Tekkie Town's Bernard Mostert: Explaining settlement that delighted Steinhoff shareholders (and doubled the share price)

Loading player...
After four years of litigation, the former owners of Tekkie Town have reached a R1.2bn deal with Steinhoff, opening the way to a credible future for the massively defrauded business. Three weeks ago, before talks between the parties began, Steinhoff shares traded at 180c. Since news of the deal broke on Wednesday, the price has rocketed to 330c.

In this fascinating podcast, Tekkie Town's former CEO explains the why's, what's and when's in conversation with BizNews founder Alec Hogg. Learn more about your ad choices.
