Grapes of Wraith | Friday, 31 July 2009

So Mark Wraith (and his dad Matthew, a dead ringer for Ronnie Price of Ronnies Sex Shop fame in the Klein Karoo) are well placed for vinous success. Owning 150 ha high up on the Helderberg helps too.

The family sold their Boxer Tobacco business to Swedish Match in 1999 which in turn wa ...

KWV restructuring: Dylan Lewis rubs his hands | Thursday, 23 July 2009
In the midst of judging the Absa Top Ten Pinotage Competition last week, my cell phone, somewhat embarrassingly, went off. It was my stockbroker. "Why have Distell shares jumped to R70?" Retired Distell insider and fellow judge Duimpie Bayly was clueless, but then Distell is in a closed period and he'd been told not to trade his shares. What was more interesting was that KWV Beleggings were trading at the same price as Distell - which is a M ...
