Imtiaz Patel: 'We anticipate MultiChoice will be a Top 40 JSE-listed company'

Loading player...

JOHANNESBURG — Naspers' announcement that it intends to separately list and unbundle its video entertainment business as MultiChoice Group on the JSE has been seen as Naspers' first step in unlocking its stock discount in relation to its 31% Tencent stake.

For the year ended March, it generated revenues of R47.1bn and trading profits of R6.1 bn. In this teleconference call, Naspers CEO Bob van Dijk along with Naspers Video Entertainment CEO, Imtiaz Patel, explain the rationale for the unbundling. - Gareth van Zyl Learn more about your ad choices.
