Major also gives credit to the resource counters management, stating that this is the most disciplined the management teams have been since he got to South Africa in 1982. Lastly, BizNews founder Alec Hogg and Major talk about the imminent corporate action with BHP Billiton's petroleum unit, which is a significant contributor to the bottom line of one of the world's largest mining companies.
