As is customary for a Tuesday, 10X Investments founder Steven Nathan talks all things company related on a busy day for JSE-listed counters. Heavyweights Naspers and Prosus announced the acquisition of Indian payments Gateway firm BillDesk for R70bn.

Other talking points include results from a variety of JSE companies, namely - Harmony Gold, ADvTECH and Old Mutual. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
