Christo Wiese, worth about R31 billion, says the slogan aimed at him for years is meaningless and that 95% of his wealth remains in South Africa.
Pepkor CEO Pieter Erasmus will hold an indirect 13.2% of the $1.28 billion fintech his company is creating, a stake worth about $169 million.
Wiese received $198.5 million in cash and a five-percent share in Pepkor.
The deal will conclude on Feb. 4 through the acquisition of shares from Kinea Private Equity and the Caselli family.
In 2014, Wiese sold Pepkor to Steinhoff in exchange for about 20 percent of Steinhoff’s issued shares.
