The Monday Noontime Rational Radio webinar is held weekly from noon to 1pm, hosted by Biznews founder Alec Hogg, with SA's favourite market commentator David Shapiro as the regular guest. There are three other panelists, each of whom enjoy the spotlight for 15 minutes, discussing their topic with Alec and David, and answering questions posed by attendees.
Apart from David, this week's webinar also featured:
* Shayne Krige of PANDA - Director at Werksmans and member of PANDA, the independent group of actuaries and professionals, on the latest mortality numbers for South Africa and the Press Council complaint lodged by Prof Boulle of UCT, who wants Biznews to apologise for publishing PANDA's supplied articles.
* Rob Rose, editor of Financial Mail, who spent part of his weekend working through Judge Sunet Potterill's 54 page judgement lashing basic education minister Angie Motshekga and eight provincial education heads who froze the feeding scheme for 9m children. Rose described this as "the most shameful moment of SA's lockdown."
* Johann van Loggerenberg the former head of investigations at SARS was the only African invited to participate in a Euromonitor Round Table on Illicit Trade in a Covid-19 Era with none other experts from around the world. The conclusions were shocking - Johann shared them with us and provided insights into how the cigarette and alcohol bans are giving billions to organised crime in SA too.
