Two citizen activists, two of the country's best money managers, a chartered accounting whistleblower, an entrepreneur turning an iconic SA brand into a world beater plus the best cell phone network - lots of variety and insights in this episode of Rational Radio. Guests on the show were:
Oscar Phoku, CEO of Milestone Proeprty, which successfully sued the CCMA after the State organ reneged on a R100m deal to lease 1 Heerengracht in Cape town;
Ace money manager Jean Pierre Verster who explains how Abil pref shareholders got screwed; what Naspers shareholders should do to avoid a big tax bill; and a sober assessment of bombed out SA property stocks;
The story of citizen activist Jaun Lerena who seven years ago blew the whistle on a couple of market abusing multinationals - one has admitted liability and paid a R35m fine; Dutch group Unilever gets its day in the spotlight on Friday;
The Veldskoen Story with Nick Dreyer, co-founder of the company which attracted a 49% investment from SA entrepreneurial giant Brian Joffe's vehicle Long4Life;  
MyBroadband editor Marius Hollenbach who explains the site's research project which concluded that the title of SA's better connection belongs once more to MTN;     
SA's favourite market commentator David Shapiro is back home from his adventure in New York and reckons the best move on Naspers is to take the capital gains tax burden now - and save paying more later;
And we close off a cracking show with Tongaat whistleblower, chartered accountant Dave Woollam, who assesses some conspiracy theories, gives us an update on the embattled sugar company and provides insights into how the UK's Brydon Commission will change the auditing profession (and investing).
