        <video:description><![CDATA[Eight years ago, an investment analysis questioned whether Naspers was still a worthwhile investment, despite its significant exposure to Tencent. Since then, the share price has experienced considerable volatility and long-term investors have arguably not been adequately rewarded. Now questions have resurfaced around Tencent's slowing earnings growth, its valuation, exposure to China and of course the changing economics of artificial intelligence.
