LISTEN: Grindrod sells R2bn stake to Remgro: Alan Olivier (Grindrod) & Thys Visser (Remgro)
JOHANNESBURG - Remgro's (JSE:REM) CEO Thys Visser (58) passed away in a motor accident. He served as chairperson of Rainbow Chicken (JSE:RBW) and as non-executive director of RMB Holdings (JSE:RMH) Limited.
He was also a disciple of Warren Buffett and attended his annual AGM
He built Remgro into a FTSE/JSE Top 40 company with diverse interests across a number of market sectors, invested in both listed and unlisted companies.
Until 2008, Remgro's most valuable investment was in its 10.6% share in British American Tobacco (BAT). This interest, which made up more than 50% of its market capitalisation, was however unbundled in the massive restructuring of the Rupert-family's group of companies.
Approximately 65% of Remgro's portfolio is held in JSE-listed companies, including 31.4% of RMB Holdings, 31.5% of RMI Holdings, 3.9% of First Rand, 45.2% of Medi-Clinic, 33.3% of Distell, 73.3% of Rainbow Chicken and 4.4% of Impala Platinum. It also holds interests in unlisted companies such as Unilever South Africa, Kagiso Trust Investments, Tsb Sugar and Total South Africa.
aardse paradys
vir Thys
Hordes soek hul heil in die hemele
tas tevergeefs 'n heelal af na lewe
terwyl die hele aarde ín en óm ons
in alle vorms van die lewe bewe!
Wie wil beweer dat ons nie weet
waar die wind vandaan kom
of waar hy heengaan nie
voer onteenseglik 'n monoloog
en dink waarskynlik die bos is stom.
Gistermiddag op my daagliks tog deur die kouters
hoor ek helder, luid gedra op Etunazstemme
die boodskap dringend dreun oor woud en veld
vér familie in die Suide het dit eers gemeld
Aangereik van stam tot stam
oor volle lengte van die Vasteland
het die vér familie van die Avondland
die sein van lange afstand geregistreer
en aan elk oor weer gegee wat waarlik luister
Op my terugweg vanaand
het die bome net gefluister...
