CHRISTO WIESE - SHOPRITE & PEP OWNER
I once owned a diamond mine. I was simply fortunate enough to afford it.
I later sold it and used the proceeds to buy control of Shoprite and Pep from the family [1981].
At the time, Pep had just 200 stores, while Shoprite had only 9.
To put that into perspective, Pep now has over 6,000 stores, and Shoprite operates more than 3,500 stores across Africa.
Today, Shoprite is Africa's largest food retailer. These two combined are South Africa's biggest private-sector employer, with over 200,000 employees.
I am proud of my country & Africa, my continent.
I live here and my family. I am a prisoner of hope (permanently optimist)
I am an African, just with a white skin.
I have been a chairman of aPepkor and Shoprite holdings from 1981 till 2017.
Finding a person to lead your companies is more about luck than wisdom.
I live a simple life. I dont have bodyguards. I drive myself around.
I have a house in Clifton. No high walls.
South Africa is a good country. Things are affordable here.
Safety concerns are overstated. There is no country that is 100% safe and nice. Even in London. Those people want to live an affordable SA life as well
