  South Africa stands at the edge of a precipice. Almost thirty years after its first democratic election, poor policy and rampant corruption have left the country standing on the brink of becoming a failed state.
  In this thought-provoking book, Bronwyn Williams and Ludwig Raal interview a diverse group of public intellectuals, business leaders and political mavericks to discuss tangible ways South Africa can rescue itself from itself. Through a series of illuminating conversations, a group of independent thinkers explore the root causes of South Africa's problems and offer insightful and radical ways to solve them.
  From addressing land reform and economic development to rooting out corruption and overhauling political institutions, the conversations in this book come together as a roadmap towards a better South Africa that leaves no one behind. While the challenges facing the young democracy are immense, these experts provide hope and inspiration towards productive actions that we can take together to build a brighter future.
  For anyone interested in understanding the complex issues facing South Africa today and how they can be addressed, Rescuing Our Republic is essential reading. It is a powerful reminder that the fate of a nation is not predetermined; that individuals, citizens and corporations still have powerful agency and that when that agency is directed towards the right ideas and actions, South Africa can still realise its full potential.

  Time Is the Asset - How Real...

  Henrik Vesper

  Most investors lose money not because markets are cruel, but because they cannot stop interfering. They buy after rallies, sell after crashes, chase narratives, overpay for excitement, and call all of it strategy. Henrik Vesper spent two years studying businesses that had survived decades and centuries after losing most of his own capital in the 2000–2001 technology crash. What he found was simple and uncomfortable: time is the asset. Everything else is noise.
  Time Is the Asset is a complete framework for patient, long-horizon investing. Chapter by chapter, Vesper builds a philosophy grounded in behavioral research, business fundamentals, and hard-won experience managing capital through the crises of 2008, 2015, 2020, and 2022. He begins where most investors never look — inside their own heads — showing how overconfidence, attention bias, and the illusion of control destroy more wealth than any recession. He then moves outward, explaining how to read companies like an owner rather than a ticker watcher, how to use a balance sheet as a survival test, how to distinguish genuine earnings quality from accounting theater, and how to find real bargains in the places no one wants to look.
  The book covers every major decision an investor faces: how to set a personal asset allocation aligned with real temperament rather than theory, when to buy more and when to walk away, how to protect purchasing power against inflation over decades, and how to build a yearly routine that does its most important work by preventing catastrophic mistakes. Two chapters examine the psychology of bubbles — from Dutch tulips to dot-com euphoria to the crypto collapse of FTX — not as cautionary tales from the past but as maps of the psychological territory every generation must cross again.
  Vesper's central tool is the Hourglass Principle: before any investment, ask one question — is time working for this asset, or against it? That question, applied honestly and consistently, filters out speculation, overpriced stories, and fragile balance sheets, leaving only businesses and assets built to compound wealth over decades.
  The final chapter argues that the most important investment is not in any stock or fund, but in the kind of character that wealth stays with: patient, humble, frugal, emotionally resilient, and independent enough to be bored when the crowd is euphoric. Ronald Read, a janitor who built an eight-million-dollar fortune by buying solid companies, reinvesting dividends, and never selling, is the book's quiet hero — proof that the principles are simple, the hard part is becoming someone who can follow them.
  For readers of Morgan Housel and Ray Dalio, Time Is the Asset offers a rigorous, readable, and deeply practical guide to thinking about money in decades rather than days.
