    SA’s GDP contracts 0.2% as growth momentum fades and Old Mutual keeps growth momentum

    Stephen Grootes speaks to Sifiso Skenjana, economist and Managing Director of ESG Analytics about South Africa’s economy contracting 0.2% in the second quarter, after first-quarter growth was revised down to 0.4%. The latest GDP figures show weakness across mining, manufacturing and trade, while business investment also declined.
