“Partnership environments are extremely dynamic and relatively cash intensive. By not owning buildings, we’re able to be far more agile as a business even though the logic would suggest that owning property in Sandton, if you have a long-term view of your location, would make more sense,” said Ajith at a CFO South Africa dinner focusing on property.
