BNC#6: Entrepreneurial giant Christo Wiese urges perspective, rationality 

Hugely successful entrepeneurs all have one thing in common - they see the glass as half full & not half empty.

WOW WHAT A POSITIVE SPEECH POLITICIANS LEARN FROM THIS SPEECH AND STOP SPEAKING FEAR INTO OUR NATION

Thank you Alec for the guests, it's not everyday that you get to hear a well established South African businessman speak his mind❤❤🇿🇦🇿🇦

Many thanks for this sir! This world is in a turmoil. Sometimes people don't realize this. Your words are honest and correct ! We have a failed govt, not a failed state. May God bless this beautiful country!

Christo needs to offer free masterclasses to all our political leaders. Extremely wise and pleasure to listen to

Great speech indeed. It's been a while since I felt ok about our country. Wisdom

What a visionary. Always looking for opportunities and growth. I agree, South Africans are great. We should focus on where we can do the best.

What a wise African man ,respect

If Mr. Christo Wiese become a politician outside the FF+, DA, ANC, EF, PA, BOSA, and many more, i will simply vote for him. This guy is true leader who seem to have the interest for all the South African in heart. I love this gentleman.

Much respect from Mr Christo Wiese. Im very inspired about his philosophy on sustainable development amd the legacy we have built Under the Sun...God bless your hard work and wisdom , under the Sun Leadership

I really needed to hear this frim an exceptional person! ❤

I love you grandpa you have created big company that has given people hope to wake up

Great speech by a great South African. Those who made their comments here under simply do NOT know him !!!! After 53 years of friendship with uncountable discussions at the dinner table our night time walking alon Victoria Road this man is to be belitteld and has shown his loyalty to South Africa and our people!!!! He worked hard since teenage years and did NOT need any uncosher income so BACK OFF and inform yourself !!!

Thanks for the unbiasness talk. We really appreciate true and straight talkers like you, sir. I salute you.

He's a great man, but like all BIG business they are NOT willing to to put their neck out! Why NOT speak out about the failures of the ANC? Too scared!

My Hero😃🙌🏽

Balanced and Sound speech

He is a ‘wise grandfather’ whose thoughts we should learn from.

He is that Uncle who never shies away from squeezing in a dry awkward joke there and there 😅😆

Great address. Enjoyed the global perspective.

15:37 “Big battle over a foot bath... Rob Hersov decided to drop the threatened injunction” What the hell???

Did the farmer take his millions to London in a suitcase? Will he bring it back.

Respect. I share his view

Your guest Reminds me of the song "If I were a Rich Man" ..... 😂 Christo's own parallel reality indeed, describing SA as an Eden. Makes me wonder exactly Why this misplaced optimism ???

This viewpoint is unrealistic, biased toward the failing govt, sidestepping the True Realities in SA. E.g. he is saying EWC and ret should be aimed at the govt itself. 🎉 Money clearly speak the loudest in SA.

Very well said

I would love to meet him and take part in a discussion. I believe the discussion would leave me with a better view and understanding of business.

Stats mean little if not put into context…quality always overrides quantity !

I have always enjoyed listening to Christo Wiese wisdom and guidance.

There are so many aspiring entrepreneurs waiting that waiting in the wings to take this country forward. Provide the environment from government and we will see some amazing things.

Every State Owned Business should be privately owned 😅

Julius malema vindicated again from the captain of the industry💪💪💪💪

Lets hope.

Atlist u agree with malema 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉on lsnd

Not a lot of European South Africans hating on the man for speaking truth.

i wish business leaders would start leading, instead of enrishing themselves..

Rational minds have prevailed!

This is how a leader analysis and speaks.

Baie interessante aanbieding.

Leave a lasting legacy Christo, donate to the Western Cape independence movement.

Mr. Wiese for President. He is a true patriot & successful businessman. He gives hope when people are hopeless. He knows what he is talking about. Hats off to this wonderful individual.

Interesting ✅✅✅

Great speech

Brilliant thanks ❤ Real leadership on a rational basis Unlock the land and allow all to live colourful ❤

Excellent contribution. Thank you.

Food for thought and implementation.

Very encouraging........

You get my vote ❤

Says he who bankrolls the anc.

Checkers is now more expensive than WOOLWORTHS, SPAR AND PICK N PAY.

Can we please have these Bosses on other Potcast

Tell them

The one question I had listening to this speech is what actually pre-occupies a Billionaire's mind on a daily? Esp at this age. Must be interesting.

Davos Season 10 - the Hermanus Sessions. Let’s hope Wiese’s pollyana analysis isn’t a figment of his imagination.

Isn't this the same oke who is was an Executive Director of Steinhof yet claims he didnt know what Jooste was up to?? Isnt it his fiduciary responsibility to know what's going on in the company of which he is an Executive Director?

Africa's fast growing population will only be cause for more cheap labour & exploitation, not such a good thing. Also Africa's population is fast becoming educated (or at least should be) towards FAMILY PLANNING, before it's too late. The WHO & UN should be working hard at FAMILY PLANNING in Africa in place of free AID, causing poor people to simply have MORE children...a disastrous cycle of desperation & exploitation.

Thank you sir, for a truly insightful, inspirational and valuable speech. (Note: The FMF statement in terms of title deed handover is, unfortunately and sadly, more complicated than what was explained to you.)

NOT To Be BELITTLED sorry sorry typo

♥

Who is the " godfather" of stellenbosch? His biggest mistake,mj cost so many so much,zar200billion in a few days,must have been very hurting ,he survived.what a man.

Funny even the billionaires are clamoring like rats up and down left and right on the sinking ship

I'm sorry, but nothing tells me that a person has no clue what he's talking about more, than someone who blames our problems on the electoral system, and who thinks that throwing independent candidates into the mix is a good thing. That is probably the most dangerous, and damaging thing you can do to this country, even worse than what the ANC has done. The proportional electoral system is the very reason why we have a realistic hope that the ANC can be unseated. The proportional system means that we are not forced into a choice of the lesser of two evils, like in Zimbabwe, and we actually get to vote _for_ something we believe in. Together, all these factions adds up. But adding individuals to the proportional system will distort the proportionality, most likely in favor of the ANC. And why would you want to vote for an individual anyway? Look at the election results on municipal level, no one cares about the individuals, they vote for a brand. And that _should_ be the way it works, because politics is a team sport. If you can't even organize a party of people around you to support you in the election, and later in parliament, why should you even be on the ballet? We already have many parties in parliament with only one or two seats, and what difference do they make? Now we want to open the door for mickey mouse individuals who are even less relevant than the mickey mouse parties - who are usually build around an individual anyway. Seriously, you don't change the rules of the game when you are about to win. The inclusion of independent candidates into the electoral process is the most silly, most dangerous, most short sighted and ignorant thing that anyone could've forced onto South Africa. I hope these independents get the beating they deserve, and we put this silliness behind us as a country.

I agree with Mr Wiese. It's cadre deployment + a lack of political accountability (system of not having direct representation for constituencies), that is the problem.

This guy must spend a lot of time overseas ! has absolutely no clue about the state of south africa! Zero substance

U r a Rainbow nation not only White nd Black please do not forget or leave out the Coloureds who are children of the United Nations.

Sensible panalists, thank you. At last the Gayton McKenzie fascination had run its course.

Great speech - by a not so great man. It filled with too much hypocrisy. he is talking about himself as the bad guy but doesnt want to come out and say it. too much diplomacy when we need action and clear stance on what is wrong so we can fix it.

He talks shit, perspective he talks about, load of shit

Wow, now this is the type of leadership we desperately need, not the likes of John Steenhuisen

Let this be known we aboriginal people wamt the land and all that was stolen by the foreigners to be returned

What a pathetic speech.

We want Gaytons interview please
