If you are a new investor on the JSE, there is a good chance you own Sasol. It’s a household name, it feels safe, and when it’s good, it’s great. But when it’s bad? It’s devastating.

In this video, I break down why Sasol’s extreme volatility (swinging from R53 to R129!) makes it a dangerous "first love" for beginners. We look at the recent "good news" trap like the destoning plant and fuel volumes—and why the underlying reality of the chemicals business and gas shortages might just break your heart again.

Most importantly, I explain why you need to stop treating your stocks like family and start acting like a ruthless CEO. It’s time to fire the underperformers.

In a world obsessed with instant gratification and chasing the next big thing, the quiet power of time remains the most underrated investment advantage. In this episode, we explore why starting early, no matter how small the amount, can be the deciding factor between financial freedom and future uncertainty.

In this episode, I sit down with Sisa Nkatu to unpack the topic of Wisdom & Wealth. There is a common belief among many South Africans that if you didn't start early, the opportunity to build wealth has passed. We are here to challenge that myth.

The truth is, starting late does not mean finishing last. With people living longer, healthier lives, the timeline for wealth creation has shifted. Whether you are in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or approaching retirement, you can still create stability, grow your investments, and secure a rewarding future with the right mindset and strategy.
