BizNews Edge: Alec Hogg weighs in on DiData, answers questions on ABC/Altvest

One of the Campus Six has cracked. Jason Goodall, former chief executive of Dimension Data and NTT, signs a statement naming four former colleagues and agrees to pay NTT R208.6 million. In a special BizNews Edge, Alec Hogg reads the private WhatsApp Goodall sent those same colleagues on the day he settled, puts the four’s detailed reply on the record, and asks why a man would pay that much to say something untrue. Paul Hoffman SC explains why the appeal court may never consider the statement at all. Alec then turns to Africa Bitcoin Corporation, formerly Altvest, where the board has publicly opposed its own controlling shareholder. And he answers the questions put to him on social media: how BizNews came to own shares in the company, why it hasn’t sold them, and the disclosure he admits he should have made.
