The Monday Noontime webinar is the only weekly webinar hosted by BizNews founder Alec Hogg, with SA's favourite market commentator David Shapiro as the regular guest. In this episode, they are joined by Gavin Hudson, CEO of Tongaat Hulett, KZN's venerable sugar and property group which had some really good news last week when the R5bn sale of its starch operations was confirmed - despite last minute seller's remorse from purchasers Barloworld. Our guest investment analyst was veteran asset manager and shareholder activist Chris Logan of Opportune.
This week, Tongaat said it expects to swing to an interim headline profit of as much as R189 million rand driven by a turnaround at its local operations. The announcement sent the sugar producer’s shares higher on the Johannesburg stock exchange. - Jarryd Neves & Jackie Cameron Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
