Appointed CEO, Grindrod Limited on 1 January 2023
CA(SA), AMP (Harvard)

As we approach the end of 2024, I would like to take the opportunity to express my gratitude to our customers for placing their trust in us and to our business partners and stakeholders for your continued support.

To the Grindrod team, I once again would like to thank you sincerely. I am proud of our efforts and achievements and the hardworking, dedicated, and passionate people throughout all 21+ countries of our Grindrod operations.

This has been quite a year. The world and markets have changed significantly over the past 12 months – and so too has our work evolved to respond to some of the global challenges we face.

I would like to welcome Andile Khumalo and Raymond Ndlovu, who were appointed to the board on November 1, 2024. Your insights are highly valued and appreciated.

We have ended the year on a high; being ranked second in the Sunday Times Top 100 Companies is a tremendous honour. This achievement would not have been possible without the support of our customers, Grindrod team, business partners, and key stakeholders. I sincerely thank you.

I would like to highlight several strategic milestones that have been pivotal to our growth trajectory.
