I believe businesses don't grow or develop in terms of a blueprint. There is a huge element of opportunism involved.

The agricultural potential of Africa is unlimited.

I'm extremely positive about investment in Africa. Africa has a wonderful climate, wonderful people, and amazing possibilities. Africa has been called dark and hopeless, but today it is neither of these. Africa is awakening. It's a huge market of almost a billion people with huge resources and a young population. It's the best place to invest.

I still enjoy what I'm doing, which is building businesses. I don't play golf. I don't have any particular passion apart from my business and my family, and that gives me all the pleasure that I want.

Money is always the least of the problems. It is finding the right business or growing the right business. You can't do that without the right people.

I cannot imagine being happy anywhere else in the world but in Cape Town - South Africa in general, but Cape Town in particular.

Africa is awakening. It's a huge market of almost a billion people with huge resources and a young population. People spend when they're young.

Any business either grows or dies. You've just got to keep growing.
