Christo Wiese:

Christoffel Wiese built his Pepkor retail empire by offering bargain prices in South Africa, and expanded into other African countries.

Simon Mantelli:

A born and bred Capetonian, Simon Mantell started his formal working career in 1976 as a smooth talking 13 year old door to door salesman marketing mirrors after hours to homeowners in the newly built Mitchell’s Plain. This work experience served as an invaluable lesson in developing a thick skin while pitching ideas and products to potential customers. A mixture of fate and opportunity in 1988 provided him with the seed capital to be able to establish Mantelli’s which evolved from a pasta and ice cream retail business into a biscuit factory which manufactures premium biscuits and supplies major national retailers, private label clients as well as large corporates in the food service channel. This food service customer base includes local and international airlines, hotels and hospitals with exports to Spain, Germany, Finland and Russia.

Minki van der Westhuizen [MC]:

Over the years, Minki van der Westhuizen has become a well-recognized face in the modeling world and South African television. She gained representation from Max Models agency and added to her credentials by hosting prominent television shows. By May 2007, she was the host of the SABC 2 program "Afrikaans" and also took on hosting responsibilities for another program "Pasella." Her charm and proficiency in these roles made her a beloved figure among viewers.
