Piet Viljoen returned to the BizNews Power Hour as co-host today. The Counterpoint value fund manager told BizNews two weeks ago that ‘investing in South African residential property doesn't make sense'. Viljoen elaborated on that perspective today, stating that ‘equity is a much better asset class to own for building wealth over the long term than property.' When asked about stocks which have caught his eye lately, Viljoen made an insightful analogy between a portfolio and twigs; ‘Each individual stock is a twig, quite a brittle, easy to break twig - but if you bundle them together and tie them together, it creates quite a strong element.' Another topic of discussion was lockdown, particularly with reference to the restaurant industry.

Better supply chains, operation efficiency, payment infrastructures, bookkeeping, etc. This was reflected through the episodes we did with Udaan from India, Telio from Vietnam, and Shihuituan from China. On today's episode, you will hear a conversation we had with one of the startups that are doing this in Indonesia. The first half of the show was recorded in September last year. But we also caught up with the founder a few weeks earlier on how COVID has changed how he saw the business, enjoy!
