Rational Radio - full show: Blocked racing threatens 100 000 jobs; Lockdown logic unpacked by B4SA's Martin Kingston

In this episode of Rational Radio, SA's favourite stockbroker David Shapiro is peppered with questions about investment ideas (he comes up some fresh ones including Salesforce.com) and the two pic stories in focus are:

* Business for South Africa's Martin Kingston - who heads Rothschilds in SA - addresses the tough question about the stifling Level 4 lockdown; why B4SA is calling for a lifting to level 2; and why president Cyril Ramaphosa doesn't trust his fellow citizens to act responsibly.
