Market Analyst Devlin Edwards, Certified Financial Planner, and Director at Resolute Wealth Management provided commentary on the weakness of the Rand, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange supported by a weaker currency, and the US Federal Reserve looking to start tapering the country’s monetary policy in September. In the second half of the programme at 18h30, Glenn chaired a one-hour discussion on the weekly topic, namely "Corporate Social Investments" with guests Kevin Welman, Managing Director at Fleishman Hillard; Helene Perold, Founder and CEO of Volunteer and Service Enquiry Southern Africa; Nikki Griffiths, Executive of Operations at Tshikululu; Nancy Gaylard, Training Manager at the Protea Hotel Balalaika with commentary by Geraldine Engelman, Corporate Social Investment Manager at Ster-Kinekor; and Kieron McCrae, Area Manager at the deVere Group.
