Ninety-One Feature

from Afternoon Drive with John Maytham Hosted by CapeTalk

South Africa's economic outlook is presenting something of a mixed picture. Rising oil prices, inflation concerns and higher interest rates are putting pressure on households and businesses. Yet, at the same time, the country's finances are showing signs of improvement, with government borrowing less and the bond market responding positively. So, how do these contrasting developments fit together, and what do they mean for investors? Joining us to unpack the bigger picture is James Turp, Portfolio Manager at Ninety-One. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists. A daily highlight is Rapid Fire, just after 5:30pm. CapeTalk fans call in, to stump the presenter with their general knowledge questions. Another firm favourite is the humorous Thursday crossing with award-winning journalist Rebecca Davis, called “Plan B”.
