In this fascinating podcast with BizNews founder Alec Hogg, he also revisits his property journey, explaining how lessons from mistakes that cost him big at his now famous Hartebeespoortdam disaster helped him make excellent returns in other carefully selected areas. While Heystek is still keen on some property developments in SA, he warns that returns are likely to be modest - and incomparable to the fortunes made during the 2002 to 2008 boom.
