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
There is a lot more @Shimza01 could share! How he found me at my lowest and pulled me up!… how i went from being a dj to being his tour manager and being a dj again! ❤️🙏🏾 ….the brotherhood stems deep!
Hands Off Gen. Mkhwanazi! A society that doesn’t protect whistleblowers is doomed to become a mafia state! They have already killed Babita. What do you think they will do to Mkhwanazi?
He must be shielded from all petty, egotistical, pompous & parasitic attacks!
All who try to reduce his mission to “personality fight ”, or even factions within the SAPS are all wrong. Journalists, politicians & many experts have been peddling of this line.
What this line seeks to do, is to neutralise the correct momentum against SAPS generals who have protected, advanced & benefitted from organised criminals with the endorsed of top politicians.
Mkhwanazi’s mission is simple: Organised criminals are embedded with top politicians & top generals, and they must all be exposed and meet the full might of the law!
Fact: All who oppose Gen. Mkhwanazi are not with the people! That is the bottom line!
If Mkhwanazi doesn’t win this battle, which is a peoples battle, then ours will become a banana republic, a mafia state ruled by men with guns!
Society must defend itself!
In a perfect world the Black Coffee chat was supposed to take a much different turn
Like how that party had so many SAn’s who are doing so well, and how great it is to see them all in one space celebrating another who is doing amazing

1. Ba tlwaela darkie masepa
2. Ba tlwaela darkie masepa
May Fez get his dream man, this is worth fighting for
I am an Afrikaner. I have all the freedom I want. The Bill of Rights in our constitution protects my rights. I am fully integrated in the South African nation. Demanding special treatment for Afrikaners is not in the interest of that group. Stop parotting MAGA
