Bernard Swanepoel, Alec Hogg: How to help small business SURVIVE Covid-19 war

Loading player...
Small Business Institute executive director Bernard Swanepoel, perhaps best known for his former role as CEO of Harmony Gold - which he built up from a small gold producer to one of the world's largest - is on the boards of a number of South African mining companies, including Impala Platinum and African Rainbow Minerals. He is also the co-founder of his own small business, a specialist strategy consultancy THINKspiration, and a partner at To-The-Point Growth Specialists. In this podcast, Swanepoel speaks to BizNews editor-in-chief Alec Hogg - a media entrepreneur who founded Moneyweb and BizNews - about how small business can survive the onslaught of the Covid-19 virus, which he describes as a war on the economy. Swanepoel reminds us that there is not enough money for government to help everyone, so we should all do as much as we can to keep small businesses around us afloat as the coronavirus washes over the world. - Jackie Cameron Learn more about your ad choices.
