BPH: The case FOR (Gore) and AGAINST (Sakeliga) mandatory vaccination; Heystek invests in Bitcoin; Major's 2022 stocks

Loading player...
Powerful arguments both for and against mandatory vaccinations featured in this episode of the BizNews Power Hour. In one corner is Discovery CEO Adrian Gore who argues that with SA now into the Fourth Wave of the pandemic, saving lives should be the national priority and as vaccines do this, jabs are a priority. On the other side are Sakeliga's Piet le Roux and Russell Lamberti who argue that forcing vaccines is disproportionate and unsuitable - and would put SA onto a slippery slope towards centralised control and authoritarianism. Also in this episode of BPH, Magnus Heystek references the BizNews Share portfolio's outperformance to prove his long stressed point promoting offshore investment - and Peter Major is so worried about commodity shares that he cannot find one to recommend for 2022.
