I'm Stephen Curtis. 9 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 3: Is the day sort of sandwiched between a weekend and 10 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 3: a public holiday, and in that way a strange kind 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 3: of day. All of that said, there's still quite a 12 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 3: few things going on, and I expected to sort of 13 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 3: be like this if you consider what's happening in other 14 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 3: parts of the world at the moment. If you look 15 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,319 Speaker 3: at some of the big changes we're seeing in our 16 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 3: society around payment, for example, will you expect these things 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 3: to be happening? Look at the fight over starlink and 18 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 3: we'll talk about that in a minute, but you would 19 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 3: expect there to be some kind of dispute.

I noticed the big fight of a starlink, 26 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: and I do think it's probably going to get a 27 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 3: bit more intense though developments today from the presidency. You'll 28 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 3: hear that in a moment. Duncan McLeod's the founder and 29 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 3: editor at tech Central.

I don't 32 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 3: I couldn't tell you what makes good wine. I'm presuming 33 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 3: it depends on the type of wine that you're producing, 34 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 3: and you probably need a sort of you know, sort 35 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 3: of proper sort of sharp sun to produce a sharp 36 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 3: taste or something. I have no idea. I'm not really 37 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: a wine fundy. I think you know that about me, 38 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 3: although I have been offered education in this area by many, 39 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 3: many well meaning people. But they seem to be very positive. 40 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 3: We'll speak to ONUNDI lessa clawbor around that a consumer 41 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 3: confidence again, more numbers coming through.

And I think those are important things, 49 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 3: and then we'll help you get into the sort of 50 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 3: festive chair a little bit from seven point thirty to 51 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 3: speak to Peter Tempelhoff.

Good to hear 56 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 3: from here, of course. On a double one double A 57 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 3: three oh seven or two and O two one four, four, six, 58 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: five six seven, The. 59 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 4: Money Show with Stephen krudis live on ninety two point 60 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 4: seven and one six FM. 61 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 5: Streaming on the Prime Media Plus. 62 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: Naven DStv channel eight five six. 63 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 3: A lot more talk about ATMs at the moment and plans, 64 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: it seems, by the Reserve Bank, and what they're suggesting 65 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 3: is that ATMs will no longer be sort of competing. 66 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 3: You would no longer have to pay more to use 67 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 3: one or not always able to use your you know, 68 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 3: the full okay of services at another if it wasn't 69 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 3: from your bank. The idea is, I understand, it would 70 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 3: be that instead of having a sort of FNB capy 71 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 3: tech abs sort of thing, you would have a different 72 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 3: arrangement where essentially one company would manage all of the 73 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 3: ATMs and you would be charged the same no matter 74 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: which one you went to. It does make sense. I 75 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 3: know that sometimes you go into a petrol station it's 76 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: late at night, and for the convenience you sort of 77 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 3: end up paying a little bit more sometimes to use 78 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 3: some of those ATMs, not all of them, And there 79 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: are various services just to streamline it and to sort 80 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: of remove the costs. I think that surely is a 81 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 3: good thing. I'm going to be fascinated by how it 82 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 3: all pans out, though, but it did just make me 83 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: think about how the way in which we pay for 84 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 3: things has changed soically. I mean, I still find it 85 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 3: quite strange to withdraw cash without actually having a card. 86 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 3: You know, you started on the app and you sort 87 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: of withdraw it in that way. And then I realized today, 88 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 3: I actually don't think I have a debit card. I 89 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: have a credit card that I use that really through 90 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 3: my phone and I hardly ever see it. But it 91 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 3: really does show you how things have changed. But here's 92 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 3: a question for you. If you were no longer using 93 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 3: an ATM to draw cash, what could ATMs be used for? 94 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 3: They remind me a little bit of heartings eat all 95 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 3: grantury gantries. What would you use them for? If they're 96 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 3: not just for that? And yes, I imagine a slightly 97 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 3: more secure way of managing your money, so not on 98 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 3: your phone, but once you're you know, running a bank 99 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: on your phone, does it really matter? And I stand 100 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 3: the bank had problems with their app today. You might 101 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 3: like to tell us your stories about it, but that 102 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 3: does seem to be fixed now. And it was just 103 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 3: the app Internet Banking that self worked. I understand. I 104 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 3: think if and Be had a problem on Black Friday, 105 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 3: But just your recommendations how you would change payment systems 106 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 3: seven two seven oh two one seven o two. 107 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: The Money Show on seven two Monday till Friday six 108 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: to APM or several developments today over what I think 109 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: is going to be a big political and I suppose 110 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: legal fight over black economic impowerment in Elon Musk. 111 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: Through the day, people aligned with the A and C, 112 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 3: including Parliament's Communications Committee Chech called Silla san Gorney Dico 113 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: slamming the Communications Minister Soli Malatti's from the DA, he 114 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 3: published regulations that would allow Ikassa to consider equity equivalence 115 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 3: programs or in the licensing communications services. Essentially, what that 116 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 3: means is Stalin wouldn't have to give up any equity 117 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 3: to operate here. She joined the Deputy Communications mister mondolyging Goobela, 118 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: also from the A and C, who said the regulations 119 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,679 Speaker 3: must be withdrawn. Then today the presidential spokespison Vince mcgwenea 120 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 3: spoke about the issue that this clip is thanks from 121 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 3: news is thanks to News from Africa channel four zero five. 122 00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 6: The application for a license coming out of that subset 123 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 6: of the Communications and a city sector is not only 124 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 6: from standing, so we should just avoid the trep of 125 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 6: getting fixated over standing. 126 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 5: There are four or. 127 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 6: Five other companies that have expressed interest in providing these services. 128 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 6: Here in South Africa. 129 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 3: It's not understanding. 130 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,679 Speaker 6: What the Minister is doing is within the law, which 131 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 6: we must emphasize within the law is to look at 132 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 6: what can be done to accelerate those processes. Right as 133 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 6: you know, the law is quite clear with respect to 134 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 6: the local ownership element for those seeking to be licensed 135 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 6: as communications and natural services providers and so that's what 136 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 6: the Minister is doing. So the President has been aware 137 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 6: of that process. However, what the President will not endorse 138 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 6: and cannot endorse is the subversion of the law. And 139 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 6: in his engagements with various role players in this sector, 140 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 6: the President has been quite clear that whatever is done 141 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 6: must be done within the frame framework of of our laws. 142 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 6: And so if it turns out that a CASA cannot 143 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 6: do anything beyond what is written in law, then the 144 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 6: process will be to look at an amendment of the 145 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 6: legislation that is well guided in our statue, in our 146 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 6: statute in terms of how it needs to proceed. 147 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 3: Vincent mcgvanne are speaking this morning. Thanks to News from 148 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 3: Africa for that clip. Duncan McLeod is the editor at 149 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 3: Tech Central. Duncan, good evening. I mean, I think this 150 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 3: is going to be a big fight. How do you say, 151 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 3: what's really going on? 152 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, I have, Stephen, There's so many angles to this, 153 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 7: it's got to nowhere to start. I mean, first of all, 154 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 7: clearly the portfolio chair, Qusilla Decon's deputy Communications Minister, has collaborated, 155 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 7: that's the right word, colluded to gang up on the 156 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 7: solid Malazzi over this issue. 157 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 5: I think I think maybe I'll start. 158 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 7: By saying that previous ANC Communications ministers, probably including Mondoli 159 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 7: gun Guberle himself, have issued numerous policy directives to KASSA 160 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 7: over the years. They've done this without even issuing these 161 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 7: policy directors in draft form for Parliament and other stakeholders 162 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 7: to consider before issuing them in final in final form. 163 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 7: In this particular case, Soli Malazzi published the policy directive 164 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 7: in draft form all the way back in May. So 165 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 7: I've taken seven months. It's been in Parliament, has been 166 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 7: debated for the past seven months before he finalized an 167 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 7: issue to to IKSSA last Friday. So I think the 168 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 7: A and C is being a bit richer in staying 169 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 7: in claiming that he's breaking the law et cetera, et cetera, 170 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 7: when in fact this is a mechanism that is allowed 171 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 7: under the law and has been used extensively by ANCI 172 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 7: communications ministers in the past. So he's for as far 173 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 7: as I know the legal experts I've spoken to in 174 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 7: the sector of the last twenty four hours, there is 175 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 7: nothing illegal unlawful about what he has done in issuing 176 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 7: this policy directive. And now we have the President's spokesman, 177 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 7: Vincent Magwena clarifying and I thought, in a very measured 178 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 7: sort of statements this morning and contradicting the statement that 179 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 7: the ANC put out saying that this was actually unlawful 180 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 7: by the minister and that he was trying to circumvent 181 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 7: parliamentary processes. What the politics are behind this, I don't know. 182 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 7: I understand that the deputy Communications Minister Monolague and Gouberle, 183 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 7: who was previously the minister, has his nose out of 184 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 7: joint about having been demoted by Rama Pauso in when 185 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 7: the new cabinet was appointed last year. And yeah, I 186 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 7: don't know what the exact politics are behind us inside 187 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 7: the ANC, and I don't know which particular faction of 188 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 7: the ANC mon League ugubelairs associated with or whether this 189 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 7: is just some clear case of you know, a former 190 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 7: minister as as nose that have jointed by being demoted. 191 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 7: But yeah, there's a lot of politics here. It is 192 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 7: going to be a huge fight over this, especially with 193 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 7: elements in the ANC and the left wing parties like 194 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 7: the e f F and the m K saying that 195 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 7: they're going to fight this in the streets and fight 196 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 7: it in the courts, et cetera, et cetera. So this 197 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 7: is going to be a huge political bunfight and honestly 198 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 7: South Africa doesn't need it. 199 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 3: A couple of sort of technical questions, if I may, 200 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 3: I was interested in the timing. So Soli Malazzi does 201 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 3: it just before already the start of the festive season, 202 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 3: probably making sure that this is the fight of the 203 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 3: festive season. Yes, I mean, I don't know if that 204 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 3: was deliberate. Let me put my question like this, Was 205 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 3: there any reason why he could suddenly do it now? 206 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 3: Was there another process that ended that you might be 207 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 3: aware of. Was there some reason that now was the 208 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,599 Speaker 3: right time technically for him to announce it. 209 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 7: My suspicion is that he announced it on the last, 210 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 7: effectively the last Friday of the year. For many people 211 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 7: who you know the work here for many people A 212 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 7: lot of people have gone on holiday, and I think 213 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 7: he may have just been hoping that this wouldn't have 214 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 7: blown up into a huge political fight, which is of 215 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 7: course what it had now happened. I think he may 216 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 7: have just hoping to quietly bury it into the Christmas, 217 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 7: into the festive season and revisited next year and hoped 218 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 7: that And I'm sure he was aware that there was 219 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 7: going to be pushed back, So I'm sure that played 220 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 7: into the fact that the timing of it. Whether there 221 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 7: was more to the timing behind it, I'm not sure, 222 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 7: but I would imagine that that was the main thinking 223 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 7: behind publishing it on the last Friday of the year. 224 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 3: One of the things that gives us such political heat 225 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 3: is the figure of Elon Musk, right. I mean, let's 226 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 3: speak here when Vincent mcgwenea says there are other people 227 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 3: who might want to do the same thing, Are there others? 228 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 3: I mean? And I mean this would obviously affect them. 229 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 5: Too, Yes, it would. So. 230 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 7: Amazon Leo, which was previously called Project Caper, it is 231 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 7: a direct competitor to Starlink. They're a bit behind Styling 232 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 7: in terms of quite actually quite a bit behind Starling 233 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 7: in terms of launching satellites and starying to offer services, 234 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 7: but they're coming. Full Musk Jeff Bezos is very much 235 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 7: interested in competing head on with SpaceX and styling in 236 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 7: this market. 237 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 5: We know that. 238 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 7: Amazon LEO representatives are active on the ground in South 239 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 7: Africa actively talking to internet service providers into telecommunications operators 240 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 7: here and then started signing partnership agreements with those companies, 241 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 7: so there's no doubt that it's coming. That the company 242 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 7: hasn't said anything about or hasn't voiced its views on 243 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 7: the thirty percent requirements, so we don't know whether or 244 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 7: not they're willing to sell thirty percent equity to comply 245 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 7: with the yourcrscent process, and maybe they'll do that just 246 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 7: because Musk has the opposite view. They compete directly and 247 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 7: very heavily. Musk and Bezos do not particularly like each other. 248 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 7: So yes, there are other players who are the satellite 249 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 7: internet providers coming. We know the Chinese also launching a 250 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 7: satellite nutrics such a low if orbit satellite netrics that 251 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 7: are also going to compete with Starlink and Amazon LEA 252 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 7: and others. So yes, markets getting very competitive and new 253 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 7: players are coming into the market and into McGraney is quite. 254 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 5: Right that they'll be seeking licenses. 255 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 3: Duncan mcleown, thank you, Ready to appreciate the time, editor 256 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 3: at tech Central DOTZA dot Today twenty two after. 257 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 2: Six Stephen is on x at at Stephen. 258 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 3: Well some news from our wine industry. It looks like 259 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 3: they've had good conditions over the period. They're expecting a 260 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 3: strong harvest this year. One DNA sex Loboars, Chief Economists 261 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 3: at the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa. One day, 262 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 3: good evening. I have no idea what makes good wine 263 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 3: in terms of weather, but clearly our producers are feeling 264 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 3: very positive. 265 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 8: Stephen, farmers keep bringing your good news on radio. 266 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 5: Yes, and I will tell you this. 267 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 8: It's not only a largevolume of wine, because taste and 268 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 8: quality stiven when it comes to wine matters. And this 269 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 8: time around, because we had these intense heat and nice 270 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 8: rains that are appropriate time. It turns out that their 271 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 8: much oration of the grapes have actually been excellent and 272 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 8: the volume of cause has been good. And now as 273 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 8: the folks aren't looking into processing and getting into season, 274 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 8: it appears that we will actually have decent volumes, higher 275 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 8: than last year. And of course the quality will be 276 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 8: as excellent. The only thing, now, Stiven, will be who 277 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 8: do we sell all of these quality too in the 278 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 8: world market. 279 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 3: I'm going to come to that because that's a big question. 280 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 3: I do want to just check though. Do different types 281 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 3: of wine grapes want different types of conditions? In other words, 282 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 3: do green grapes are presume white wine and read grapes 283 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,479 Speaker 3: I presume red wine that I know virtually nothing about wine, 284 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 3: Do they prefer different conditions? 285 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 8: They prefer generally similar conditions as and of course the 286 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 8: soil and the region at which it's planted is one 287 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 8: of the key determinant as to how much yield one gets. 288 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 8: As you can see that we have a concentration of 289 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 8: our wine grapes in the Western Cape origin, and of 290 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 8: course a little bit in the Northern Cape. 291 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 5: And by the. 292 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 8: Way, I was just now in this area of Kacamas 293 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 8: here in the Northern Cape, and it's increasingly adding to 294 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 8: that branded that they've long been producing in that area. 295 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 8: Also some good wine that is coming up in that area. 296 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 8: So really generally that but still in the weather conditions 297 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 8: are in all of the varieties that we plant is 298 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 8: largely the same. 299 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 3: Okay, So now who were going to sell it to 300 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 3: the US, presumably not so. 301 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 5: Much, Steven. 302 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 8: There are people in Europe that must pay for this 303 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 8: high quality wine we produce, as well as the UK, 304 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 8: and of course we continue to look in other markets 305 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 8: in Asia, particularly China. But China is problematic still in 306 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 8: a sense that our wine still face a duty of 307 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 8: between fourteen and twenty percent tariff, depending if it's bulk 308 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 8: or bottle does its bulk it can face twenty percent 309 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 8: tariffs and fourteen percent if it's bottled. While our friends 310 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 8: down there in Australia and elsewhere are entering that market 311 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 8: duty free, so in our conversations with them about lowering duties, 312 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 8: wine is always on top of mind. The US is 313 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 8: important because about four percent or so of our wine, 314 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 8: similar to the overall share percentage, is the one that 315 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 8: typically goes to that US market. But of course it's 316 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 8: presenting pressures on certain family businesses that have greater exposure. 317 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 8: But industry wise, if we are able to divert a 318 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 8: bit of more volume to the EU and the UK 319 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 8: and other markets, we will be able to continue to 320 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 8: drive well. 321 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 3: I mean, I know so many people who come to 322 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 3: South African say, wow, your wine is great, is great, 323 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 3: and it's cheap. And I've always thought that we would 324 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 3: be able to compete really strongly on price in markets 325 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 3: like the EU or the UK that you know, price 326 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 3: would be because the quality is me there. That price 327 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 3: would really be the great sort of unique selling point 328 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 3: for US. 329 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 8: I mean, you know what, the reality is that their 330 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 8: consumer in the world market are the ones that did 331 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 8: sort of put a premium on what region and not 332 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 8: to or what region, and I think they not always 333 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 8: be thinking about the quality on this The fact that 334 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 8: we are in the southern tip of Africa does have 335 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 8: its own drag on us if one is talking now 336 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,959 Speaker 8: looking globally, because if you are producing from France and 337 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 8: you are producing from Argentina Australia, there's always this assumption 338 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 8: that somehow your wine is good. But that's not always 339 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 8: the case. I mean, there's been various studies and some 340 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 8: of their anecdotal experience, like the one that you are 341 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 8: explaining now, where it turns out that South Africa actually 342 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 8: punches above the weight, and I think that's the message 343 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 8: that the global consumer needs to get, which is why 344 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 8: I think that in all of these marketing airports that 345 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 8: many people at South Africa wines, vin Pro and various 346 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 8: private brands they go and market. And I think that 347 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 8: even on this conversation Steven, that we always talk about 348 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,360 Speaker 8: of export diversification, I think that the marketing element by 349 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 8: bread essay has to be huge because wine is not 350 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 8: just a commodity. We have to say we are now 351 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 8: presenting processed, high quality products. And I think that the 352 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 8: marketing aspect is very important. 353 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 3: Wendila, thank you so much. On dli Sex Nobos chief 354 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 3: Economists at the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa. The 355 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 3: Money Show, christ Shinlemberg e'sportfolio manager the Old Mutual Investment Group, 356 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 3: Chris Stuff. Good evening and not a lot going on 357 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 3: on the JC, very few announcements. Sends very quiet, as 358 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 3: you would expect, lots of optimism around next year. We'll 359 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 3: talk and see the confidence numbers soon, which are also 360 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 3: very confident. We had John Bickard on The Money Show 361 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 3: on Friday. He was very confident about next year. How 362 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 3: optimistic are you? 363 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 9: Yeah, good evening Stephen and all the listeners, thanks for 364 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 9: having me. Yeah, it's certainly seems to be turning, you know, 365 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 9: and I think it's sitting slowly in the background in 366 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 9: terms of improving versus what you become accustomed to over 367 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 9: the last ten of ten years, and that bodes well. 368 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 9: We can see you when you look at bond prices 369 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 9: and the yields on that and you look at the currency, 370 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 9: there's certainly a lot more confident coming and if it 371 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 9: follows previous cycles then unfortunately locals are last to notice. 372 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 9: But headwinds are certainly dissipating and some even turning into tailwinds. 373 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 3: A big part of it for us obviously this year 374 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 3: has been the gold price. Do you expect it to 375 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 3: say where it is? I mean, I mean, there's so 376 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 3: many different factors driving it. I don't see many of 377 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 3: the factors are going away. I mean some of them. 378 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 3: Of course we're in the United States. 379 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 9: Yeah, So the interesting thing is an external factor like 380 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 9: a gold price, could be the kind of the match 381 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 9: that lights the fire. There's many other factors in s A. 382 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 9: I mean, if we look at the factual data of 383 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 9: the kind of emotions and narratives, transmit load sheading, governance, 384 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 9: everything seems to be picking up in the right way, 385 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 9: in the right direction, gray listing being removed, you know, 386 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 9: et cetera. Coming into the gold price, which is obviously 387 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 9: good and combined a PGM, so kind of your precious 388 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 9: metal prices. They've been built up a massive tail wind 389 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 9: in terms of taxes and exports and and and you 390 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 9: know kind of impact on. 391 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 5: The first cause the way the gold price goes. 392 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know. We we quite bullish gold as 393 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 9: a metal. You know, one can see that it's it's 394 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 9: being but central banks globally are buying these. The retail 395 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 9: market is starting to get behind it. If we look 396 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 9: at the flows and the ETFs and and yeah, they 397 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 9: you know, they they that money is looking for our home. Obviously, 398 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 9: when we look at minors and equities, one has to 399 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 9: overlay that with things like valuation and what's priced in. 400 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 9: But if we're talking pure metal in dollar terms, yeah, 401 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 9: I think you know, five thousand is on the card. Uh, 402 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 9: maybe even more. The tricky question is does it go 403 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 9: down to three and a half first and then the 404 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 9: five an hour or you know, can it continue this 405 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 9: as its typically don't go up in a straight line. 406 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 9: So it's had a hell of a run, and yeah, 407 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 9: we must we must enjoy that, you know, over the 408 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 9: short term, I think one must be careful to assume 409 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 9: that this is uh, you know one way, bet. 410 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 3: Sure, very quickly. I mean the rans stronger get to 411 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 3: the dollar again. Today, lots of talk about Trump's pick 412 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 3: to be who you know and sort of who it 413 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 3: might be to chair the US Federal Reserve. I presume 414 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 3: one is leading to the other. The dollar a bit 415 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 3: weaker because of that. 416 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, market kind of looks through it. 417 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 5: And and and I. 418 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 9: Think the market's pricing in who comes in will probably 419 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 9: you know, Trump will have their year, so you could 420 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 9: see them lowering rates or pushing four rates to be lower, 421 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 9: and and that will put pressure on the dollar, you know, 422 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 9: the dollars in a or not the dollar. The US 423 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 9: is economically in a in a tricky position with their 424 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 9: debt balance and could probably do with a weeker dollar. 425 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 9: That's good for us, you know, lower petrol prices, you know, 426 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 9: lower cost on imports. So yeah, I think this this, 427 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 9: this might only be the start. You know, people, if 428 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 9: you look at a long term trial, people forget about 429 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 9: thirteen round to the dollars feels like a distant memory. 430 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 9: Thirteen fourteen wasn't that long ago. 431 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, good stuff, thank you, good stuff. Schillenberg portfolio manager, 432 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 3: the old mutual investment group just after six. 433 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: What's happen to Stephen on seven two seven oh two one seven. 434 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 3: Two, Well, talking about ATMs move away from cash, but 435 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 3: then also the idea from the Reserve Bank a good one. 436 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 3: I think that would basically mean banks don't have their 437 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 3: own ATMs. There will be a sort of company owned 438 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 3: by all the banks through some way of doing it, 439 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 3: and you'll pay the same to draw cash at every atm. 440 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 3: Some responses to that tonight A steven. 441 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 10: I think we forget that ATMs are used for sussa 442 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 10: branch to throw money frown the air. So a vast 443 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 10: majority of the country doesn't have access to electronic services 444 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 10: and apps and things like that, so it's a minority 445 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 10: that that uses the technology. The majority require ATMs that 446 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 10: require cash. So as much as we talk about being 447 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 10: casual at society and all that. 448 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 11: You're excluding a vast majority of the country. And if 449 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 11: you look at the story of how keptics started in 450 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 11: the first place, it's from overlooking the majority and someone 451 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 11: saying let's take advantage of that opportunity. So let's not 452 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 11: forget that the majority of the country is not cashless, 453 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 11: so stop trying to push us in that diet. 454 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 3: And service the rest of the country accordingly, No, sure, 455 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 3: I hear you. I mean, I think what people are 456 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 3: expecting is that at some point, at some point not 457 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 3: too long away, we'll end up with sort of thirty 458 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 3: to forty percent, you know, of people using cash, so 459 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 3: the number will go down. You know, I know that 460 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 3: there are many millions of people in South Africa who 461 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 3: don't have much access to data and to phones, but 462 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 3: there are about twice as many phones as there are 463 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 3: people in South Africa. So I don't think we should 464 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 3: overplay that either, try and get some hard numbers on 465 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 3: that actually might be a useful talking point, something to 466 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 3: just consider other voice notes not we've been talking about starlink. 467 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 3: Hey guys, you're seven or two of them. 468 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 12: Just so I know, though, who ever thought where would 469 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 12: be the last place Elon Mosk or whoever now is 470 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 12: in the pool of the new company, is that you know, 471 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 12: we're here in the ikasas dialing chads and all though 472 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 12: of all of them, do any one of them actually 473 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 12: even spend any time in South Africa because it's great 474 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 12: Elon Musk at all, But to give that it was 475 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 12: maybe triggered by that and the visit of the President 476 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 12: to the White House, though, whoever considered that even Elon 477 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 12: Musk is a beneficiary of the South African government since 478 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 12: he did, after all, go to a public school Pretoria 479 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 12: boys I is a government school. 480 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,479 Speaker 5: So yeah, just a thought there from k verb in Madrid. 481 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 3: Thanks you No interesting.

I think on balance does make sense to me. 484 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 3: I think the arguments against it for something as international 485 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 3: as Stalink and the other services, I think it's quite 486 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 3: tough to make.

Nisha A good evening, good to chat again. 497 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 3: What's changed to make us feel a little bit more confident, 498 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 3: is it something government has done. 499 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 13: Good evening, Stephen, and a good evening to all of 500 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 13: your listeners tonight. You know, I think there were a 501 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 13: couple of factors that came through that really boosted the 502 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 13: consumer sentiment in this past quarters reading and according to 503 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 13: FMB and the Bureau of Economic Research, who essentially conduct 504 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 13: the survey, they did point out a number of economic 505 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 13: factors that in particular helped consumers just to feel a 506 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 13: tad more optimistic than previously. So, first of all, we 507 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 13: had an interest rate cut that came through November, and 508 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 13: that of course does offer a relief to those that 509 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 13: are indebted as was prime linked debt on mortgages or vehicles. 510 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 13: There was also the fact that we had in appreciation 511 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 13: in the currency, and together with stable international oil prices, 512 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 13: we actually saw that petrol prices came in lower between 513 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 13: August and November. We also saw a moderation in food inflation, 514 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 13: and of course we know that food is quite a 515 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 13: big chunk of the bulk of South African's inflation basket. 516 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 13: There were a few job gains that also came through 517 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 13: in the third quarter. I think you know that the 518 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 13: jobs market is still quite soft, but those games helped 519 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 13: in the third quarter. And then of course we had 520 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 13: the credit rating upgrade from S and P Global and 521 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 13: the fact that the country was removed from the Financial 522 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 13: Action Transkforce gray list, and I think in conjunction, all 523 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 13: of these aided a slightly better reading on that consumer 524 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 13: confidence metric, although it did still stay negative territory. 525 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 3: I mean, everyone talks about the interest rate, Captain, I 526 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 3: get that, but it's still not a huge amount of 527 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 3: money for most people, surely. I mean, yes, it's a 528 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 3: trend in the right direction, but do you think people 529 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 3: actually feeling they have more money in their pockets? I mean, 530 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 3: the figures I suppose show that they do in some way. 531 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 13: I think we have to look at it on a 532 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 13: cumulative basis, and so if we look at twenty twenty 533 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 13: five as a whole, you know that was the force 534 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 13: interest rate cut that came through from the South African 535 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 13: Reserve Bank. Typically there is a twelve to eighteen month 536 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 13: transmission mechanism with interst rate policy into the real economy, 537 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 13: and so often you don't find that the full positive 538 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 13: impact comes through straight away. And so we can potentially 539 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 13: full acup some of those benefits further down the line, 540 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 13: and so you know, with money that's not now spent 541 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 13: on interest on your mortgage or on your vehicle load, 542 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 13: that does leave a bit more cash in consumers pockets 543 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 13: at the end of the day. I think what was 544 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 13: a bigger factor for the consumer this year, however, was 545 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 13: the fact that we had real wage games, and that 546 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 13: was mostly because inflation was reasonably well behaved this year, 547 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 13: and so that opened up quite a nice gap between 548 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 13: nominal wages and effectively or real wage game that then 549 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 13: picked up as inflation fell. And we know that in 550 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 13: South Africa most consumers don't typically save, and so any 551 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 13: of those real games that come through on the real 552 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 13: wage front ends up coming through in household consumption. And 553 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 13: I think that's, you know, been a signal that the 554 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 13: consumer's done. 555 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 14: A bit better. 556 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 13: And we don't have obviously the fourth quarter numbers for 557 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 13: gross domestic product of GDP just yet, but I think 558 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 13: we could be looking at consumption spending close to two 559 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 13: point seven percent in terms of growth this year, which 560 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 13: is quite strong given that the overall economy is probably 561 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 13: around one point two percent toward growth. 562 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 3: I mean, what that should mean is that the first 563 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 3: of shopping season would be bigger, and I realized, you know, 564 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 3: it doesn't start on the sixteenth anymore. It starts sort 565 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 3: of Black Friday ish beginning of November even now. But 566 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 3: what do you expect that actually the might be an 567 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 3: uptick in the amount of money spent over the next 568 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 3: couple of weeks. 569 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 13: You know, I think all signs are indicating, especially since 570 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 13: we had quite robust Black Friday sales, but that momentum 571 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 13: could potentially continue into Christmas sales, system season sales into 572 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 13: the end of the year. And so you know, the 573 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 13: components that we saw getting quite a boost over the 574 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 13: Black Friday sales for things like electronics, health and beauty purchases, 575 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 13: home furnishings, and so you know, if we look typically 576 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 13: in the past couple of quarters, the sector that ladds 577 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 13: the most is what we call durable goods. It's you know, 578 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 13: more of your discretionary items, the white goods in the household. 579 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 13: So you know, those lads for quite some time, but 580 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 13: we are now starting to see a bit of catch 581 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 13: up coming through and spending in those components, and I 582 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 13: think we can potentially see some of that momentum persisting 583 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 13: into the fast of season. 584 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 3: Events at the top level. I'm talking about, you know, 585 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 3: the national coalition, lower government debt, that kind of thing. 586 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 3: Do you think It's hard to know. I find it 587 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,239 Speaker 3: difficult to know if that's having an impact on how 588 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 3: people are feeling. My gut tells me it must, but 589 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 3: only a little bit. 590 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 13: I think the politics comes through very strongly when we 591 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 13: look at the business consumer the business confidence index. On 592 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 13: the consumer level, what we have seen in the past 593 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 13: that dented consumer sentiment quite significantly was whenever we had 594 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 13: big bounds of load shedding, which is also associated with 595 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 13: general political uncertain you know, the uncertain climate, which also 596 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 13: pulls through into the business sentiment indicator. But I think, 597 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 13: you know, we do have a negative political environment can 598 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 13: weigh on the consumer, and typically around your election periods, 599 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 13: you do feel that impact coming through at a consumer 600 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 13: sentiment level, you know. I think that comes with the 601 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 13: caveat that it's most strongly felt at a business level 602 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 13: that can dense things like profitability, sales margins, et cetera. 603 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 13: So I think that impact comes through, but I think 604 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 13: we see it more strongly on the business confidence index 605 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 13: more so than the consumer sentiment side. 606 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 3: I would like to hope that This also means the 607 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 3: sort of increased confidence goes into the beginning of next 608 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 3: year and that maybe, you know, the big uniform stationary 609 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 3: shop is maybe a little easier for a few people. 610 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 3: Obviously hard to know exactly what happens, but I'd like 611 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 3: to think this confidence continues. 612 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 13: Yeah, I think, you know, we need to look at 613 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 13: the drivers for the consumer going into twenty twenty six, 614 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 13: and I think that element of real wage growth is 615 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 13: going to persist simply because we've got the average outlook 616 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 13: for inflation next year a little bit lower, and I 617 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 13: think you know that will aid in purchasing power remaining 618 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 13: robust for the consumer. We've seen a slight pickap on 619 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 13: the household credit growth side. I say it slight because 620 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 13: relative to its long term history it is for quite muted, 621 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 13: but you know, in real term that is now starting 622 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 13: to creep up mortgages. You know that loan growth has 623 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 13: been quite suppressed. But outside of that, we have seen 624 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 13: more robust growth in things like general loans, informent sales, credit, leasing, finance, 625 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 13: credit cards, and that does aid consumption and then perhaps 626 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 13: a slight uptick in jobs growth, given that we are 627 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 13: expecting the economy to do a little bit better. Next year. 628 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 13: We anticipate in growth of one point six percent relative 629 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,479 Speaker 13: and expect of one point two percent this year. And 630 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 13: so all of these components together, I think does contract 631 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 13: your recipe for household consumption to remain you know, a 632 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 13: reasonable contributor of growth. But I think where we are 633 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 13: hanging our hats is for some recovery to start coming 634 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 13: through on the fixed investment side. Now, we started to 635 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 13: see some tentative signs that corporate credit growth has been 636 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 13: quite firm. That's been on the back of working capital 637 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 13: requirements supporting to the South African Reserve Bank, but also 638 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 13: quite a big element coming through there on the renewable 639 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 13: energy side. And so you know, if we can get 640 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 13: fixed investment growing once again, that's a far more sustainable 641 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 13: anchor of economic growth in South Africa. 642 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 3: Sanisia, thank you very much.

I know, though, I mean my patterns 651 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 3: will be disrupted. I'm sure yours will too. It might 652 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 3: not just be you driving your car. Might be your daughter, 653 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 3: might be your brother, might be whoever. You might actually 654 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 3: have people in the house, by which I mean renting 655 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 3: it out. Maybe Airbnb, if you're at the coast making 656 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 3: a fortune out of people like us who are not 657 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 3: at the coast. What about insurance though? What happens if 658 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 3: something goes wrong? And North is co founder of Naked 659 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 3: Good Evening. I don't know if you've ever been the 660 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 3: subject of one of your billboards or not, but if 661 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 3: you're renting out your house, what do you need to 662 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 3: know about insurance? I mean, does it matter who was 663 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 3: in the house if there is an incident? 664 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 14: Good Evening, Stephen, Yes, it's a good question, and the 665 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 14: answer yeah is yes, it does matter who is in it, 666 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:28,760 Speaker 14: and it does matter. 667 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 5: Who's driving your car. 668 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,000 Speaker 14: I think there's a big difference. Let's talk about the 669 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 14: home first. There's a big difference about a family that 670 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 14: lives in your house long term, and the insurance knows 671 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 14: about them and knows if there's anything that they do 672 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 14: on a regular basis versus a paying guest that arrives 673 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 14: and you know very little about them and they arrive 674 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,439 Speaker 14: for two or three days. So there's a very big 675 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 14: change in risk profile. And so the recommendation is if 676 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 14: you are going to be allowing friends or family to 677 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,800 Speaker 14: stay in your house rent free, then it doesn't impact 678 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 14: your insurance policy at all. Just ask them to look 679 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 14: after the place as well as they could, as well 680 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 14: as you would, but it doesn't affect your insurance at all. 681 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 14: If you are renting out your house on a short 682 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 14: term basis, then you do have to let your insurer know. 683 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,439 Speaker 14: Number one for the structural insurance. They need to know 684 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 14: if there's somebody that if they are high turnover of 685 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 14: people coming on a regular basis. But number two for 686 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,320 Speaker 14: your easily portable items when you're renting out your house. 687 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 14: Obviously those can't be insured for theft of somebody that 688 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 14: you don't know coming into your house. 689 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I imagine that would be the big thing I 690 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 3: would I would presume it's the short term rental that's 691 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 3: actually Brady, the big risk when it comes to property. 692 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 14: Absolutely, and so if you are there's a degree of 693 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,880 Speaker 14: insurance that's included in some of the packages the pen 694 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 14: on which platform you use, whether it's ABNB or other platforms, 695 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 14: in some cases there is a degree of insurance that's 696 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 14: included as part of the platform, But you really need 697 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 14: to manage risk on your own basis. Like I said, 698 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 14: your insurer can cover the building itself and some of 699 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 14: the contents, but some of the easily portable items, if 700 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 14: you don't put those away, then those can't be insured. 701 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 3: And then a car insurance and I find the small 702 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 3: print around car insurance just fascinating. That's such a sort of, 703 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 3: as you know, a kind of insurance war going on. 704 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 3: What do you need to look for in the small print? 705 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 3: If someone else is going to be driving your car 706 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 3: for a bit, or say for just. 707 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 14: A week, it's a similar situation where you're getting someone 708 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 14: else where someone else is paying you to use the car. 709 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 14: Then it becomes a commercial policy essentially, and your standard 710 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 14: personalized car insurance policy actually won't cover them. So that's 711 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 14: a very very important check that you need to do 712 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 14: if you are having someone pay you for using your call. 713 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 14: The more common scenario is where your friends or family 714 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 14: or just in town or you're not around and you're 715 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 14: letting them use your call. By all means, that's not 716 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 14: a problem. Ensure that they have a valid license. But 717 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 14: ninety five percent of insurance policies in South Africa cover 718 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,320 Speaker 14: you as long as that regular driver has your permission 719 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 14: and they have a valid they have a valid license, 720 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 14: do check out. There's a small number of policies in 721 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 14: South Africa that are limited by a specific name being 722 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 14: allowed to drive the car. So check out if you 723 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 14: have one of those policies. And secondly, if you do 724 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 14: have a policy that allows any driver, make sure that 725 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 14: you understand what the additional excess would be. Some policy 726 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 14: in South Africa charge an additional excess if somebody other 727 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 14: than the regular driver is in an accident, so check 728 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 14: that in advance. If your insurer happens to be one 729 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 14: of those, and. 730 00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:02,879 Speaker 3: Very quickly, the age of the driver matters, doesn't It. 731 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 14: Almost only in that last scenario that I described, where 732 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 14: if your insurer charge is an extra excess in certain circumstances, 733 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 14: when it's not the regular driver, so very often it's 734 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 14: the person that's borrowing the core is under twenty five 735 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 14: or they've had their license for less than a year, 736 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 14: then you could be subject to an additional excess. So 737 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 14: check if your insurer is one of those and then 738 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 14: it's good that you understand those seasons seas in advance. 739 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 3: Ernest North, thanks so much, Really do appreciate it, co 740 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 3: founder of Naked Yeah, a lot to look at when 741 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 3: you think about insurance.

At the moment, I'm pleased to 757 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 3: see there are hardly any about leadership. My favorite sort 758 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 3: of bag bear is going into a shop and just 759 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 3: seeing everybody queuing of the leadership. I mean, if it 760 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 3: was that easy, people wouldn't be writing books about it. Anyway, 761 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 3: we'll talk about that.

These 779 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 3: are international companies. You heard last week the conversation with 780 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,319 Speaker 3: Carol Peyton and as If Wickham about how they're going 781 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,280 Speaker 3: to work with South African companies will be vee partners 782 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 3: as a big debate about whether we should do things 783 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 3: in a slightly different way there or not. But rom 784 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 3: Mcorper also talking about smelters and we know that Eskam 785 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 3: and the government and the smelting companies the miners have 786 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 3: been talking about some sort of deal because Electricty has 787 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 3: just been too expensive and that's priced them out of 788 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 3: the market. Essentially quite a complicated area, and I see 789 00:41:58,239 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 3: that the Minister said today there's going to be no 790 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 3: free lunch. And in the end, you rarely are trying 791 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,760 Speaker 3: to square the circle circle the square pick one, because 792 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 3: all you're doing is you're trying to make sure that 793 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,399 Speaker 3: electricity is affordable for these companies and the only way 794 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 3: to really do it in the realistic way is through 795 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 3: some kind of subsidy either from other electricity users in 796 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 3: other words, people who pay the full price for electricity 797 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:26,320 Speaker 3: that's you and I, or through tax from a government subsidy, 798 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 3: but then you're subsidizing a private company. Then things get 799 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 3: more and more complicated from there, so no free lunch. 800 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 3: I don't know how this is going to work. I 801 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 3: know when we've spoken to the CEO of one of 802 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 3: the companies, you know, we're pretty optimistic that something serious 803 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 3: was on the table. So it's very glad to year that. 804 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:43,399 Speaker 3: I thought that was quite interesting. But still we are 805 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 3: just going to have to wait to see how this 806 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 3: plans out. I think there's going to be a lot 807 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,239 Speaker 3: more water under the bridge before we know where we are. 808 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 3: Eleven minutes after seven The Money Show, Business Books, Well, 809 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,799 Speaker 3: I'm pleased to tell you we've got some time with 810 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 3: Ian Man tonight and he's going to take you through 811 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 3: his books of the year. The end Good evening. I 812 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,920 Speaker 3: was making the point a moment ago that the situation 813 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,839 Speaker 3: that we're in now, the different trends that we're seeing, 814 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,879 Speaker 3: the different dynamics, it's probably making this quite a good 815 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,040 Speaker 3: time to be writing a book. 816 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 16: Well, there's so much going on. It really is a 817 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,080 Speaker 16: lot going on, and I think what we need to 818 00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 16: do now is to allows us to be able to 819 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 16: sober up a bit and get back to basics. And 820 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 16: I think that the very first book I'm going to 821 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 16: be sharing with you. The back of the book, he says, 822 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 16: this is a book for people who don't like books 823 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:30,720 Speaker 16: on leadership. 824 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 3: Management my kind of guy. 825 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,880 Speaker 16: Yes, anyway, it's called Slaying the Standard. What's most interesting 826 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 16: about this book is that he's the author. I don't 827 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,800 Speaker 16: know him personally. He's a South African. He's bought a 828 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 16: think called the Alpha Group, and apparently it's an extraordinarily 829 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 16: well they're involved in things like insurance, fitness and hospitality 830 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 16: and other things. But what is so interesting about the 831 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,879 Speaker 16: book is that there's a lot of very practical, very 832 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,680 Speaker 16: wise things in the book, but they're down to earth. 833 00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 3: There's no rocket science here. 834 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 16: Print is that's the simple things that we should know 835 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,360 Speaker 16: that we don't know, or the things that we overlook. 836 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 16: And as you're so busy with trying to maintain your 837 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,279 Speaker 16: business that you just don't get things done before we do. 838 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:13,839 Speaker 16: That's want to point out one thing because I think 839 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:18,680 Speaker 16: this is relevant. In South Africa. The ratio of smmes 840 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:25,440 Speaker 16: to large businesses is ninety one to nine, so we 841 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:30,839 Speaker 16: are most South Africans are involved in large in smmes. 842 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,000 Speaker 16: These are ones, by the way, these the registered ones, 843 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,360 Speaker 16: and very few in the very big ones. What we 844 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,840 Speaker 16: don't do enough talking about when we talk about leadership 845 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 16: or management managing businesses is to worry about how does 846 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,719 Speaker 16: the smaller business run itself? And I think that one 847 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,360 Speaker 16: I like most about this book was that he's looking 848 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 16: primarily at I thought he was aiming primarily at the smaller, small, medium, 849 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 16: and micro enterprise enterprise. And he's got a lot of 850 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,800 Speaker 16: very very good in a lot of good ideas that 851 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 16: worth talking about. 852 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,440 Speaker 3: So one of the things I find interesting about so 853 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 3: many leadership books is you know you'll see that effect 854 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 3: habits of people or whatever, and they'll say, you know, 855 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,799 Speaker 3: get up early, or I like to take time to 856 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,759 Speaker 3: think before six in the morning. I mean, no one's 857 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 3: going to do that. So I'm interested by the point 858 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 3: you make that this is all very durable. 859 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 16: Very doable, very dual. And I think the one thing 860 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 16: that starts off by saying is is this perfection is 861 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,960 Speaker 16: not what isn't what you're looking for. You're not looking 862 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,800 Speaker 16: for flaw us. It's it's you're going to have to 863 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,320 Speaker 16: accept that that thing doesn't exist. What's far more important 864 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,439 Speaker 16: than perfection we are going to be perfect, is we're 865 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:41,400 Speaker 16: going to progress. 866 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:43,920 Speaker 5: Now. There's not a new idea now. 867 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,759 Speaker 16: Way back in twenty and eleven, if my memory is 868 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 16: certainly correctly, Theresa Anabio from Harvard wrote a book called 869 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 16: the Progress Principle, and what she did was she proved 870 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 16: that the biggest motivator of human beings, because we have 871 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,239 Speaker 16: the most people to make progress, is not what we 872 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,879 Speaker 16: always thought it was. It's not that you're having fun 873 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,160 Speaker 16: at work. It's not that you have friends at work. 874 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 16: It's not even that you're well paid. It's not that 875 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,359 Speaker 16: your boss is nice to you. None of those things count. 876 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,960 Speaker 16: In fact, all of those things together don't count as 877 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 16: much as the one thing she says is makes the 878 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,719 Speaker 16: biggest difference, and that is I feel I'm making progress. 879 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,720 Speaker 16: Says this, this this feeling of efficacy, that I'm actually 880 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 16: getting better at something. Rather so somebody can say, what 881 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 16: was the best thing that happened to you today? Wasn't 882 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 16: that you've got a raise. I went to my boss, 883 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,279 Speaker 16: I said, and I've got a project I want to do, 884 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,319 Speaker 16: and you see, go ahead, yes, go ahead. And that's 885 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,359 Speaker 16: what feeling that my life is getting better and I'm 886 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,319 Speaker 16: making progress is really really important. I think that one 887 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,200 Speaker 16: of the things he's specialist here is it's not perfection. 888 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,200 Speaker 16: We're not looking for flaws perfection. All we're looking for 889 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 16: is making progress and you're just getting a little better 890 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 16: all the time. And I think that was that's a 891 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 16: profound thought. And we've got to get away from this 892 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,360 Speaker 16: perfection and stuff because nonsense, it doesn't work. So I 893 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:06,280 Speaker 16: thought there was a very very useful point. He also 894 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,640 Speaker 16: makes another useful point, and most of these points, by 895 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,759 Speaker 16: the way, on not points that no one has ever 896 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 16: mentioned before, which is quite nice. And next one he 897 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,440 Speaker 16: talks about is having exceptional staff. And he said he 898 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 16: wanted exceptional staff at one time and realized what a 899 00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,279 Speaker 16: bad idea that was. Well, there's there's a. 900 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 3: Lot of it. 901 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 16: There's a lot of books, a number of books I've 902 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 16: read about teams made up of really first rate players, 903 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,960 Speaker 16: particularly football for some reason. Other we have a group 904 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 16: of superstars, they don't do particularly well. You're better of 905 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,359 Speaker 16: having people not superstars, who play together and the type 906 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,120 Speaker 16: of things that you want to do. You you want 907 00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,799 Speaker 16: to get people who are easy, who are able to 908 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,520 Speaker 16: get on with other people better. You want to be 909 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,439 Speaker 16: sure that you don't know when you when you get 910 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 16: mad at somebody. I haven't checked this out. He says, 911 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 16: your IQ dropped seventy percent. 912 00:47:59,000 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure. 913 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,399 Speaker 16: I don't know we seventies right or forties right, But 914 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,280 Speaker 16: your IQ drops definitely when you start getting mad at people. 915 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:07,600 Speaker 16: And he says that what we want to do with 916 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,239 Speaker 16: our stuff is we want to be sure that we 917 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:13,360 Speaker 16: stop gossiping, we stop spreading rumors about colleagues, and we 918 00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 16: just get and we just accept that we have to 919 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,239 Speaker 16: get on with each other. That's it. I don't have 920 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,400 Speaker 16: to we don't have to be friends. We certainly have 921 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,840 Speaker 16: to get on with each other. And gossiping and telling 922 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,840 Speaker 16: and spreading rumors about people doesn't help anyone. All obvious stuff, 923 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 16: but stuff we don't. We don't place much attention on. 924 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:34,200 Speaker 16: Many talks about talk straight, and I'll talk to morebo 925 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,960 Speaker 16: on the other box, which talks about talking straight. He says, 926 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:41,319 Speaker 16: no sugar coating, he said, you don't. Don't. Don't go 927 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:45,200 Speaker 16: around protecting your turf. He says, open the playing fields. 928 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,319 Speaker 16: If something is going wrong, open it. What they've done 929 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,480 Speaker 16: at very very one of the best run companies I've 930 00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 16: ever come across is Netflix and the intros. In Netflix, 931 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 16: they have a policy that to make mistake, it's fine, 932 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,880 Speaker 16: we don't mind you making mistakes, or we expect you 933 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,279 Speaker 16: to we expect you to sunlight them. So if you've 934 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,360 Speaker 16: messed up just a lot three million dollars because I 935 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 16: invested in air Dog, and and you get your way 936 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,360 Speaker 16: together and you say, look, I'm invested in this because 937 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 16: I thought this would happen. I didn't take that idea 938 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,359 Speaker 16: into account. I didn't look at this. I didn't look 939 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 16: at that. And you go and you tell as many 940 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 16: people as you possibly can. And the reason behind that, 941 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 16: the reason behind that is that people want to be 942 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,959 Speaker 16: want to get better over time, and they've actually bought 943 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 16: into a culture, and a culture of Netflix is where 944 00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 16: we're not a we're not a family, we're a team, 945 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,560 Speaker 16: and if you're not as good as the best player, 946 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 16: we're going to relegate you. 947 00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:45,239 Speaker 3: So it was very keen. 948 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,920 Speaker 16: I think that that that's stimulus of getting people to 949 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 16: open the playing fields and work is a really good one. 950 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,359 Speaker 3: And then one of the other books you've picked is 951 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,719 Speaker 3: Conquering Crisis by Admiral William mcgraven interesting. 952 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:04,440 Speaker 16: William mccraven. I've read quite a lot of books about 953 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,880 Speaker 16: the military, and it's not because I have any respect 954 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,960 Speaker 16: for the idea of the military. I think is one 955 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,319 Speaker 16: of the biggest mistakes human beings have ever made is 956 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 16: to invest in well so many trillions and stuff which 957 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 16: doesn't add much to humanity. But one things mc craven 958 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 16: does he was he was the head of Special Ops 959 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,440 Speaker 16: for the United States and he at the end of 960 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:31,080 Speaker 16: his career he became the head of the Universities of Texas, 961 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,720 Speaker 16: the system, and he has a man's been through everything 962 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:36,879 Speaker 16: from Afghanistan to. 963 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:38,360 Speaker 5: All sorts of things. 964 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 16: And one of the things he does, he's got he's 965 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 16: got a ten point plan, which I think in the 966 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 16: book by the Way says this is these are the 967 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,600 Speaker 16: lessons you better learn when you don't need them. And 968 00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:54,319 Speaker 16: the lessons starts this is bear in mind that the 969 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:58,000 Speaker 16: first report you get about something being wrong is wrong. 970 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,440 Speaker 16: It's whatever it is, you can be assured it's not correct. 971 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,719 Speaker 16: And I think that when we hear bad news, we 972 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,600 Speaker 16: tend to either fall over or try to respond to 973 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,759 Speaker 16: bad news, which is the wrong thing to try and 974 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,279 Speaker 16: work out what's really going on. I've a very very 975 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 16: sound advice. The second thing he talks about throughout your career, 976 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,959 Speaker 16: as you're building up, building up your your management team 977 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 16: or your friend team or your colleagues, see that you 978 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,000 Speaker 16: have a council of what he calls counsel of colonels, 979 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,080 Speaker 16: people who you can talk to. Those are the people 980 00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 16: who can say you're talking nonsense, you're out of line, 981 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,560 Speaker 16: and they'll talk straight to you. They're not trying to 982 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,800 Speaker 16: cover anything. If you can get if you can surround 983 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,959 Speaker 16: yourself with the council of colonels when things go wrong again, 984 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 16: be extraordinary valuable to you. The third thing he said, 985 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 16: which I love, He says, bad news doesn't get better 986 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 16: with time. 987 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 3: You have to do something. 988 00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,319 Speaker 16: The people tend to people tend to figures. Let me 989 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 16: not mention this right now. Let's just let's try and see. 990 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,480 Speaker 16: See even I die down, it never dies down. And 991 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:10,279 Speaker 16: so when you accept I might all come and tell 992 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,000 Speaker 16: you right now that things have gone terribly wrong, to 993 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:17,960 Speaker 16: wait until you find out for yourself. Another point he mentions, 994 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,360 Speaker 16: which is obvious, but I think it's it's it's it's 995 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 16: very useful. And he gives all he gives examples throughout 996 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 16: the book of his experiences in the military, and with 997 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:33,399 Speaker 16: these sorts of experiences, he says, weaponize the truth. There's 998 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,800 Speaker 16: nothing so when when you as soon as you start 999 00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:40,320 Speaker 16: lying or or covering up, you're going to get yourself 1000 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,040 Speaker 16: into more and more trouble and have more and more 1001 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,359 Speaker 16: people bothering you. The thing actually weaponize the fact. I'm 1002 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,880 Speaker 16: telling you exact truth is what it really is. There's 1003 00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:50,840 Speaker 16: there's a couple of other ones which I think you 1004 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:56,280 Speaker 16: are particularly important and and the one is don't rush 1005 00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 16: to failure. Take your time as much as you possibly 1006 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,000 Speaker 16: can to try and work out what's really going on, 1007 00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,440 Speaker 16: and deal with things slowly and as carefully as you 1008 00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 16: as you as you as you possibly can. He ended 1009 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,800 Speaker 16: his career as the head of the University of Texas 1010 00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:16,120 Speaker 16: and really messed up. He bought land which he hoped 1011 00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,840 Speaker 16: was was going to be used for a tech university, 1012 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,799 Speaker 16: which never happened and was wasting money. And anyway, after 1013 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,680 Speaker 16: he been beaten up publicly by the press, he said 1014 00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,280 Speaker 16: he heard one heard a man who's been in military 1015 00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:33,480 Speaker 16: for a long time standing outside with his secretary and charting. 1016 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 3: Moral moral check, moral check. 1017 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:40,960 Speaker 16: You know, you see I know what the term is, 1018 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 16: and the guy burst into his office past the secretary. 1019 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 16: In the military, the everything called a moral check. When 1020 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,960 Speaker 16: things go wrong, people around you need to check how 1021 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,920 Speaker 16: are you feeling, how are you doing? Do you need 1022 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,560 Speaker 16: any help? And I think that's the one, such a 1023 00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,719 Speaker 16: wonderful thing. But people around you, they also need It's 1024 00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,320 Speaker 16: not only you you in your crisis, it's it's you 1025 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:01,040 Speaker 16: and the whole group. 1026 00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,239 Speaker 3: There's we do need to talk to. Some of the 1027 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,880 Speaker 3: other books, please do Super Bloom How Technologies of Connection 1028 00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,719 Speaker 3: Tear Us Apart? Its by Nicholas Carr. I haven't come 1029 00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:14,520 Speaker 3: across this before, but but I mean it sounds like 1030 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,319 Speaker 3: like what's really going on with that? With with all 1031 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,680 Speaker 3: of us social media there is too much connection. We 1032 00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,799 Speaker 3: never get away from it. And Australia is looking at 1033 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,680 Speaker 3: banning social media for under sixteen's or has done and 1034 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:27,319 Speaker 3: things like that. 1035 00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:33,319 Speaker 16: The book is is a veritable history of communication from 1036 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:38,799 Speaker 16: the telegraph to to to to the live stream, and 1037 00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,360 Speaker 16: he shows that what's happened with each evolution. There was 1038 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,600 Speaker 16: a time when people bought a newspaper, or some people 1039 00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:48,040 Speaker 16: bought a newspaper, and when it was printed it was 1040 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,680 Speaker 16: relevant but you only got it much later and could 1041 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 16: only read it, and only read if you bought it. 1042 00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,920 Speaker 16: Then we evolved, and eventually we've got to point where 1043 00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,359 Speaker 16: we've got radio, so everybody could hear the same thing 1044 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,000 Speaker 16: at the same time. And then we've got to television 1045 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,760 Speaker 16: we can also see the same see the same things 1046 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,400 Speaker 16: at the same time, and and the way we've communicators 1047 00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 16: evolved a lot. As far as he's concerned, the biggest 1048 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,520 Speaker 16: The biggest change was was live feeds. 1049 00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:14,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, he said. 1050 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:19,040 Speaker 16: What happens is that live feeds are built on algorithms, 1051 00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:23,640 Speaker 16: so there's not something monitoring what's going on. The algorithm says. 1052 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,399 Speaker 16: For example, to pick an example I've used before, and 1053 00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,239 Speaker 16: the massacre of the of the of the of the 1054 00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:33,200 Speaker 16: wigas was was was based not on the fact that 1055 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,640 Speaker 16: they'd done anything wrong. It was based on the fact 1056 00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:39,040 Speaker 16: that the algorithms that they were fed were algorithm which 1057 00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:44,440 Speaker 16: stimulated anger and fear. Anything that stimulates anger and fear 1058 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,280 Speaker 16: will keep you going and keep you more interested. Therefore 1059 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 16: they'll send you more and more of those feeds. So 1060 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,960 Speaker 16: you've been fed all the stuff that you really want 1061 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 16: to hear, or probably don't even want to hear. But 1062 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 16: it keeps coming at you. And probably one of the 1063 00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,799 Speaker 16: most dangerous things about all this is that they're not 1064 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 16: it's not like some offering you, offering you cigarettes when 1065 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:09,279 Speaker 16: you're fourteen years old or drugs when you're older. We 1066 00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 16: want these drugs. We want them very badly because there's 1067 00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,080 Speaker 16: something that people want more than anything else. People want 1068 00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,680 Speaker 16: to be informed and what they're doing the same will 1069 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:22,440 Speaker 16: inform you. So it's really really addictive and people spend 1070 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,960 Speaker 16: an enormous amount of time on this. Well, I think 1071 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,200 Speaker 16: it's most important, but super bloom and I think it's 1072 00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:30,440 Speaker 16: a book very very worth reading. It's a serious book 1073 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 16: and will researched. Is that that's where we're going. 1074 00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:35,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, and we might as well. 1075 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,560 Speaker 16: Just we have to deal with it. It's okay to 1076 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,760 Speaker 16: go away, and we're not by saying their little children 1077 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:46,200 Speaker 16: can't use the internet. So it's not going to fix 1078 00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,120 Speaker 16: It'll just it may delay it if we can. 1079 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,480 Speaker 3: Ah, I mean there's so much too. I mean, I 1080 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,560 Speaker 3: think it's one of the big ish questions of our time. 1081 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,400 Speaker 3: And then five types of wealth, so he'll bloom. 1082 00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,640 Speaker 16: Yes, I think what we have the book is not 1083 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:02,720 Speaker 16: an usual book, but it's one of the best written 1084 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:10,280 Speaker 16: books of the type Sneels. He was a son of 1085 00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 16: Americans called not a wealthy man. His father was a 1086 00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:17,160 Speaker 16: university professor, and say he wasn't. He didn't grow up 1087 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,120 Speaker 16: in a home with great wealth, and he always wanted 1088 00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 16: to be very, very rich. And the way to do that, 1089 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 16: he found out, was to go to university, do a 1090 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,480 Speaker 16: degree in finance, join a finance company. In a couple 1091 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:28,680 Speaker 16: of years, you'll be a millionaire. 1092 00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:29,240 Speaker 5: And he was. 1093 00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,360 Speaker 16: He said, what makes them was that he wasn't happy. 1094 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:37,320 Speaker 16: And he realized that. He started doing surveys of people, 1095 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:42,840 Speaker 16: from ex murderers to barbers to individuals and ask them 1096 00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:46,000 Speaker 16: what makes people happy and one and he came up 1097 00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,680 Speaker 16: with a set of ideas about what makes people happy. 1098 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 16: And the idea is to try and get your life 1099 00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,320 Speaker 16: to take care of these different elements. But he hasn't 1100 00:57:56,360 --> 00:58:01,240 Speaker 16: got the He doesn't make the mistake by work life balance. 1101 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:05,080 Speaker 16: Balance is a technique as an engineering term. It's got 1102 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,439 Speaker 16: nothing to do with my life when I when I'm 1103 00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,520 Speaker 16: when I'm young and beginning a career, I have to 1104 00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,880 Speaker 16: spend much much more time in the office than I 1105 00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,240 Speaker 16: have to do later on. What he does do is 1106 00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 16: he focuses on the things that really will make a difference, 1107 00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 16: and that that's time, your social life, your your material wealth, 1108 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:26,720 Speaker 16: your physical your physical well being, and your material conditions, 1109 00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,720 Speaker 16: and of course your financial situations. And he talked about 1110 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:32,280 Speaker 16: calibrating all those things. And there's one image that I 1111 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,720 Speaker 16: liked very, very much in his book. He talked about 1112 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,480 Speaker 16: his father as a university professor and he was flying 1113 00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,280 Speaker 16: across the country with his father. He says, right throughout 1114 00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:44,360 Speaker 16: the eleven hour trip, whatever it was, his father was 1115 00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,800 Speaker 16: reading and making notes, and he said, Dad, you haven't 1116 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 16: even watched a single movie. He says, I work like this. 1117 00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,120 Speaker 16: I can take you on holidays with me when I go, 1118 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,040 Speaker 16: and I think we need to understand that. And he 1119 00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:01,120 Speaker 16: also has another compelling image. He says, who who's going 1120 00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 16: to be in the front row of your at your funeral? 1121 00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,360 Speaker 16: And he says, you've got to see that you spend 1122 00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,920 Speaker 16: the right quality time with the people who are likely 1123 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:14,840 Speaker 16: to be in the front row. And then scarce parents 1124 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:19,240 Speaker 16: scared me too that when your children, you've got about 1125 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,920 Speaker 16: thirteen years of children, then you don't have them anymore. 1126 00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,400 Speaker 16: And for the first thirteen years of your life, you're 1127 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,959 Speaker 16: probably the most important, largest and strongest man in the block. 1128 00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,800 Speaker 16: But by the time they get to thirteen, you don't count, 1129 00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,480 Speaker 16: and you Allio are as a hotelier and the an, 1130 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 16: the chauffeur. Now, I think getting all these getting all 1131 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 16: these things into into context, I felt was a very 1132 00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 16: very nice idea, and it's a good thing to read. 1133 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:44,360 Speaker 5: Everyman. 1134 00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:46,520 Speaker 3: Ian Man, Good to see you.

And then I went into all sorts 1166 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 5: of different careers in tree felling and carpentry and home 1167 01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,479 Speaker 5: building and sales, selling things and you name it, until 1168 01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:26,520 Speaker 5: I found my thing when I was a ripe old 1169 01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,040 Speaker 5: age of twenty seven. 1170 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:30,680 Speaker 3: Where were you when all this was happening? 1171 01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 5: From Cape Town no, No, I was born in the States. 1172 01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:35,600 Speaker 5: I moved here when I was one. I lived in 1173 01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,160 Speaker 5: Joeburg for a bit, and then I moved down to 1174 01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,200 Speaker 5: derbys where I went to high school and university, and 1175 01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:41,880 Speaker 5: so some of it happened in Durban. Then I went 1176 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:45,240 Speaker 5: across to the States and I worked in Texas for bits, 1177 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,959 Speaker 5: and then I came home, and in nineteen ninety six 1178 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,280 Speaker 5: I decided to start cooking in the Cape. So I've 1179 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,600 Speaker 5: been here kind of ever since. So this is my home, 1180 01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:54,560 Speaker 5: this Roban longest. 1181 01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:58,320 Speaker 3: No sure why cooking. I mean, was there something that 1182 01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:01,320 Speaker 3: dragged you to it? Was there you met someone's mate 1183 01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:04,600 Speaker 3: who did something and you thought, wow, did something else happen? 1184 01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:07,320 Speaker 5: No, I think I've always had an inkling for it. 1185 01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,120 Speaker 5: You know, my mom rest assults she was not the 1186 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,440 Speaker 5: greatest of cooks. I used to spend a lot of 1187 01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,880 Speaker 5: my time fixing her dinners up and throwing a handful 1188 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,400 Speaker 5: of olives and this, and it's a pinch of herbs 1189 01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:19,840 Speaker 5: and that and chopped up ham and another thing. And 1190 01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:22,400 Speaker 5: I don't realize until hours later in my career, when 1191 01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,440 Speaker 5: I was kind of just doing nothing that really inspired 1192 01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:28,200 Speaker 5: me that my mom's best friend actually said, listen, why 1193 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,000 Speaker 5: don't you cook? I can see how much you love it, 1194 01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,320 Speaker 5: and that was it and I haven't looked back since. 1195 01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:37,200 Speaker 3: So from quite a young age. I mean, how old 1196 01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,480 Speaker 3: were you when you first started messing with your mom's cooking? 1197 01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:41,920 Speaker 3: How old were you when you first sort of found 1198 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:44,240 Speaker 3: it interesting and we're adding your own things to it. 1199 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,800 Speaker 5: I remember as yes, as far as I can remember, 1200 01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:50,480 Speaker 5: actually used to get stuck in my grandma's kitchen. She 1201 01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:54,560 Speaker 5: lived in Delmas, and she used to put on these 1202 01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,280 Speaker 5: elaborate dinners. I was always in there, interested as a 1203 01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,360 Speaker 5: six year old, as a five six year old, and 1204 01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 5: then I just kind of grew as with my dad 1205 01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:05,280 Speaker 5: make an apricol jam every summer in London. And you know, 1206 01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:07,640 Speaker 5: it's just I didn't realize it until I started cooking 1207 01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:08,720 Speaker 5: that I had an interest in it. 1208 01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,640 Speaker 3: It's funny. I mean, sometimes something stirs you. I suppose 1209 01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,440 Speaker 3: so you go and study. I have no idea how 1210 01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:18,160 Speaker 3: you study to be a chef, but I presume it 1211 01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:19,760 Speaker 3: involves a lot of time in a kitchen. 1212 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 5: Yes, I came here to bonnh Hook to Stella Bosh 1213 01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:28,720 Speaker 5: and it is one year of intensive like classes and 1214 01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:30,560 Speaker 5: they try and teach you as much as they can 1215 01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,080 Speaker 5: and cram it in a year, and then it's another 1216 01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:36,160 Speaker 5: year of practical kitchens where you spend a block of 1217 01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:39,080 Speaker 5: three months in different kitchens and it's still the same today. 1218 01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:40,720 Speaker 5: This is what they seements do for a two year 1219 01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:44,000 Speaker 5: course and three years a bit more specialized. But yeah, 1220 01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,880 Speaker 5: it was an inspiring time for me. And you know, 1221 01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:48,520 Speaker 5: because I was a bit older, I was twenty six 1222 01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 5: or twenty seven, I took in a lot more quicker 1223 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,880 Speaker 5: because I knew this was my last chance. Like I 1224 01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:55,640 Speaker 5: think a lot of chefs realize that, you know, this 1225 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:57,440 Speaker 5: is I try a lot of things and I kind 1226 01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,720 Speaker 5: of end up cooking and it's something that you can 1227 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:03,120 Speaker 5: actual you do well from. And then I realized that afterwards. 1228 01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:08,360 Speaker 3: So so when you were learning, I mean I still 1229 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,480 Speaker 3: have people in the back of my mind sometimes when 1230 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:12,760 Speaker 3: I'm making a journalistic conversation, I think, what would this 1231 01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,520 Speaker 3: person say, what would they do? Were they were they 1232 01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,520 Speaker 3: sort of were they people like that from where you 1233 01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,760 Speaker 3: were learning or did you actually quite quickly think no, no, no, 1234 01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:25,000 Speaker 3: I can I can do this differently? I mean, I'm 1235 01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,480 Speaker 3: really looking for sort of some of your career influences 1236 01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,480 Speaker 3: when you were starting out, because I know, I know 1237 01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:31,200 Speaker 3: there would have been people who'd have influenced you later, 1238 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:32,959 Speaker 3: but when you were starting out with a particular people 1239 01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:33,640 Speaker 3: who played a role. 1240 01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:36,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I said, my mom's best friend was the 1241 01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:38,680 Speaker 5: one that kind of looked at spark and she you know, 1242 01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 5: she was from Denmark and she used to cook these 1243 01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:44,000 Speaker 5: elaborate lunches and dinners at her place. And because my 1244 01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:45,560 Speaker 5: mom and her are such good friends, I used to 1245 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,360 Speaker 5: go there quite often. So she was definitely she's pastorations then, 1246 01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:51,760 Speaker 5: but she was definitely inspiration. And then you know, in training, 1247 01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,880 Speaker 5: and there was a my first year I went to 1248 01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,280 Speaker 5: go eat my first year of training, I went to 1249 01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:59,520 Speaker 5: eat at the Grand Russia. Tell her a friend, chef 1250 01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,880 Speaker 5: named ra he was here cooking. He was a cooking 1251 01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,440 Speaker 5: show and he was actually cooking a meal there that night. 1252 01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,400 Speaker 5: I managed to get a seat for it, and right 1253 01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,000 Speaker 5: then the penny kind of dropped and I realized, after 1254 01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,360 Speaker 5: tasting his food and just looking at creative, was that 1255 01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:14,680 Speaker 5: this is the right move for me. And I was 1256 01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 5: happy that I made that choice. And yeah, and since then, 1257 01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,360 Speaker 5: you know, guys like Mark Up You're White, has been inspirational. 1258 01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:24,680 Speaker 5: He's the godfather of modern English cuisine. And I actually 1259 01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:26,800 Speaker 5: worked for him my first job in London, which is 1260 01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:30,160 Speaker 5: also amazing. And then I was just building, building upon 1261 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,680 Speaker 5: your career. Good places. The next place to go to 1262 01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 5: must always be better, That's what That's the stance I took, 1263 01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:40,120 Speaker 5: and never wanted to go backwards, never wanted to settle, 1264 01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,440 Speaker 5: even took a job. I left market peer White's restaurant 1265 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,800 Speaker 5: as a Sioux chef, and I said I wasn't ready. 1266 01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,080 Speaker 5: I took two steps back as a chef to party 1267 01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:49,600 Speaker 5: just so I could learn more. And I actually worked 1268 01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:51,720 Speaker 5: for free for three months in London. They all thought 1269 01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:52,480 Speaker 5: I won the lottery. 1270 01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:57,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure, So just tell me how that works 1271 01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:00,240 Speaker 3: when you're climbing I mean sort of the ladder.

Wherever I worked and I paid dividends, 1299 01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,640 Speaker 5: you know, And I can not recommend I highly enough 1300 01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:14,720 Speaker 5: that the youngsters of today, just do that, keep looking 1301 01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,480 Speaker 5: for don't look for the paycheck that stage. 1302 01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:21,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, when you're in a kitchen like that, how important 1303 01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,640 Speaker 3: does the personality of the sort of head chef matter? 1304 01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,960 Speaker 3: Are they very different from kitchen to kitchen because of 1305 01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,680 Speaker 3: that or are they actually quite similar because there's a 1306 01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,040 Speaker 3: way to do these things. 1307 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:37,040 Speaker 5: Well, they are, they aren't. They all have their own personality. 1308 01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:41,360 Speaker 5: But it was always very regimental. Everything has done very militarily, 1309 01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:44,919 Speaker 5: so there's this hierarchy and you've just got to earn 1310 01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:47,560 Speaker 5: your stripes and get your get yourself out that ladder. 1311 01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,160 Speaker 5: And the young ones when they come into the kitchen, 1312 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 5: they're or they're always abused, just like any youngster that 1313 01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,720 Speaker 5: comes into the military. They take abuse. They want to 1314 01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,200 Speaker 5: see how hard they are and how how how they 1315 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:02,120 Speaker 5: can mold these new young shifts. And it's still like 1316 01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:05,160 Speaker 5: that today, maybe not as as angrily because back then 1317 01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,400 Speaker 5: in the nineties, there used to be some a lot 1318 01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,240 Speaker 5: of words turned around, a lot of abuse. But things 1319 01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:13,360 Speaker 5: have kind of become a little a little bit easier 1320 01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:14,800 Speaker 5: to work in those conditions nowadays. 1321 01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,519 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we've all seen the sort of 1322 01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:21,000 Speaker 3: documentaries and the reality TV and this and the that, 1323 01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:23,200 Speaker 3: but swearing did seem to be a part of it, 1324 01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:26,599 Speaker 3: and I wondered if there's something about cooking that maybe 1325 01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:29,479 Speaker 3: late to more swearing. It's hard, you're working in a 1326 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:33,920 Speaker 3: difficult environment. Mistakes cost money, the ingredients matter, I mean, 1327 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:34,800 Speaker 3: is there something to that. 1328 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:39,160 Speaker 5: Oh, definitely, definitely. When you get tired, you get emotional, 1329 01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:42,360 Speaker 5: when you get emotional pressures on and you're getting pressurize 1330 01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:46,160 Speaker 5: from above. Yeah, it happens. It's just a natural thing 1331 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,599 Speaker 5: that we do. And unfortunately it's hard to hold back sometimes, 1332 01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:51,960 Speaker 5: especially when you're tired. You're doing you know, it's your 1333 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:53,720 Speaker 5: third or fourth double in a row, and you're doing 1334 01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:56,920 Speaker 5: the hours in this ninety five hour week, and you 1335 01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,040 Speaker 5: know everybody's shouting at you. You're going to You're going 1336 01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:01,880 Speaker 5: to crack. It's not the industry, not at all. It's 1337 01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,439 Speaker 5: like one of the toughest industries to manage it. And 1338 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:06,719 Speaker 5: you just got to re strong world and you're gonna 1339 01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,479 Speaker 5: have determination that you're going to push through and this 1340 01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:10,960 Speaker 5: guy is not going to get the better of you 1341 01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,840 Speaker 5: no matter what. Because it's easy just to retaliate and 1342 01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,599 Speaker 5: lose your job and try to find another job, and 1343 01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:18,920 Speaker 5: you know that's not the right way to do. It's 1344 01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,479 Speaker 5: just bite your tongue and push through. You know, you 1345 01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,559 Speaker 5: cut your finger, just wrap it up and carry on 1346 01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:24,639 Speaker 5: in a. 1347 01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:26,320 Speaker 3: Blue plast You got are in their respect. That's the 1348 01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:30,120 Speaker 3: most important thing. Yeah, yeah, get stuff done. When you 1349 01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:34,240 Speaker 3: are working like that, and when you're leading a kitchen, Peter, 1350 01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:37,040 Speaker 3: and it's a long shift and there's lots of difficulty, 1351 01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:39,000 Speaker 3: how do you feel at the end of the day. 1352 01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:43,479 Speaker 3: Obviously tired. I mean I would expect that, but is 1353 01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:46,439 Speaker 3: it so rewarding? Do you think, sure I got that, 1354 01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,719 Speaker 3: I nailed that, or that worked out, or the kitchen 1355 01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:49,200 Speaker 3: did well? 1356 01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 5: Here today, Stephen, the feeling is absolutely addictive. It's this 1357 01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,559 Speaker 5: blood rushes through you. You feel you've accomplished something so great, 1358 01:09:57,600 --> 01:09:59,840 Speaker 5: and because you realize how tough it is when you're 1359 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,960 Speaker 5: actually the first day I did my solid service in 1360 01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:06,040 Speaker 5: on my own, you know, a really high pressure kitchen, 1361 01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:09,240 Speaker 5: I just felt like I always feel like you're you're related, 1362 01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:11,559 Speaker 5: and that's it's addictive, and people go back for that 1363 01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:13,880 Speaker 5: and you get there. You get this rush from the 1364 01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:17,320 Speaker 5: service which you don't get from anything else except sports. 1365 01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 5: I imagine you get the same kind of rush. But yeah, no, 1366 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,759 Speaker 5: it's very addictive, and it's to get to that level, 1367 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:27,960 Speaker 5: it's very extremely satisfying. So I think that's what people 1368 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,800 Speaker 5: just keep going back to, keep getting up every morning for. 1369 01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:33,960 Speaker 3: When you're leading a kitchen like that, how important is 1370 01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:37,880 Speaker 3: it to have the people around you, so the people 1371 01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:40,200 Speaker 3: you're working with, your staff, who you can trust with 1372 01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:43,160 Speaker 3: the food. I mean, you obviously need to know that 1373 01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:46,160 Speaker 3: they're upward, that they're at the right standard. And I 1374 01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:50,479 Speaker 3: always thought, you know, particularly as restaurants I suppose like yours, 1375 01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:53,960 Speaker 3: but others and really rely on the chef's reputation. The 1376 01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:57,000 Speaker 3: chef's reputation really relies on the restaurants and everybody else do. 1377 01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:01,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, especially when you've got multiple restaurants like I do, 1378 01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:05,960 Speaker 5: it's so important to completely rely on the guy next 1379 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,960 Speaker 5: to you, the guy underneath him, and then so on. 1380 01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:12,400 Speaker 5: And it's yeah, to inspire them is the trick to 1381 01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,840 Speaker 5: keep them wanting to do amazing food for you all 1382 01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:17,920 Speaker 5: the time. That is the secret. I think you have 1383 01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,080 Speaker 5: to keep the guys inspired, keep them paid well, keep 1384 01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:23,760 Speaker 5: them keep them fresh as well. We've adopted a four 1385 01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,800 Speaker 5: to three day week for the guys because it does 1386 01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,360 Speaker 5: get tiring, so they're three days off and four days on, 1387 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:31,800 Speaker 5: and of those four days they got to work at 1388 01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:35,439 Speaker 5: least three doubles, so that's you know, twelve hours and 1389 01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:37,920 Speaker 5: a doubles thirty six and they work another half a 1390 01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:40,760 Speaker 5: half day somewhere, so they do get the time back. 1391 01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:43,120 Speaker 5: And that's how you got to do it. You just 1392 01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:46,680 Speaker 5: got to keep them motivated around you and comfortable and 1393 01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:49,360 Speaker 5: keep food on the table plus them. 1394 01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:54,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, have they been any particular big trends while you've 1395 01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,080 Speaker 3: been in the food business of the coloring business, I 1396 01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:59,599 Speaker 3: should call it? Do you see certain trends coming? I mean, 1397 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,599 Speaker 3: do you see them sort of being big and maybe 1398 01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:05,479 Speaker 3: in Britain in the nineties in London and not so 1399 01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:09,799 Speaker 3: big anymore. Different types of food, different ways of plating, 1400 01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:12,559 Speaker 3: the size of portions. I think that seems from what 1401 01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,880 Speaker 3: I from what I read, that's been a big change 1402 01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:16,080 Speaker 3: of the last ten years. 1403 01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:19,759 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, Novell Cuisine brought along the tasting menus 1404 01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:23,320 Speaker 5: and that was inspired from Japanese kaiseche. So it's not 1405 01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:25,479 Speaker 5: a new thing. It's been around a long time, just 1406 01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:27,679 Speaker 5: not here. But I think there is a big shift 1407 01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:31,720 Speaker 5: away from lung course menus, so tasting in the restaurants. 1408 01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:36,280 Speaker 5: People like choice, but I understand there's always going to 1409 01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,320 Speaker 5: be tasting in a restaurant. We've got one fine as 1410 01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:40,880 Speaker 5: a tasting in the restaurant because you know, we've got 1411 01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:42,920 Speaker 5: a story to tell there and we want people to 1412 01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,720 Speaker 5: experience the journey that we want to want want them 1413 01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:49,040 Speaker 5: on for the evening. But the other restaurants are Ali Kharte. 1414 01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:52,360 Speaker 5: You know, we've really decided that we could have done 1415 01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:55,519 Speaker 5: another tasting menu restaurant at param where we just opened. 1416 01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:58,519 Speaker 5: I thought, you know what, people people want bigger course, 1417 01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 5: bigger portions. They want to choose what they want to eat. 1418 01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:03,720 Speaker 5: If they want to come into one course, they're welcome to. 1419 01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:06,800 Speaker 5: I think that is a big shift. And also there's 1420 01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:12,519 Speaker 5: a shift towards more natural, natural cooking, lighter cooking using 1421 01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:14,920 Speaker 5: a lot of olive oils and yeah, I mean that's 1422 01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:18,040 Speaker 5: been around for fifteen years now, but there's a big 1423 01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:22,439 Speaker 5: push towards natural meat as well, very clean meats. And 1424 01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:25,760 Speaker 5: it's a big push also away from I've noticed a 1425 01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:30,280 Speaker 5: lot less vegans and vegetarians coming through the doors. Actually 1426 01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:33,080 Speaker 5: I'm not sure why that is, but you know, five six, 1427 01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,280 Speaker 5: seven years ago, there is a lot of vegetarians and 1428 01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:37,560 Speaker 5: vegans coming through, and a lot of there's also a 1429 01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:40,479 Speaker 5: lot of gluten allergies that we're coming through. But it's 1430 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:44,519 Speaker 5: kind of lighted up now recently, which I'm not sure when. 1431 01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:50,000 Speaker 5: Maybe it's a better quality grain why there's less gluten issues. Yeah, 1432 01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:53,040 Speaker 5: I'm not sure people are realizing the protein is important. 1433 01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:56,760 Speaker 3: Maybe, yeah, interesting, Sure, I have no idea. The first 1434 01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:59,519 Speaker 3: I've heard of it were speaking to Pizza Temple. Hop 1435 01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:02,800 Speaker 3: if like me, you're beginning to realize you haven't had 1436 01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,400 Speaker 3: your dinner, I'm ten minutes away from it. We'll return 1437 01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:06,160 Speaker 3: with him in a moment. 1438 01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:09,639 Speaker 15: The Money Show was Stephen Krutez is brought to you 1439 01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:14,320 Speaker 15: by ABSIR c IB proud Sole Leader Ranger and Infrastructure 1440 01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:18,160 Speaker 15: Finance Structuring Agent of the South African National Treasuries eleven 1441 01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:21,960 Speaker 15: point eight billion rare Infrastructure and Development Finance Bond. 1442 01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:26,719 Speaker 2: The Money Show, How I make my money? 1443 01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:29,599 Speaker 3: Speaking to Peter Temple, how the chef and of course 1444 01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:32,320 Speaker 3: you'll know him having won three Knives of the Best 1445 01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,880 Speaker 3: Chef Awards.

One of the things that 1447 01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:41,800 Speaker 3: I sort of grew up with and you and I 1448 01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:44,720 Speaker 3: are probably roughly similar ages. But when I first sort 1449 01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:46,639 Speaker 3: of thought about chefs was when we have the sort 1450 01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:48,920 Speaker 3: of wave of I don't know if I call them 1451 01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:53,920 Speaker 3: personality chefs, reality TV chefs, sort of famous people who 1452 01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:57,080 Speaker 3: are famous not just for being chefs, but for their personalities. 1453 01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:00,639 Speaker 3: This might be a strange question, but is that good 1454 01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:04,519 Speaker 3: for the quality of food? I get this an era 1455 01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:07,639 Speaker 3: of salesmanship about it. I mean, I have no problem 1456 01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:10,240 Speaker 3: with that, but gona sometimes get in the way of 1457 01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,120 Speaker 3: the food, you know, whatever this person has said to 1458 01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:12,639 Speaker 3: that person. 1459 01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:16,200 Speaker 5: I think it depends on how you structured your business. Stephen, 1460 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,479 Speaker 5: you can if you've structured in a way that it 1461 01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,040 Speaker 5: runs without you having to be there every day, then 1462 01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:24,879 Speaker 5: and you've really trusted people who are running at each establishment, 1463 01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:27,840 Speaker 5: then yes, it shouldn't really affect it. What it does 1464 01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,200 Speaker 5: do it just keeps people coming through your restaurant because 1465 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,519 Speaker 5: it's great marketing being on TV all the time and 1466 01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:36,560 Speaker 5: being a personality. So in a sense, yeah, And I 1467 01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:41,120 Speaker 5: don't know yet, I have not another chef like that, 1468 01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:44,320 Speaker 5: you know, I don't know if i'd want to be. 1469 01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:47,439 Speaker 5: Actually I've done a bit of TV in the past, 1470 01:15:47,479 --> 01:15:49,559 Speaker 5: but it's just not my thing. I like. I like 1471 01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:52,439 Speaker 5: being in the trenches with the guys and running things 1472 01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:55,040 Speaker 5: from behind the scenes a little bit. But who knows, 1473 01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,280 Speaker 5: you knows, there's a lot of fewyears left. 1474 01:15:57,439 --> 01:16:00,719 Speaker 3: No sure when things happen. Do you think a person's 1475 01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:05,719 Speaker 3: personality is reflected in how they cook? And I realized 1476 01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:07,720 Speaker 3: that might be a strange question, but do you think 1477 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:11,080 Speaker 3: you know, if your mood is X one day, does 1478 01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,280 Speaker 3: it affect how you cook? Maybe if you're just cooking 1479 01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,120 Speaker 3: for yourself, or does it? Do you know, does a 1480 01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:18,840 Speaker 3: person's personality come through in any way? 1481 01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:23,479 Speaker 5: Listen, your mood's definitely come through. When I fell in 1482 01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:26,640 Speaker 5: love with my wife, my flavor profile changed my I 1483 01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:30,960 Speaker 5: was more creative, and yeah, I definitely noticed it. I noticed, well, 1484 01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:35,240 Speaker 5: I'm more a lot more alive, and you know that's 1485 01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:37,600 Speaker 5: I've always been creative, but I just it's kind of 1486 01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:39,920 Speaker 5: just sparked it off. And yes, definitely, I've you know, 1487 01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:42,559 Speaker 5: I'm walking up with it after a dream and I've 1488 01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:44,800 Speaker 5: dreamt about addition, I've put it on and it works, 1489 01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,080 Speaker 5: and so yeah, it's definitely if you're in a bad 1490 01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:50,960 Speaker 5: place in your life as well, it definitely will hampers creativity. 1491 01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:53,400 Speaker 5: It stifles you know, a lot of things you do, 1492 01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,400 Speaker 5: and you know it doesn't give it energy you need 1493 01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,000 Speaker 5: And yeah, you need a lot of energy in the kitchen. 1494 01:16:58,000 --> 01:16:59,920 Speaker 5: You need to your energy needs to be an affection 1495 01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:02,160 Speaker 5: to the volve, to your your staff around you, and 1496 01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:06,240 Speaker 5: you need to be positive. So yeah, for sure, absolutely, Peter. 1497 01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:07,880 Speaker 3: I don't know if you can just move around and 1498 01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:09,960 Speaker 3: try and improve the reception on your cell phone a 1499 01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:14,480 Speaker 3: little bit. Sure, I am presuming so I'm not a perfectionist. 1500 01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:16,800 Speaker 3: And we were talking to someone earlier about business books 1501 01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:18,400 Speaker 3: who was saying, one of the lessons from a book 1502 01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,320 Speaker 3: is is instead of you know, being a perfectionist in business, 1503 01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:24,840 Speaker 3: people want progress. But I wonder if your game, what 1504 01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,719 Speaker 3: you do, is actually quite different and actually perfection really 1505 01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:28,519 Speaker 3: really matters. 1506 01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:31,720 Speaker 5: Oh, without a doubt. It's the small margins, you know, 1507 01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:35,879 Speaker 5: there's there's incremental gains. They make such a big difference. 1508 01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:38,920 Speaker 5: It's that difference between ninety five percent. That's what I'm 1509 01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:41,679 Speaker 5: looking for, and I'm looking for is this thing out 1510 01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:45,360 Speaker 5: of line by a meter or a centimeter? That's you know, 1511 01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:48,439 Speaker 5: that definitely makes a difference, especially when you're talking about 1512 01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:53,519 Speaker 5: the high end of cooking. Yeah, the flavors as well, 1513 01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:56,600 Speaker 5: you know, and a gram of salt, too much, a 1514 01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,639 Speaker 5: you know, too many drops of lemon makes a big difference. 1515 01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:02,679 Speaker 5: So yeah, it's and that's what we're searching for. That 1516 01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,439 Speaker 5: that perfection or as close to the perfection as we 1517 01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,000 Speaker 5: can get. We'll never reach it, but you know, we've 1518 01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,080 Speaker 5: got to stry for it every day. That's where we 1519 01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,080 Speaker 5: come up. You know, we get into the kitchen, we 1520 01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,360 Speaker 5: get our knives out, and we cook every day to 1521 01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:16,439 Speaker 5: reach it every day, and although we're doing the same 1522 01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:18,479 Speaker 5: things over and over, we try to be better the 1523 01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:22,320 Speaker 5: next day than we were yesterday. So yes, definitely. 1524 01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,280 Speaker 3: You're moving and you've moved and you sort of led 1525 01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:29,040 Speaker 3: the way really into sort of Afro Japanese cuisine, and 1526 01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:31,040 Speaker 3: I think for a lot of people it's not something 1527 01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:34,360 Speaker 3: that's entirely predictable. Was there a particular place you got 1528 01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:35,080 Speaker 3: that inspiration? 1529 01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:38,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, so Faine, when we when we launched our launched Fain, 1530 01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,479 Speaker 5: the idea was there was a there was a gap 1531 01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:45,280 Speaker 5: in the market for something like this. But most importantly 1532 01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:48,679 Speaker 5: is something that I was really passionate about and I 1533 01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:51,600 Speaker 5: was really determined to make it work. I knew I 1534 01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:55,439 Speaker 5: mean I love Japanese food from a youngster. There was 1535 01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:57,640 Speaker 5: something about I think South Africans do we love that 1536 01:18:57,720 --> 01:18:59,679 Speaker 5: in Miami reach all of us love a bit of sushi, 1537 01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:03,000 Speaker 5: you know. There's something about those flavors and the exoticness 1538 01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,680 Speaker 5: of it that we like. And my first trip to 1539 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:07,800 Speaker 5: Japan in two thousand and eight, I realized, Wow, this 1540 01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:09,240 Speaker 5: is what I want to do. And it wasn't for 1541 01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:11,559 Speaker 5: another ten years of working with these ingredients and trying 1542 01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:14,080 Speaker 5: to understand them more and the culture that I decided 1543 01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:17,320 Speaker 5: to is for me the next step. But I don't 1544 01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:18,960 Speaker 5: want to lose a sense of place. I don't want 1545 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:21,400 Speaker 5: to lose that I'm standing and we're sitting in a 1546 01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:25,800 Speaker 5: restaurant in South Africa eating I don't want eat Japanese food. 1547 01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:28,439 Speaker 5: I had to blend the two carefully. I think the 1548 01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:33,160 Speaker 5: results are quite incredible because it was excuse me, it 1549 01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:37,760 Speaker 5: was blend. It was the refine, refined style of Japanese 1550 01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:41,880 Speaker 5: cooking with our African, rugged African ingredients. There's something about 1551 01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:44,559 Speaker 5: it that just resonated with all the guests, Like I 1552 01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:47,559 Speaker 5: think there's something that caps On is ready for and 1553 01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:49,280 Speaker 5: that's why the works. So I was in the city 1554 01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:51,439 Speaker 5: there's not a lot of options for high end in 1555 01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:55,080 Speaker 5: the city. There's some great restaurants, and because we're close 1556 01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:58,519 Speaker 5: to the hotels and also wear a quirky old silk 1557 01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:01,439 Speaker 5: factory and in the east side of town it's on 1558 01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:03,559 Speaker 5: a dodgy street. I think there's a bit of an 1559 01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:06,120 Speaker 5: allure about that. You know, you come into what shouldn't 1560 01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,320 Speaker 5: be a great restaurant, but you take another of it. 1561 01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:10,760 Speaker 5: It's the top floor and it takes you into kind 1562 01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:15,280 Speaker 5: of Manhattan, Manhattan or Tokyo. So yeah, there's something that's 1563 01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:17,320 Speaker 5: why people people love it because of that, you know, 1564 01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:21,240 Speaker 5: because fain Is is a very different place and which have 1565 01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:22,840 Speaker 5: to do the same with the other restaurants. We don't 1566 01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:26,200 Speaker 5: want a carbon coffy restaurants. So Beyond is celebrating the 1567 01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:29,479 Speaker 5: wine estate that it's on, like in every single way. 1568 01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:31,680 Speaker 5: Can it's got the vineyard views, and then Ara and 1569 01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:33,519 Speaker 5: the new one. We're just kind of bring the farm animals. 1570 01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,559 Speaker 5: So they're each so unique offerings and even the ramen 1571 01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:40,519 Speaker 5: head and Sushia. You know, it's my love for Japanese 1572 01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,320 Speaker 5: streets food that's coming through so each of our restaurants. 1573 01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:45,400 Speaker 5: Although there are a group of six restaurants. They're they're 1574 01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:48,639 Speaker 5: all so very different, which makes it very difficult to manage. 1575 01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:52,519 Speaker 5: That people could worsh out the average spends and you know, 1576 01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:54,600 Speaker 5: because they're also different, about a chain of six of 1577 01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:56,920 Speaker 5: the same restaurants will be so easy, you know, But 1578 01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:57,920 Speaker 5: I do like a challenge. 1579 01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:00,519 Speaker 3: No, Well, I can hear that these are wonderful to 1580 01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:02,920 Speaker 3: talk to you.
