JOHANNESBURG – Struggling 
Taste Holdings’ majority shareholder Sean Riskowitz has backed the company to turn things around despite posting underwhelming results and offloading some of its assets.
Riskowitz, the chief executive of  Protea Asset Management, the majority of Combined Motor Holdings (CMH) and Calgro M3, said that Taste Holdings exhibited very strong long-term business economics.
