Chris Logan: Where Tongaat has gone, Hulamin, Nampak are following.

Back in 2014, independent money manager Chris Logan spoke out publicly against the strategy being followed by KZN's leading company, Tongaat Hulett. He urged the board and executives to drop their approach of selling off prime commercial real estate to pump the cash into the sugar sector - an area Logan reckoned was the worst commodity to bet on. In this episode of Rational Radio he describes what happened as a tragedy; had those controlling the purse strings pursued a different strategy, Tongaat would still be a flourishing business. Logan has similar misgivings about Hulamin and Nampak, companies that he reckons are also guilty of massive mis-allocation of capital. - Alec Hogg
