Asset Owners Forum

Loading player...
Speaking to two CEO’s recently Dominic Sewela of Barloworld and Roland Van Wijnen of PPC, it’s clear that our grand infrastructure plans are still stuck in 1st gear.
Predictably, President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan placed a grand R1 trillion infrastructure plan (leveraging up to R660bn of ‘crowded in’ private sector capital, or so it is hoped) at the centre.
But plans are wearing thin and only execution matters at this late stage to pull South Africa back from the brink of failed statehood.
We recently saw the launch of the Asset Owners Forum South Africa, which seemed to pass without much fanfare
To find out what this means and whether this will get our stalled infrastructure programme out of 1st gear Michael Avery is joined by Ndabezinhle Mkhize, Chief Investment Officer; Eskom Pension & Provident Fund, Chair of the Asset Owners Forum South Africa & Emile Du Toit, MD: Fund Raising and Liabilities Management at Harith General Partners
