The Tsavo Investment Securities briefing had been moved once already, from 9am on a Saturday morning to 11am. Half an hour later, there were still only five people in the large conference hall. Fifty had confirmed attendance. Fred Mweni, chief executive, tried to make light of it. Another half hour went by. Finally, when there were 10 people present, he began.
It was, bizarrely, a lively presentation – a Billy Graham performance booming out to a puddle of believers in the middle of a vast, empty hall.
