Well-known South African technology entrepreneur Stafford Masie is one of the key backers behind an audacious bid to buy a stake of up to 40% in the South African Rugby Union (Saru)-owned entity that owns the commercial rights to the Springboks brand. Masie, who chairs JSE-listed Altvest Capital – a key player in the consortium making the bid – joins the TechCentral Show with Altvest CEO Warren Wheatley to unpack the plan and what spurred it, and to explain why tech is central to the bid. The bid comes after member unions of SA Rugby last week rejected a plan to sell a 20% in the commercial rightsholder to US-based Ackerley Sports Group for US$75-million. Ackerley has until the end of the year to submit a revised offer, but Wheatley and Masie told TechCentral that they do not expect a deal with the American firm will succeed. The South African consortium is made up of Altvest as well as EasyEquities, RainFin and 27four Investment Managers. In a statement, the consortium explained that if its bid is successful, it will list the special purpose vehicle that has been created to do the deal on the JSE and allow investors to buy shares. This is not dissimilar to Altvest's business model, which sees it taking stakes in companies on behalf of public shareholders who participate in the economic benefits thereof. “Worth thinking about for the tech community is that our platform allows for ‘crowdfunding' in a regulated environment that allows for participation in a funding round to anybody with disposable income – from first-time users or customers, all the way through to regulated institutions and pension funds,” Wheatley explained. In this episode of TCS, Masie and Wheatley unpack: • The background to their consortium's Springboks bid – and why the consortium members came together; • How the bidders will work with SA Rugby to commercialise the rights, assuming their bid is successful; • How the deal could affect broadcast partners; and • Why they believe the deal could be used as a platform for technology innovation in South Africa. It's an interesting discussion – don't miss it! TechCentral

We're joined again by Siyabulela Nomoyi, Quantitative Portfolio Manager at Satrix, to explain how to read and understand fund factsheets.It may look intimidating, but a fund factsheet/MDD (Minimum Disclosure Document) is the key information document for exchange traded funds (ETFs), unit trusts, and other types of funds.Siya breaks it down, covering different aspects to look out for such as fund performance, fees, dividends, and other components.But this episode isn't just about translating paper.

Karl Gevers, independent analyst, takes a look at the latest Telkom and Shoprite updates. Charles Savage of Purple Group on the company's results that show EasyEquities remains profitable with strong growth.

Charles Savage first thought about EasyEquities while on the beach in Mozambique nearly 10 years ago. His relationship with the beach and surfing is well developed and it's unsurprising that the epiphany happened there. He learned to surf in the wild Atlantic surf spots in Cape Town as a youth. After completing a finance degree combined with an IT major at the University of Cape Town, Charles and his friend went on a global surf tour for 18 months. In this episode, Alex and Charles discuss surfing, the internet, commerce, creativity, and flexibility. A central theme in Charles's success has been to harness his flexibility and allow opportunities that present themselves to unfold. The success of EasyEquities (EE), a subsidiary of JSE listed Purple Group Limited (PPE), has been built on being flexible. Just when they thought the development work was complete, they were thrown a curveball and needed to get back to the drawing board. EasyEquitiesis an online platform that allows anyone to buy shares in the brands and companies they love. For as little as R5, $10, or whatever amount they have available to invest (with no monthly brokerage fees) newbies and seasoned investors alike can grow their wealth.EasyEquities aims to disrupt and remove the barriers to entry in local and international stock markets, making the purchase of shares easy, cheap, and fun, and ensuring that anyone can own shares in the companies they love.Please enjoy this conversation and remember to reach out via social media channels with your questions and send me your comments.ALEX MACPHAILEmail: alex@alexmacphail.co.za Twitter: https://twitter.com/AlexMacPhail1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexmacphail99 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/flyingmogul YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCztTx1LzCAnC4woeNOpU5-A Website: http://www.alexmacphail.co.za Alex MacPhail Podcast - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/highperformanceteams/CHARLES SAVAGELinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charleshsavage/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CharlesHSavage Website: http://www.easyequities.co.za
