Hersov at BNIC#2: SA ‘uninvestable under ANC’ — invest in gold, Bitcoin, AI, tourism, and the Cape

South African entrepreneur and outspoken capitalist activist Rob Hersov brought BizNews Investment Conference #2 in Hermanus to a fiery close with his trademark no-holds-barred critique of the ANC. Declaring that South Africa is “uninvestable under ANC rule”, Hersov warned that continued investment amounts to gambling with the future. He traced the country’s economic decline since 2008, citing failed governance, deindustrialisation, and a debt spiral. Yet, Hersov also outlined where he sees opportunity — gold, Bitcoin, AI ventures, tourism, and Western Cape property. Mixing hard economics with sharp rhetoric, he vowed to keep up pressure on the ANC “until the barbarians leave the gate,” while also calling for South Africa’s business and political elites to once again forge a path forward, as they did in the 1980s.
