SARB's asset attachment raid - Markus Jooste confidant with back story on why it happened, what it means for ex-Steinhoff CEO

Loading player...
And the blurb: The subject of this interview, Rian du Plessis, says he remains close to ostracised former Steinhoff CEO Markus Jooste and is well known in SA business circles, as a former executive at RMB, and CEO of two JSE-listed groups Comparex and Phumelela. Du Plessis also serves as one of two external trustees on the Jooste family trust Silveroak, in which capacity he was named in the Anton Pillar court order requested by and granted to the SA Reserve Bank, resulting in this week’s raid on Jooste’s assets. He explains to Alec Hogg of BizNews why the SARB’s raid was such a surprise, what the attachment of Jooste-owned properties, motor vehicles, art, furniture and Mrs J’s jewellery actually means - and what comes next. Du Plessis also shares his perspective after watching the Steinheist mini-series, currently airing on Showmax. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
