When we started talking about looking for private investors, two possible types of investor immediately came to mind. The first was someone living either in SA or Europe, who had money sitting in a European savings account earning no interest. Mortgage/Bond interest rates are very low here at the moment and consequently interest earned on savings is next to nothing. We could offer "something better than nothing" The second possibility was someone living in SA, planning to leave the country, but not ready to leave just yet. They could potentially want to move some of their funds out of SA now in order to reduce any further losses due to falling exchange rates and we could offer them "somewhere safe to put their money in the meantime" Currently we are talking to a couple of people along these lines. It's early days yet, but you never know! :-)
