The rand is officially slumping and it looks like the fall could continue as emerging markets currencies remain under fire. What is a South African to do in such an environment?

They also catch up on the Reinert share buyback and talk about Alec Hogg's upcoming interview with Lost Boys of Bird Island co-author Chris Steyn. Learn more about your ad choices.
