BNC#9 | Christo Wiese: Steinhoff, land, 'white monopoly capital', and what keeps him betting on SA
Loading player...
Christo Wiese built one of South Africa's biggest retail empires on a simple rule: trust people, even when it's risky. Then Markus Jooste broke that trust and took Steinhoff down with him. In this rare fireside chat at BNC#9, Wiese talks for the first time in years about why he's never forgiven Jooste, the strange twist that let him sue to get land back, and a story about a Steinhoff-linked figure whose death turned out to be far stranger than anyone knew. He also gets into why South Africa produces so few entrepreneurs, what he really thinks "white monopoly capital" means, and why, in his 80s, he's still betting everything on this country.
