JSE-listed mining shares have taken an awful hiding since March, with a number having lost as much as half their value. But that's a buy signal for South Africa's top performing money manager, Piet Viljoen, who manages the Counterpoint Value Fund.

Viljoen is a favourite among the BizNews community and at next month's event becomes the only speaker to deliver a keynote address at all of the BizNews Conferences at the Champagne Sports Resort in the Drakensberg.
