David ShapiroGUEST
You cannot accept what happened in the past, and that's the banks as well.
David ShapiroGUEST
I love what Pepkor are doing.
David ShapiroGUEST
I mean, it's magnificent how they're just disrupting the whole lending market, and the banks at the top, the Standards, the FirstRands, the Investing are suffering.
David ShapiroGUEST
They don't know what to do.
David ShapiroHOST
It's all coming down below, you know.
David ShapiroHOST
And you've got, uh, Pepkor now with their bank, which I think is taking on a completely different life.
David ShapiroHOST
Um, and the banks are all going there.
David ShapiroHOST
Is this your mar- Would you get into this or is this not your market?
Brett LevyGUEST
I think it's a very competitive market.
Brett LevyGUEST
We have very strong opposition in, uh, the likes of a Shop2Shop and a Flash and a Pepkor, uh, Losaka Group.
Brett LevyGUEST
So, you know, it's the same people that have been in the industry, but we seem to have our own markets that we deal in this big market.
Brett LevyGUEST
You do overlap with competition, and competition is good.
Jimmy MoyahaGUEST

Jimmy MoyahaGUEST

Simon BrownHOST

-into this offering from their perspective, and they have the reach and the, the footprint from a store perspective to be able to do this alongside their own customer base.
Finance GhostGUEST
Woolworths is, like, five times more valuable than Spar now.
Finance GhostGUEST
And Pepkor's little fintech arm, which is kind of an offshoot of Pepkor, has been valued at over twenty-one billion rand, and you've got Spar sitting at eight billion rand.
Finance GhostGUEST
So in short, it's not going to be remembered as a very happy time.
Stephen GrootesHOST
Presumably, it wasn't just because of Bosman, or it certainly wasn't just because of Zinn.
Finance GhostGUEST
That's, you know, a fair bit more.
Finance GhostGUEST
