Magic Markets Ep62: Afrimat – a track record as Hotazel

Magic Markets2022-02-10T01:16:14+02:00

With a share price and earnings track record that puts most companies to shame, Afrimat is widely regarded as a company with excellent capital allocation discipline and focused strategic execution.Starting in the construction industry, Afrimat has evolved into a strong mid-tier miner. Afrimat’s secret lies in owning a diversified portfolio of counter-cyclical businesses.

A conservative approach to the balance sheet has also been key to success.In Episode 62 of Magic Markets, we welcomed Afrimat CEO and founder Andries van Heerden to [...]

In Episode 54 of Magic Markets, there’s a new variant in town. And that means that the gap between the haves and the have-nots will just get bigger. As the world decided to ostracise South Africa instead of supporting the country, it was another reminder of how this virus has widened the wealth gap. As unemployment in South Africa keeps increasing, we highlight a scary statistic out of Standard Bank: unsecured lending has returned to pre-Covid levels, but asset-based lending hasn’t. In a discussion that touches on a wide variety of points, ranging from office vacancies to the tourism industry, the [...]
