Ghost Stories #81: Lesaka Technologies - disrupting through distribution to build a fintech giant

Lesaka Technologies is among the most interesting companies listed on the JSE. With a growth strategy that is grounded firmly in the belief that Southern Africa offers one of the most exciting opportunities in the world today, Lesaka is executing from a tried-and-tested playbook of disruption in the fintech space.

To explain the opportunity and how Lesaka’s business model is built to win, Executive Chairman Ali Mazanderani joined me on this podcast. He brings deep experience in building multi-billion dollar platforms around the world.

In Ali’s own words, “A lot of the best innovation happens with constraint, not with largesse.” Get ready for fantastic insights into building platforms in Africa, with Lesaka as a homegrown example that can be accessed on the JSE. To learn more about Lesaka, you can visit their website here.

This podcast has been sponsored by Lesaka Technologies. As always, I was given an opportunity to dig into the strategy and ask my own questions in my quest to learn more. You must always do your own research and speak to a financial advisor before making any decision to invest. This podcast should not be seen as an investment recommendation or an endorsement.
