Emerging sector champions Gerrie Fourie, GG Alcock answer the hand-wringing “30% unemployment” question

Derangement describes the detached armchair observers who judge those in the arena. Capitec CEO Gerrie Fourie and Kasinomics author GG Alcock have had their fill of these critics - and explain why to BizNews editor Alec Hogg in this forthright interview about the unappreciated slug of South Africa’s economy. The two champions of SA’s Emerging Sector explain why the official data is badly wrong - and how the country’s unemployment rate is closer to 10% than the widely quoted 30%. Hitting back at the hand-wringers with a message of hope - and reality.
