DRD's CEO, Niël Pretorius, says that unlike Froneman, geopolitical risk isn't a major deterrent to his investors, but he does think it will influence the company in making new investments. "It's about doing the responsible thing. Would it be responsible to invest R2.5bn to R3bn (as DRDGOLD plans to do from next year for three years) when you have expropriation without compensation?" he asked.
