaker 6: are two southern in terms of the southern type rhinos Africa, 1147 01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:30,640 Speaker 6: believe it or not, as only a butt fifteen thousand 1148 01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 6: white finals in total. So these are white chinos the 1149 01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:37,480 Speaker 6: northern type, the only two left in the whole of 1150 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 6: Africa and they're in Kenya.

We took out to what Uganda 1156 01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:55,560 Speaker 6: is do it from a old life perspective. 1157 01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:58,040 Speaker 2: Professor Rutundo and drink.

Today Sharon Hammond is joining us instead 1161 01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,440 Speaker 2: a senior legal advisor at momentum. But let me first 1162 01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:19,720 Speaker 2: just set the scene. So imagine that you draw up 1163 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:21,400 Speaker 2: will you get it? Will you get it from a 1164 01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:26,120 Speaker 2: certain place? And off you go, and unfortunately you pass away. 1165 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:30,640 Speaker 2: And then this is what happens at that moment, when 1166 01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,320 Speaker 2: everyone's around waiting for the will to be read. 1167 01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,920 Speaker 16: All my assets, both liquid and otherwise, I leave in 1168 01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:41,440 Speaker 16: their entirety to Marta Cabrera. My entire ownership of Blood 1169 01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,880 Speaker 16: Like Wine Publishing, I leave in its entirety to Marta 1170 01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:48,320 Speaker 16: Cabrera the copyright of its catalog. Likewise, I leave in 1171 01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:50,400 Speaker 16: its entirety to Marta Cabrera. 1172 01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:57,000 Speaker 2: No, that's not that's no, that can't be. 1173 01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:57,880 Speaker 17: Can I see that? 1174 01:02:57,960 --> 01:02:58,840 Speaker 13: Please? An't right? 1175 01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:05,120 Speaker 2: Please it's right? Can you imagine? Can you imagine if 1176 01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,880 Speaker 2: you're wondering it's from the movie Knives Out? But can 1177 01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:11,640 Speaker 2: you imagine if that's what happens with your will. Well, 1178 01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:13,680 Speaker 2: Sharon Hammond is one of those people who make sure 1179 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 2: that it doesn't. Sharon, Good evening, and thanks so much 1180 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:17,960 Speaker 2: for joining us on Personal Finance tonight. 1181 01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,480 Speaker 11: Good evening, Steven, it's good to be here. 1182 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:25,720 Speaker 2: Okay, so we're talking about why you need to actually 1183 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,400 Speaker 2: make sure your will is sorted out. And I know 1184 01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,760 Speaker 2: that you can get wills online, you can buy them, 1185 01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,680 Speaker 2: you can fill them in and it's kind of done. 1186 01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:37,920 Speaker 2: But there are many issues that happen when you do this, 1187 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,840 Speaker 2: and one of the things is a will which is 1188 01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,720 Speaker 2: valid but is not executable. What does that mean? Why 1189 01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:46,560 Speaker 2: would a will not be executable? 1190 01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:52,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think a lot of people think they've drafted 1191 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 7: a will, or even if they do a homemade will 1192 01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,640 Speaker 7: and they've signed it and they've got the witnesses to 1193 01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,560 Speaker 7: go sign with them, that everything is sorted But the 1194 01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,680 Speaker 7: difference between having a valid will, which means that you 1195 01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 7: fulfill the requirements of the will's act, is quite different 1196 01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:13,120 Speaker 7: to having an executable will, which is where the executor 1197 01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:16,880 Speaker 7: can actually give effect to your wishes. So similarly to 1198 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:21,600 Speaker 7: your example, you are pushing out your assets, you're saying 1199 01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:25,440 Speaker 7: my house goes to this child, my investment goes to 1200 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,880 Speaker 7: that child. The vehicles go yeah, and everybody is happy 1201 01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,440 Speaker 7: because they're getting something. For the executor to then come 1202 01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,400 Speaker 7: in and say, the executor is the person that's got 1203 01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:38,760 Speaker 7: the job to actually deal with this estate. And he says, well, 1204 01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:42,320 Speaker 7: it's all great and lovely, but first of all, have 1205 01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:46,640 Speaker 7: to pay me to do my job. Secondly, receiver of 1206 01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,720 Speaker 7: revenue standing in line because there's something like your state 1207 01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:53,520 Speaker 7: duty that might be payable, or there's expenses because we 1208 01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:54,400 Speaker 7: have to pay the. 1209 01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,400 Speaker 11: Transfer costs to transfer the property to you. 1210 01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,320 Speaker 7: There's debts that must be so all of a sudden, 1211 01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,200 Speaker 7: the thing is, we've got all these assets, we've each 1212 01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,480 Speaker 7: got a claim to it, but we can't have it 1213 01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:08,480 Speaker 7: because we're going to have. 1214 01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,920 Speaker 11: To sell it to actually pay all these expenses. 1215 01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:14,600 Speaker 7: Where if you made sufficient provision by doing a proper 1216 01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,960 Speaker 7: estate plan, and you could determine, okay, i've got a 1217 01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,320 Speaker 7: lot of clients or acid reach, but they don't have 1218 01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:23,440 Speaker 7: a lot of cash, they can say, let's make provision 1219 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:26,240 Speaker 7: for it, either by way of life insurance or by 1220 01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:29,800 Speaker 7: way of earmarking a specific acid that can be sold 1221 01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:33,840 Speaker 7: to generate this cash to then give effect to all 1222 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:37,040 Speaker 7: the other wishes that are basically put in my wall, 1223 01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,600 Speaker 7: so that the executor can then sort the Holy State 1224 01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:41,960 Speaker 7: out without having to dispose of those assets. 1225 01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,120 Speaker 2: Okay, I mean there's another issue, which is what's called 1226 01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,840 Speaker 2: and I always find this spelling the pronunciation of this tricky. 1227 01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:53,120 Speaker 2: It's the Interstate Succession So interstate, if I remember, is 1228 01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,360 Speaker 2: what happens if someone dies without a will. 1229 01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,360 Speaker 7: Yes, So if you die without a word or a 1230 01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:04,360 Speaker 7: valid will, then you will fall under the Interstate Succession Act. 1231 01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:07,439 Speaker 7: So it doesn't mean that the government takes all your money, 1232 01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,920 Speaker 7: because some people believe that that does not happen. 1233 01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:14,360 Speaker 11: But the Interstate Succession Act is very clear in how 1234 01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:15,760 Speaker 11: assets will distributed. 1235 01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 7: So the big risk is that what you might have 1236 01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,240 Speaker 7: intended to happen will not happen because of the Interstate 1237 01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:27,040 Speaker 7: Succession Act. So, if you've got a spouse and children, 1238 01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:31,000 Speaker 7: the Act determines that a spouse will get a child's 1239 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,320 Speaker 7: share plus one and the kids will get the rest. 1240 01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,800 Speaker 7: Where most often the spouse should be or is the 1241 01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:40,280 Speaker 7: only app because they obviously often have to sl go 1242 01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:43,640 Speaker 7: after the children. So to leave it to the Interstate 1243 01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:47,800 Speaker 7: Succession Act is really risky because it will not necessarily 1244 01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:49,200 Speaker 7: pan out the way you want it to. 1245 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:51,920 Speaker 2: What does a child share plus one mean? 1246 01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:56,720 Speaker 7: So if you've got three children, they will divide the 1247 01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:01,240 Speaker 7: estate between that and the spouse gets basically one shap 1248 01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,560 Speaker 7: plus another one, and there's a minimum which you will get, 1249 01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,880 Speaker 7: which is two hundred and fifty thousand or the child 1250 01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:09,600 Speaker 7: shap plus one, whichever is the greater. 1251 01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,040 Speaker 2: Okay, I mean it's an interesting way to work out 1252 01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:16,840 Speaker 2: or formula. So I mean that would be spelled out 1253 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,200 Speaker 2: quite kelly. That's what happens if you die without a will? 1254 01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:21,880 Speaker 2: Does it also cost? Does it also take longer? I 1255 01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:24,280 Speaker 2: mean one of the problems that people have. If someone 1256 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:28,480 Speaker 2: passes away, the bank is formally told they immediately freeze 1257 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,720 Speaker 2: all the accounts. I can understand why they do that, 1258 01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:32,840 Speaker 2: and then it can take a long time to actually 1259 01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:35,760 Speaker 2: get the money out. If you die interstate without a will, 1260 01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:37,080 Speaker 2: does it take longer? 1261 01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:41,760 Speaker 7: It ends too, because all of a sudden somebody has 1262 01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:44,880 Speaker 7: to take control of the process, and they either have 1263 01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:48,720 Speaker 7: to go to the Master's office to get themselves appointed 1264 01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:52,680 Speaker 7: as an executive because somebody must still administer the state, 1265 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:56,120 Speaker 7: whether it's in accordance with the will or whether it's 1266 01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,280 Speaker 7: in accordance with the Interstate Succession Act. 1267 01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:00,440 Speaker 11: Someone must still take control lot of that. 1268 01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,320 Speaker 7: So you will have to go to the Master's office 1269 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,680 Speaker 7: and say that this estate as nigh as to be lodged, 1270 01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:10,280 Speaker 7: and then they will determine who the executor is. If 1271 01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:14,040 Speaker 7: you don't want to nominate yourself, because often family members 1272 01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:17,200 Speaker 7: would want to do that, the Master can insist that 1273 01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:20,760 Speaker 7: you appoint an agent to support you, because they tend 1274 01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:23,920 Speaker 7: to favor people that have a legal background or an 1275 01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,800 Speaker 7: accounting or some sort of experience in this field to 1276 01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:32,639 Speaker 7: assist the family to sort out the administration. So even 1277 01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,200 Speaker 7: just that process to find the right person or to 1278 01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:39,560 Speaker 7: get yourself appointed will take a while. And then obviously 1279 01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:43,599 Speaker 7: that the heirs might not be happy, so there might 1280 01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:49,759 Speaker 7: be some disputes that go on. And also obviously keeping 1281 01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:53,120 Speaker 7: in mind, even though you've got the interstate succession, the 1282 01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:58,599 Speaker 7: creditors and the receiver of revenue generally stands in line first. 1283 01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:02,400 Speaker 2: Sure we're taking your cause tonight O double one double 1284 01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:05,320 Speaker 2: A three seven two two one four four six O 1285 01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:08,000 Speaker 2: five six seven and voice notes on seven two seven 1286 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:11,200 Speaker 2: oh two one seven oh two were speaking to Sharon Hammond, 1287 01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:14,920 Speaker 2: a senior legal advisor at momentum about your will, about 1288 01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 2: why you need to make sure that everything is done properly. 1289 01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:22,160 Speaker 2: I suppose the reason, Sharon, and tell me if I 1290 01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,759 Speaker 2: get this right, the Lord does that. And the problem 1291 01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:28,200 Speaker 2: is is that sometimes people become estranged from a spouse, 1292 01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:31,479 Speaker 2: but they're still legally a spouse. Sometimes even you become 1293 01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:34,120 Speaker 2: a strained from your children and in fact the people 1294 01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,280 Speaker 2: you love most of the people you want to get something, 1295 01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:39,320 Speaker 2: It could be someone completely different, could be your next 1296 01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:41,880 Speaker 2: door neighbor or the person who's helped you through something, 1297 01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,560 Speaker 2: and yet that's not taken into consideration unless you have 1298 01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:46,519 Speaker 2: a proper will. 1299 01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:53,560 Speaker 7: Indeed, if you are married by in terms of the 1300 01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:57,000 Speaker 7: marriage Act, or even in terms of a religious tenate 1301 01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:01,840 Speaker 7: or a customary marriage, or in a permanent, long term relationship, 1302 01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,240 Speaker 7: and the person can prove it, then they will be 1303 01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:05,280 Speaker 7: seen as a spouse. 1304 01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,640 Speaker 11: So even for the Interstate's Succession Act, they can have 1305 01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:09,080 Speaker 11: a claim. 1306 01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:12,479 Speaker 7: So if you do not want to include somebody in 1307 01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:16,040 Speaker 7: your distribution of your assets upon your death, then a 1308 01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:19,320 Speaker 7: will is definitely the place to start. Just keeping in 1309 01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,120 Speaker 7: mind if you are legally married and you do have 1310 01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:25,519 Speaker 7: a spouse and even some of your other forms of marriages. 1311 01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:29,000 Speaker 7: Even if you disown your spouse, there is something like 1312 01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:31,960 Speaker 7: a maintenance of surviving Spouse's Act that you must still 1313 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:36,320 Speaker 7: have to contend with, because inherently the rule is if 1314 01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,040 Speaker 7: you wanted to marry somebody and you didn't go through 1315 01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:42,400 Speaker 7: the trouble of getting divorced or having a formal separation, 1316 01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:46,400 Speaker 7: you might still be held liable to maintain them in 1317 01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:49,320 Speaker 7: some form of fashion. But there's also once again a 1318 01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:50,720 Speaker 7: process that you have to go through. 1319 01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:54,080 Speaker 2: It's not just the given sure, all right, when you 1320 01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:57,439 Speaker 2: pass away, and I mean somehow obviously SARS was going 1321 01:10:57,520 --> 01:10:59,640 Speaker 2: to get a look in on this conversation, there is 1322 01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:02,040 Speaker 2: still taxes, the two certainties in life. 1323 01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:08,080 Speaker 7: Yes, indeed there is obviously when you die, you as 1324 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:11,720 Speaker 7: a natural person taxpayer, your tax yar really ends the 1325 01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,400 Speaker 7: day of death. So you first of all have the 1326 01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,360 Speaker 7: tax liability for the year whilst you were still alive 1327 01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:19,920 Speaker 7: until the day that you die, and then on that 1328 01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:23,080 Speaker 7: same day a new taxpayer is born, which is referred 1329 01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:30,040 Speaker 7: to as your deceased state, and any income and interests 1330 01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:33,000 Speaker 7: or anything that's earned by that estate whilst it's being 1331 01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:36,160 Speaker 7: round up will still be subject to normal income tax 1332 01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:37,320 Speaker 7: or capital gains. 1333 01:11:37,080 --> 01:11:40,280 Speaker 11: Tax in addition to just the normal taxes. 1334 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:43,800 Speaker 7: When you die, for capital gains tax purposes, it is 1335 01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:46,559 Speaker 7: seen as if you have disposed of all your assets. 1336 01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:48,920 Speaker 7: So to make sense of it, you can really see 1337 01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 7: that the living person is disposing of their assets in 1338 01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:56,000 Speaker 7: favor of their estate. So there's a deemed disposal for 1339 01:11:56,080 --> 01:11:59,840 Speaker 7: capital gains tax purposes, so upon death, capital gains tax 1340 01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:04,400 Speaker 7: is automatically triggered. There are certain exemptions or exclusions that apply. 1341 01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:07,960 Speaker 7: Most common is that if all the assets go to 1342 01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,640 Speaker 7: a spouse, you don't pay that capital gains tax or 1343 01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:16,280 Speaker 7: your primary residence exclusion will still continue to apply. So 1344 01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:19,400 Speaker 7: all the normal exclusions that you have during your lifetime 1345 01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:23,280 Speaker 7: will apply. The only other difference is that during your lifetime, 1346 01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,240 Speaker 7: if you dispose of an asset, you get up to 1347 01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:28,360 Speaker 7: fifty thousand as an exclusion for the gains that you've 1348 01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:32,560 Speaker 7: made for capital gains tax. We're on death, it is 1349 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:37,000 Speaker 7: three hundred thousand. I actually think that it's changing the 1350 01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,400 Speaker 7: budget recently, just going to double. 1351 01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:41,640 Speaker 2: Change in the budget. Yes, I think it was our 1352 01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:47,320 Speaker 2: contramember exactly exactly what happened. Okay, So I mean The 1353 01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:50,760 Speaker 2: worst thing would be if you get some sort of 1354 01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:54,280 Speaker 2: tax and then as a result some of the assets 1355 01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:56,439 Speaker 2: have to come out of the estate and be sold 1356 01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:58,800 Speaker 2: or something like that. I mean, you know, it's an 1357 01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:01,040 Speaker 2: awful story, but it must have from time to time. 1358 01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:07,959 Speaker 11: And yeah, some assets have to be sold to pay taxes. Obviously. 1359 01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:13,160 Speaker 7: Also if assets are disposed of, or if assets go 1360 01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:15,320 Speaker 7: to anybody else but the spouse. 1361 01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:18,599 Speaker 11: You have a liability of potential state duty. 1362 01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:22,200 Speaker 7: So each person has up to three and a half 1363 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,120 Speaker 7: million rand that can pass to anybody else. As I say, 1364 01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:28,800 Speaker 7: other than the spouse that will pass is state duty free. 1365 01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:32,240 Speaker 7: But over and above that you will incourase up to 1366 01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:35,639 Speaker 7: twenty five percent for any state value up to thirty million, 1367 01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:39,600 Speaker 7: and then twenty five percent for the assets over and 1368 01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:43,919 Speaker 7: above that. So once again, if the receiver of revenue 1369 01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:48,280 Speaker 7: is due to be paid and there's no liquid funds 1370 01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:50,519 Speaker 7: to do that, then assets are going to have to 1371 01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:54,240 Speaker 7: be sold to make that payment, or alternatively, as can 1372 01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:56,360 Speaker 7: be asked that if they want to pay that. 1373 01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:58,839 Speaker 11: Because they might want to preserve the assets. 1374 01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:02,799 Speaker 7: So if there's family property and a farm may be involved, 1375 01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,240 Speaker 7: they might not want to sell that asset, so then 1376 01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:07,400 Speaker 7: they will have to come up with the cash themselves 1377 01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:10,600 Speaker 7: to settle their estate debt, because tax is really just 1378 01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:12,400 Speaker 7: another estate debt. 1379 01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:18,280 Speaker 2: Sure, okay, so you have children, have minor children, or 1380 01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:21,000 Speaker 2: your guardians of them, you need to make sure they're 1381 01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:22,960 Speaker 2: looked after. How do you do that properly? 1382 01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:27,880 Speaker 7: Well, First of all, having a world is the first step, 1383 01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:30,919 Speaker 7: because in your will you will be able to nominate 1384 01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:34,800 Speaker 7: a guardian for your children. Keeping in mind that if 1385 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:38,439 Speaker 7: you are divorced, the natural guardians so the father or 1386 01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:41,439 Speaker 7: the mother that appears on the birth certificate will be 1387 01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:45,599 Speaker 7: the natural guardian, so you can't really replace them unless 1388 01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:49,680 Speaker 7: you've gone through a legal process to do that. But 1389 01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:53,640 Speaker 7: let's say you are providing you the only parent, or 1390 01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,880 Speaker 7: you and your spouse are the seas together, you can 1391 01:14:56,960 --> 01:14:58,599 Speaker 7: appoint a legal guardian. 1392 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:00,759 Speaker 11: Once again, it's not a given. 1393 01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:03,240 Speaker 7: The person that you have appointed as a guardian in 1394 01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:07,800 Speaker 7: your will still has to accept that nomination. So it's 1395 01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:10,599 Speaker 7: very important to have your will in place, but also 1396 01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:13,680 Speaker 7: to have those discussions with the relevant people before you 1397 01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:17,400 Speaker 7: actually finalize those decisions, to make sure that they are 1398 01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,080 Speaker 7: prepared for what's going to happen, so that you don't 1399 01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:22,720 Speaker 7: nominate the guardian and eventually they do not want to 1400 01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:25,719 Speaker 7: accept because they might not have the financial means themselves 1401 01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:28,080 Speaker 7: to look after your three children for the rest of 1402 01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:32,640 Speaker 7: their lives. And then secondly to once again do the 1403 01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:36,760 Speaker 7: proper state planning, so consulting with the financial advisor to 1404 01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 7: do the necessary calculations to see what the cost will 1405 01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 7: be to bring up those children and educate them, and 1406 01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:51,880 Speaker 7: then making the necessary provisions. And very often families use 1407 01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:55,240 Speaker 7: testamentary trusts that are once again set up in your 1408 01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:59,000 Speaker 7: will to look after, administer, and control the money for 1409 01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:03,080 Speaker 7: the benefit of the children until they reach other majority, 1410 01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:05,559 Speaker 7: which is eighteen, or you can even say that it's 1411 01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:09,599 Speaker 7: until they're twenty one or twenty five, depending on each 1412 01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:10,679 Speaker 7: person's preference. 1413 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:15,320 Speaker 2: Were speaking to Sharon Hammond, the senior legal advisor at 1414 01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:19,000 Speaker 2: Momentum about a will about estate planning.

But now the issue is 1439 01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:38,200 Speaker 17: we are stuck because the helthis is taking long and 1440 01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:41,160 Speaker 17: part of the money is in my father's state were 1441 01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:45,519 Speaker 17: actually child by the lawyer who was dealing with the 1442 01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:46,360 Speaker 17: matter at that time. 1443 01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:51,479 Speaker 18: So what would be the next past step to take, Sharon, 1444 01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:53,880 Speaker 18: I mean it's a complex case, and there'll be many 1445 01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:55,720 Speaker 18: facts to it, but it's very hard to know what 1446 01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:57,600 Speaker 18: to do in a situation like that when basically a 1447 01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:01,400 Speaker 18: lawyer a presumer has been struggle for a week. Yes, 1448 01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:04,839 Speaker 18: never told us no, Sure, yeah. 1449 01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:07,479 Speaker 2: Sharon, Sharon. I mean, as I say, it's a difficult one, 1450 01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:10,080 Speaker 2: but I would imagine that this is a complex case. 1451 01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:19,000 Speaker 7: Yes, it's unfortunate, Patience, I'm sorry to hear about this. Unfortunately, 1452 01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:22,400 Speaker 7: quite often the choice of executor does make a difference, 1453 01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:26,240 Speaker 7: and you can only make that decision in your will initially, 1454 01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:31,320 Speaker 7: either appointing somebody that you trust and they can perhaps 1455 01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:37,839 Speaker 7: outsource to an executive eventually, or if you've appointed somebody 1456 01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:41,720 Speaker 7: like in this case, you're unfortunately, the process is going 1457 01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:43,679 Speaker 7: to have to take its course. So I always trying 1458 01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:47,000 Speaker 7: to say, we have to make decisions while we still 1459 01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:51,600 Speaker 7: can to appoint reputable I prefer Obviously, I work for 1460 01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:57,439 Speaker 7: a company that's got a state's executive department and we 1461 01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:02,240 Speaker 7: administer states. But I'm not saying necessarily momentum per se, 1462 01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:07,960 Speaker 7: but bigger companies tend to have longevity because one person's 1463 01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:15,280 Speaker 7: dishonesty or one person's resignation or even death will not 1464 01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:19,320 Speaker 7: impact anybody's the states, because the reality is there's somebody 1465 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:21,880 Speaker 7: that will step in the next day, where if you 1466 01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,640 Speaker 7: are with an attorney and they are struck with the 1467 01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:28,240 Speaker 7: role like in your case, or in some instances perhaps 1468 01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:32,080 Speaker 7: even dies themselves, then everything is frozen in time and 1469 01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:36,560 Speaker 7: a new executor must be appointed. The fact that it 1470 01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:40,240 Speaker 7: hasn't been resolved in this time frame, to me, also 1471 01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:44,479 Speaker 7: says that there's possibly some factors involved that will need 1472 01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:48,880 Speaker 7: a little bit more scrutiny. So I would say, try 1473 01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:51,640 Speaker 7: to get into contact with one of the larger executive 1474 01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,120 Speaker 7: companies to see if they can perhaps assist you with 1475 01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:57,640 Speaker 7: sorting this out. You can even you can contact me 1476 01:19:57,760 --> 01:19:59,200 Speaker 7: if you want to, and we can see if we 1477 01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:00,879 Speaker 7: can assist you patients. 1478 01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:02,840 Speaker 2: I'm sorry to hear that, and good luck to you 1479 01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:05,800 Speaker 2: and your family in this Alan and Joe burg High. 1480 01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:09,200 Speaker 13: Yes, good evening, sir, go for it. 1481 01:20:09,320 --> 01:20:10,759 Speaker 2: You have a person for Sharon yet. 1482 01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:14,800 Speaker 19: Yes, I have so a bit of a complicated one 1483 01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:21,360 Speaker 19: as well. My wife's parents have both deceased, and her 1484 01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:27,559 Speaker 19: father died in an insolvent estate, two separate people doing 1485 01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:31,679 Speaker 19: their estates eventually well, one of the banks was supposed 1486 01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:36,280 Speaker 19: to be the executor, and they eventually pulled the plug 1487 01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:38,719 Speaker 19: and said they not they don't want to be involved 1488 01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:42,599 Speaker 19: anymore because obviously it's an insolvent estate. So my wife 1489 01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:45,960 Speaker 19: has got involved and she's now become the executor. The 1490 01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:51,519 Speaker 19: problem now is that both parents have died. The house 1491 01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:56,840 Speaker 19: that her father owned, her brother stayed in, but the 1492 01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:01,200 Speaker 19: house can't be transferred because the mother not around anymore, 1493 01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:03,880 Speaker 19: and there's nobody that can pay the debts because the 1494 01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:08,559 Speaker 19: brother wracked up all kinds of debts and as a result, 1495 01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:11,760 Speaker 19: the house has now been taken over by vagrants. How 1496 01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:15,320 Speaker 19: do we actually solve this problem, because you know, it's 1497 01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:19,479 Speaker 19: only the house before they can wind up her father's estate, 1498 01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:22,000 Speaker 19: and they can't wind up the mother of the state 1499 01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:24,560 Speaker 19: until the fathers is round up, because this house is 1500 01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:25,720 Speaker 19: supposed to go to the mother. 1501 01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:28,840 Speaker 2: Sure, Alan, thank you, I mean Sharon. This kind of 1502 01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:30,240 Speaker 2: thing does happen from time to time. 1503 01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:37,559 Speaker 7: Yeah, and unfortunately it happens quite often where things, yeah 1504 01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:41,960 Speaker 7: like this happened. I've had examples where families do not 1505 01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:44,479 Speaker 7: report this, and they do not report the states, and 1506 01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:49,120 Speaker 7: people live in houses and eventually, one or two generations later, 1507 01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:50,160 Speaker 7: they want to. 1508 01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,400 Speaker 11: Sell the house and then realize it's still. 1509 01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:55,160 Speaker 7: Really in the name of somebody that's been de ceased 1510 01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:57,400 Speaker 7: for quite a number of years or even decades. 1511 01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:01,719 Speaker 11: So it is problematic in this case. 1512 01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:06,240 Speaker 7: Once again, administration of an estate is a legislative process. 1513 01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:08,960 Speaker 11: There's a whole process that has to go through. 1514 01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:12,160 Speaker 7: So yes, the one estate will have to be finalized 1515 01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:15,040 Speaker 7: before the next one can go through the process. And 1516 01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:18,360 Speaker 7: they should really have solved the property as part of 1517 01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:22,360 Speaker 7: the liquidation process. If the estate was insolvent. I would 1518 01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,679 Speaker 7: have imagined that the estate they should have sold the property, 1519 01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:28,360 Speaker 7: settle the debts, and whatever was left should have gone 1520 01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:32,680 Speaker 7: to the Matthers estate. So unfortunately, I wish I had 1521 01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:34,960 Speaker 7: a crystal ball to give you all the answers of 1522 01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:37,479 Speaker 7: how to solve for this right now. But I think 1523 01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:40,560 Speaker 7: once again there's probably different factors involved. 1524 01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:42,000 Speaker 11: Sure that we will have to consider. 1525 01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:44,920 Speaker 2: Sharon, thank you so much, really appreciated the senior legal 1526 01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:48,080 Speaker 2: advisor at momentum with you on personal finance. 1527 01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:52,560 Speaker 14: This evening, the Money Show Stephen Clutchers is brought to 1528 01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:56,680 Speaker 14: you by Absurd Islamic Business Bank celebrating twenty years of 1529 01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,439 Speaker 14: banking rooted in values apps as. 1530 01:22:59,280 --> 01:22:59,879 Speaker 3: A register. 1531 01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:05,000 Speaker 2: Well US market's still down at tonight, the Dow Jones 1532 01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:08,120 Speaker 2: down point one one, the Nasdek down point ninety four BC, 1533 01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:12,400 Speaker 2: and P five hundred down point four.
