Neal Froneman - Hersov is right; SA Govt can take leaf out of Sibanye book, urgently address Good, Bad and Ugly.

A cracking interview with Sibanye Stillwater's founding and still current CEO Neal Froneman, who believes political correctness is for the insincere - especially in the South African context. In this fascinating half hour he explains why the solution to SA's fraught labour relations lies in "share value" and "stakeholder capitalism" rather than confrontation with "increasingly irrelevant" trades union. Froneman also explains why he supports Rob Hersov's forthright message expressed at BNC#4, shares his view of what is urgently needed for SA Inc to effect a turnaround, and the impact of a sanctioned Russia for platinum and palladium, where Sibanye is a major player. He spoke to Alec Hogg of BizNews. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
