Safari's township focus on sweet spots attracts rave reviews from property investors

In this special podcast, Safari Investments CEO Francois Marais explains the unique strategy which has money managers excited about his company - despite their cautious approach to the sector in general. Safari was a pioneer in township retail shopping centres and is now in the process of building its third Attridgeville mall, complementing others in Sebokeng and Mamelodi. Marais has also tied up with old pal Cal Grillenberger's Advance Health to build Safari's first day clinic in Soweto. Add in the unique waterfront project in Swakopmund and it's no surprise to hear money managers are keen to invest hundreds of millions in fresh capital through a private share placement now being conducted by the company.
