BNC#9 | Van Heerden Q&A: Afrimat's Lafarge bet, fixing SA towns, untapped gold, Transnet turnaround
Loading player...
Afrimat's Andries van Heerden bought a struggling cement business for its quarries, not its cement, and is now watching a Chinese buyer take on the part he didn't want. In this Q&A from BNC#9, he tells Alec Hogg what actually scares him in a takeover, why Transnet's turnaround is the best he's seen in years, and why he still won't chase lithium at today's price. Along the way: fixing a Free State town without handing over a cent, the gold South Africa has left in the ground since 1886, and why doing business with Chinese contractors is a lesson his own team is still learning.
