A marketplace’s own retail operations and independent merchants are different actors. The archive’s 2022 provisional response should not be presented as a response first issued after the final 2023 decision.
- response
- At the provisional stage, Takealot disputed the evidential basis and characterisation of the findings. It argued that its operations faced competition from physical retailers and other online businesses; in food delivery it pointed to restaurants’ own delivery and takeaway services and the jobs created by the sector.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The precise historical vote percentages vary with the date and share denominator.

That is an authorised exemption, not a finding of misconduct or a group-wide exemption.
- response

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Adjusted measures describe a different result: consolidated adjusted EBIT was US$583 million, while the regional ecosystems’ adjusted EBIT was US$923 million. Neither is the IFRS operating result. Corporate costs were reorganised into the Corporate segment from April 2025. The external auditor did not audit the forecasts in this summary.
- response
- Management attributes underlying growth principally to iFood and OLX, with the larger reported-dollar increase also reflecting the acquisitions of Just Eat Takeaway.com and Despegar. It presents AI both as an investment opportunity and as a source of disruption to existing assets.
- outcome
- Net interest changed from US$344 million of income to US$23 million of expense. Continuing-operations earnings fell to US$11.6 billion, principally because the gain on Tencent share disposals was lower; this is separate from the operating loss.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Central and consolidated balances have different scopes and must not be mixed. A further US$1.4 billion Tencent dividend received in June 2026 was subsequent to the March year-end. Tencent’s 22.66% retained interest was a dated group position through Prosus, not a new direct Naspers purchase.
- response
- Management identifies the Tencent stake as a material concentration and says it is building the regional commerce portfolio to reduce dependence on a single asset or market. Its commitment to investment-grade ratings is a company position, not a new independent rating assessment.
- outcome
- Sales reducing the Tencent position by 0.9 percentage points generated a US$4.7 billion gain during FY26, below US$6.0 billion in FY25. The retained bond schedule also lists July 2026 US-dollar issues of US$650 million due 2033 and US$1 billion due 2036, with coupons of 5.528% and 5.873%. The separate euro schedule spans 2028–2035.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The proposed allocation distinguished a 49% economic interest and 20% voting rights for MultiChoice Group from a 27% economic interest for Phuthuma Nathi, with other empowerment consortia and an employee plan involved. Economic and voting percentages are different denominators. The consortia’s leaders are not automatically personal direct shareholders in LicenceCo.
- response
- The companies said the proposed structure addressed foreign-control and empowerment requirements, with services supplied under commercial agreements by other group entities.
- outcome
- Later 2025 reporting records conditional competition approval and commencement of reorganisation steps. Those reports must retain their proposal and implementation dates; approval alone is not proof that every step was already completed. None restores a current Naspers ownership link.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. An accounting write-down or loss of significant influence does not by itself establish a legal share disposal. Here the later renunciation disclosure supplies the separate exit event.

- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are market-inquiry findings and remedial measures, not a criminal conviction. A marketplace’s own retail operations and independent merchants are different actors. The archive’s 2022 provisional response should not be presented as a response first issued after the final 2023 decision.
- response
- At the provisional stage, Takealot disputed the evidential basis and characterisation of the findings. It argued that its operations faced competition from physical retailers and other online businesses; in food delivery it pointed to restaurants’ own delivery and takeaway services and the jobs created by the sector.
- outcome
- The final inquiry retained corrective measures. The retained material does not establish a complete later implementation or appeal history for every requirement.
attributedProsus N.V. — PayU (group brand; legal entities distinguished). Capacity: Parent of PayU group. Period: Source recorded 2025-05-13; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval. 25 37
- qualification
- The brand endpoint does not automatically identify every contracting legal entity. This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The sale of Global Payments Organisation activities did not mean the sale of PayU’s Indian business. The latest financial report records completion of the European GPO disposal in November 2025. Earlier transaction announcements describe a broader agreed business perimeter and must retain their own date and scope.
- outcome
- FY26 India revenue reached US$781 million and adjusted EBITDA was positive at US$18 million, while adjusted EBIT remained a US$10 million loss. The credit business improved to US$6 million adjusted EBITDA, retaining both the favorable trend and the remaining operating loss.
attributedWheatfields Investments No 221 — Naspers Limited. Capacity: 12.63% voting interest through A shares in dated Commission account. Period: Source recorded 2017-06-08; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The precise historical vote percentages vary with the date and share denominator. A shared address or a minority stake does not establish an additional controlling owner. The Companies Tribunal granted Keerom a five-year social-and-ethics-committee exemption on 2 May 2023 after considering its narrow activities. That is an authorised exemption, not a finding of misconduct or a group-wide exemption.
- response
- In the 2017 merger dispute, the Competition Commission’s analysis treated Nasbel and Keerom as the controlling pool and did not regard Wheatfields’ minority holdings as conferring control. Caxton disputed that analysis, citing Wheatfields, the Heemstede loop and related interests.
attributedSanlam Limited — Wheatfields Investments No 221. Capacity: 50% Wheatfields interest in dated account. Period: Source recorded 2017-06-08; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Permission to investigate or intervene is not a ruling accepting Caxton’s ultimate-control theory. The 2014 transaction was subsequently abandoned. In the later Novus proceeding, the Tribunal denied intervention on the remaining control issue because divestiture conditions removed it from the merger’s consideration. The precise historical vote percentages vary with the date and share denominator. A shared address or a minority stake does not establish an additional controlling owner. The Companies Tribunal granted Keerom a five-year social-and-ethics-committee exemption on 2 May 2023 after considering its narrow activities. That is an authorised exemption, not a finding of misconduct or a group-wide exemption.
- response
- Naspers’ companies argued that reducing Media24’s interest and ending control of Novus made a wider enquiry unnecessary; they offered to reduce the stake further if 19% still conferred control. The Commission’s interpretation differed from Caxton’s on the significance of Wheatfields. In the 2017 merger dispute, the Competition Commission’s analysis treated Nasbel and Keerom as the controlling pool and did not regard Wheatfields’ minority holdings as conferring control. Caxton disputed that analysis, citing Wheatfields, the Heemstede loop and related interests.

- The 2017 Tribunal decision approved the transaction subject to conditions that reduced Media24 to no more than 19% and addressed contractual and information-sharing concerns. It did not resolve every general allegation about Naspers’ ultimate control.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are dated indirect holdings and share counts, before the October 2025 Naspers subdivision. The disclosed 25% interests support the historical economic connection but do not by themselves determine who controlled every Naspers vote. Caxton’s asserted Sanlam–Sholto–Goedgedacht chain is retained as its attributed account, distinct from the company’s own indirect-interest disclosure. A later retirement does not establish disposal of a person’s investments. The 2006 statement’s description of control and voting rights is a dated company account. Later Commission analysis and Caxton’s competing interpretation should not be silently replaced by it. Payments made in an acquisition are historical transactions, not continuing executive mandates.
- response
- Bekker said the arrangement was intended to preserve Naspers’ independence and ability to operate internationally. The reported hostile PSG-led proposal illustrated the disparity between a tiny economic percentage and a much larger voting interest.

- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These disposals are separate from the older high-vote Wheatfields structure. They do not show that Bekker left the chair or disposed of all of his interests, and an asset aggregator’s later valuation is a market snapshot rather than an independently verified personal net-worth figure.

attributedMedia24 Proprietary Limited — Novus Holdings Limited. Capacity: Historical controlling interest; 2017 divestment condition capped residual stake at 19%. Period: Historical proposal and 2017 hearing; primary Tribunal records 66.5% then cap of 19%. 38 51 42
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The primary 2017 decision records Media24 holding 66.5% at the hearing and approving a divestment to no more than 19%. A different percentage in contemporaneous reporting does not replace this hearing-specific figure. Earlier proposals, control already implemented and the later divestment must not be collapsed into one timeless ownership link.
- response
- Media24 argued that a residual investment justified a non-operational board nominee and that existing printing arrangements did not amount to foreclosure. The Tribunal noted no evidence of foreclosure to that date and accepted the conditions as addressing the competition concerns.
- outcome
- The conditions terminated the restated management agreement, made printing contracts terminable on six months’ notice, barred Naspers from appointing Novus board or executive-committee members and limited Media24’s nomination right to a person outside its operational publishing management. The Tribunal found de jure control would end and continued de facto control highly unlikely.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Joining a group, being its CFO and becoming a statutory director are different events. Marais’ Naspers directorship was effective with his permanent appointment; the announcement anticipated a separate Prosus appointment after shareholder approval. Aggregator dates that differ by a day or incorrectly place all appointments in December 2024 are not adopted. Old biographies and directories remain in the archive after departures. They do not prove a continuing mandate. Bekker’s announced plan to leave the chair during the financial year ending March 2028 is a future transition, not a completed retirement at the September 2026 cutoff.
- response
- The board praised Bloisi’s operating experience and discipline. Jefferies analysts preferred a capital allocator and questioned whether an owner-operator’s skills fitted the holding-company role; UBS saw potential in the Bloisi–Tu combination. These were attributed appointment-time assessments, not findings of misconduct.
- outcome
- From 14 September 2026, the audit committee comprised interim chair Shar Dubey, Angelien Kemna, Manisha Girotra and Pedro Arnt. The risk committee comprised interim chair Kemna, Rachel Jafta, Arnold Goldberg, Fabricio Bloisi and Nico Marais. This later roster takes precedence over earlier committee descriptions.

- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are dated indirect holdings and share counts, before the October 2025 Naspers subdivision. The disclosed 25% interests support the historical economic connection but do not by themselves determine who controlled every Naspers vote. Caxton’s asserted Sanlam–Sholto–Goedgedacht chain is retained as its attributed account, distinct from the company’s own indirect-interest disclosure. A later retirement does not establish disposal of a person’s investments.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Joining a group, being its CFO and becoming a statutory director are different events. Marais’ Naspers directorship was effective with his permanent appointment; the announcement anticipated a separate Prosus appointment after shareholder approval. Aggregator dates that differ by a day or incorrectly place all appointments in December 2024 are not adopted. Old biographies and directories remain in the archive after departures. They do not prove a continuing mandate. Bekker’s announced plan to leave the chair during the financial year ending March 2028 is a future transition, not a completed retirement at the September 2026 cutoff.
- response
- The board praised Bloisi’s operating experience and discipline. Jefferies analysts preferred a capital allocator and questioned whether an owner-operator’s skills fitted the holding-company role; UBS saw potential in the Bloisi–Tu combination. These were attributed appointment-time assessments, not findings of misconduct.
- outcome
- From 14 September 2026, the audit committee comprised interim chair Shar Dubey, Angelien Kemna, Manisha Girotra and Pedro Arnt. The risk committee comprised interim chair Kemna, Rachel Jafta, Arnold Goldberg, Fabricio Bloisi and Nico Marais. This later roster takes precedence over earlier committee descriptions.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The primary 2017 decision records Media24 holding 66.5% at the hearing and approving a divestment to no more than 19%. A different percentage in contemporaneous reporting does not replace this hearing-specific figure. Earlier proposals, control already implemented and the later divestment must not be collapsed into one timeless ownership link.
- response
- Media24 argued that a residual investment justified a non-operational board nominee and that existing printing arrangements did not amount to foreclosure. The Tribunal noted no evidence of foreclosure to that date and accepted the conditions as addressing the competition concerns.
- outcome
- The conditions terminated the restated management agreement, made printing contracts terminable on six months’ notice, barred Naspers from appointing Novus board or executive-committee members and limited Media24’s nomination right to a person outside its operational publishing management. The Tribunal found de jure control would end and continued de facto control highly unlikely.

The substantial monetary penalties proposed in the pleading were requested enforcement measures, not damages or fines awarded.

- response
- The pleading itself records Prosus’ March 2022 statements that it was addressing a small number of military advertisements and separating Avito from OLX, with no further investment or economic benefit and no direct day-to-day involvement.

- The appeal notice identifies the Amsterdam interim judgment of 15 July 2022 and seeks reversal. Later Loyens & Loeff commentary reports that the claimant withdrew its appeal after Prosus sold Avito and exited Russia.

- Naspers said it supported MultiChoice’s review of possible governance failures and took malpractice allegations seriously; it said it had not been informed of investor legal action. In response to Carrim, its spokesperson argued that his allegations did not assert illegal conduct by Naspers and said the company would not exercise its rights to give or test evidence at the inquiry. The Guptas and Jacob Zuma denied wrongdoing in the wider allegations reported by Reuters. The commission’s final report records MultiChoice’s denial of improper lobbying and its statement that it played no role in Carrim’s non-reappointment. It also records a company review acknowledging mistakes in ANN7 dealings and recommending stronger channel-ownership due diligence and escalation.
- outcome
- The final State Capture Commission report, Part V Volume 2, printed page 516, found no evidential basis for fraud or corruption in the MultiChoice lobbying concerned. That limited favorable conclusion must accompany the allegations; it is not a blanket clearance of every contract or a ruling in the separate competition proceedings.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are attributed governance criticisms, not regulatory findings or proof of a US$100 million payment. Prosus and Naspers have separate voting results. Advisers to investors are not thereby advisers engaged by the company, and asset-manager voting disclosures do not identify a personal beneficial owner of all managed shares.
- response
- Naspers says its remuneration chair engages investors regularly and that it remains open to dialogue. Its policy makes the moonshot conditional on doubling the combined dollar market value, maintaining that value for a further period and beating median peer shareholder returns. Malus and clawback provisions also apply.
- outcome
- The 2026 Naspers resolutions passed despite substantial N-class opposition. The company said the discount-linked component of short-term incentives paid zero, while the moonshot remained conditional. These distinctions are retained beside the criticism.

- response
- Naspers’ companies argued that reducing Media24’s interest and ending control of Novus made a wider enquiry unnecessary; they offered to reduce the stake further if 19% still conferred control. The Commission’s interpretation differed from Caxton’s on the significance of Wheatfields.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are the separate class and combined voting results disclosed by the company. They are not a claim that the resolutions failed or that most economic ownership necessarily supported them. The 1,000 votes per A share explain why simple share-count comparisons are misleading.
- response
- The company says no A shareholder controls more than 34% of Naspers. It acknowledges that the holding-company discount had not narrowed as shareholders wanted and says the discount-linked portion of CEO and CFO short-term incentives paid zero for FY26.
- outcome
- The AGM approved all resolutions. The Prosus dividend was to be passed through to Naspers shareholders, with the exact per-share amount to be announced on 1 December 2026 after further buybacks; it was not yet fixed at the archive cutoff.
attributedTakealot Group — Mr D Food. Capacity: Group food-delivery platform. Period: Source recorded 2023-08-01; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The inquiry included Mr D and Uber Eats as distinct operators. The fact that both appeared in an inquiry does not establish an ownership, partnership or collusion relationship between them. These are market-inquiry findings and remedial measures, not a criminal conviction. A marketplace’s own retail operations and independent merchants are different actors. The archive’s 2022 provisional response should not be presented as a response first issued after the final 2023 decision.
- response
- Takealot’s earlier response emphasised competition from restaurants’ own delivery and takeaway channels and the economic opportunities created by the sector. The separate Uber Eats response in the final-report article is not a Mr D statement. At the provisional stage, Takealot disputed the evidential basis and characterisation of the findings. It argued that its operations faced competition from physical retailers and other online businesses; in food delivery it pointed to restaurants’ own delivery and takeaway services and the jobs created by the sector.
- outcome
- The final inquiry retained corrective measures. The retained material does not establish a complete later implementation or appeal history for every requirement.

- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The table is explicitly expressed in thousands. Its total of approximately 750.553 million combines net N shares and A shares, not voting rights or equivalent economic interests. Old descriptions of Prosus owning roughly half of Naspers are historical, not a continuing circular holding after September 2023.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Joining a group, being its CFO and becoming a statutory director are different events. Marais’ Naspers directorship was effective with his permanent appointment; the announcement anticipated a separate Prosus appointment after shareholder approval. Aggregator dates that differ by a day or incorrectly place all appointments in December 2024 are not adopted. Old biographies and directories remain in the archive after departures. They do not prove a continuing mandate. Bekker’s announced plan to leave the chair during the financial year ending March 2028 is a future transition, not a completed retirement at the September 2026 cutoff.
- response
- The board praised Bloisi’s operating experience and discipline. Jefferies analysts preferred a capital allocator and questioned whether an owner-operator’s skills fitted the holding-company role; UBS saw potential in the Bloisi–Tu combination. These were attributed appointment-time assessments, not findings of misconduct.
- outcome
- From 14 September 2026, the audit committee comprised interim chair Shar Dubey, Angelien Kemna, Manisha Girotra and Pedro Arnt. The risk committee comprised interim chair Kemna, Rachel Jafta, Arnold Goldberg, Fabricio Bloisi and Nico Marais. This later roster takes precedence over earlier committee descriptions.

- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The 2006 statement’s description of control and voting rights is a dated company account. Later Commission analysis and Caxton’s competing interpretation should not be silently replaced by it. Payments made in an acquisition are historical transactions, not continuing executive mandates.
- response
- Bekker said the arrangement was intended to preserve Naspers’ independence and ability to operate internationally. The reported hostile PSG-led proposal illustrated the disparity between a tiny economic percentage and a much larger voting interest.

- Media24 argued that a residual investment justified a non-operational board nominee and that existing printing arrangements did not amount to foreclosure. The Tribunal noted no evidence of foreclosure to that date and accepted the conditions as addressing the competition concerns.

- The conditions terminated the restated management agreement, made printing contracts terminable on six months’ notice, barred Naspers from appointing Novus board or executive-committee members and limited Media24’s nomination right to a person outside its operational publishing management.

attributedMedia24 Proprietary Limited — Novus Holdings Limited. Capacity: Historical 66.5% interest subject to reduction to no more than 19%. Period: Source recorded 2017-01; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval. 38 51 42
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The primary 2017 decision records Media24 holding 66.5% at the hearing and approving a divestment to no more than 19%. A different percentage in contemporaneous reporting does not replace this hearing-specific figure. Earlier proposals, control already implemented and the later divestment must not be collapsed into one timeless ownership link.
- response
- Media24 argued that a residual investment justified a non-operational board nominee and that existing printing arrangements did not amount to foreclosure. The Tribunal noted no evidence of foreclosure to that date and accepted the conditions as addressing the competition concerns.
- outcome
- The conditions terminated the restated management agreement, made printing contracts terminable on six months’ notice, barred Naspers from appointing Novus board or executive-committee members and limited Media24’s nomination right to a person outside its operational publishing management. The Tribunal found de jure control would end and continued de facto control highly unlikely.
attributedCanal+ S.A. — MultiChoice Group Limited. Capacity: Dated acquisition trajectory from 6.5% to 35.01% before mandatory offer. Period: Source gives 2020-10; exact start and later status depend on the cited record.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The proposed allocation distinguished a 49% economic interest and 20% voting rights for MultiChoice Group from a 27% economic interest for Phuthuma Nathi, with other empowerment consortia and an employee plan involved. Economic and voting percentages are different denominators. The consortia’s leaders are not automatically personal direct shareholders in LicenceCo.
- response
- The companies said the proposed structure addressed foreign-control and empowerment requirements, with services supplied under commercial agreements by other group entities.
- outcome
- Later 2025 reporting records conditional competition approval and commencement of reorganisation steps. Those reports must retain their proposal and implementation dates; approval alone is not proof that every step was already completed. None restores a current Naspers ownership link.

Marais’ Naspers directorship was effective with his permanent appointment; the announcement anticipated a separate Prosus appointment after shareholder approval. Aggregator dates that differ by a day or incorrectly place all appointments in December 2024 are not adopted.
- response

- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Permission to investigate or intervene is not a ruling accepting Caxton’s ultimate-control theory. The 2014 transaction was subsequently abandoned. In the later Novus proceeding, the Tribunal denied intervention on the remaining control issue because divestiture conditions removed it from the merger’s consideration.
- response
- Naspers’ companies argued that reducing Media24’s interest and ending control of Novus made a wider enquiry unnecessary; they offered to reduce the stake further if 19% still conferred control. The Commission’s interpretation differed from Caxton’s on the significance of Wheatfields.
- outcome
- The 2017 Tribunal decision approved the transaction subject to conditions that reduced Media24 to no more than 19% and addressed contractual and information-sharing concerns. It did not resolve every general allegation about Naspers’ ultimate control.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are dated indirect holdings and share counts, before the October 2025 Naspers subdivision. The disclosed 25% interests support the historical economic connection but do not by themselves determine who controlled every Naspers vote. Caxton’s asserted Sanlam–Sholto–Goedgedacht chain is retained as its attributed account, distinct from the company’s own indirect-interest disclosure. A later retirement does not establish disposal of a person’s investments. The 2006 statement’s description of control and voting rights is a dated company account. Later Commission analysis and Caxton’s competing interpretation should not be silently replaced by it. Payments made in an acquisition are historical transactions, not continuing executive mandates.
- response
- Bekker said the arrangement was intended to preserve Naspers’ independence and ability to operate internationally. The reported hostile PSG-led proposal illustrated the disparity between a tiny economic percentage and a much larger voting interest.

Marais’ Naspers directorship was effective with his permanent appointment; the announcement anticipated a separate Prosus appointment after shareholder approval. Aggregator dates that differ by a day or incorrectly place all appointments in December 2024 are not adopted. These are attributed governance criticisms, not regulatory findings or proof of a US$100 million payment. Prosus and Naspers have separate voting results. Advisers to investors are not thereby advisers engaged by the company, and asset-manager voting disclosures do not identify a personal beneficial owner of all managed shares.

Jefferies analysts preferred a capital allocator and questioned whether an owner-operator’s skills fitted the holding-company role; UBS saw potential in the Bloisi–Tu combination. These were attributed appointment-time assessments, not findings of misconduct. Naspers says its remuneration chair engages investors regularly and that it remains open to dialogue. Its policy makes the moonshot conditional on doubling the combined dollar market value, maintaining that value for a further period and beating median peer shareholder returns. Malus and clawback provisions also apply.

The 2026 Naspers resolutions passed despite substantial N-class opposition. The company said the discount-linked component of short-term incentives paid zero, while the moonshot remained conditional. These distinctions are retained beside the criticism.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Joining a group, being its CFO and becoming a statutory director are different events. Marais’ Naspers directorship was effective with his permanent appointment; the announcement anticipated a separate Prosus appointment after shareholder approval.

They do not prove a continuing mandate. Bekker’s announced plan to leave the chair during the financial year ending March 2028 is a future transition, not a completed retirement at the September 2026 cutoff.
- response
- The board praised Bloisi’s operating experience and discipline. Jefferies analysts preferred a capital allocator and questioned whether an owner-operator’s skills fitted the holding-company role; UBS saw potential in the Bloisi–Tu combination. These were attributed appointment-time assessments, not findings of misconduct.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Old biographies and directories remain in the archive after departures. They do not prove a continuing mandate. Bekker’s announced plan to leave the chair during the financial year ending March 2028 is a future transition, not a completed retirement at the September 2026 cutoff.
- outcome
- From 14 September 2026, the audit committee comprised interim chair Shar Dubey, Angelien Kemna, Manisha Girotra and Pedro Arnt. The risk committee comprised interim chair Kemna, Rachel Jafta, Arnold Goldberg, Fabricio Bloisi and Nico Marais. This later roster takes precedence over earlier committee descriptions.
attributedNico Marais — Prosus N.V.. Capacity: Group chief financial officer. Period: Interim CFO from December 2024; permanent CFO from 29 April 2025; Naspers directorship effective then, Prosus appointment separately subject to approval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Joining a group, being its CFO and becoming a statutory director are different events. Marais’ Naspers directorship was effective with his permanent appointment; the announcement anticipated a separate Prosus appointment after shareholder approval. Aggregator dates that differ by a day or incorrectly place all appointments in December 2024 are not adopted. Old biographies and directories remain in the archive after departures. They do not prove a continuing mandate. Bekker’s announced plan to leave the chair during the financial year ending March 2028 is a future transition, not a completed retirement at the September 2026 cutoff.
- response
- The board praised Bloisi’s operating experience and discipline. Jefferies analysts preferred a capital allocator and questioned whether an owner-operator’s skills fitted the holding-company role; UBS saw potential in the Bloisi–Tu combination. These were attributed appointment-time assessments, not findings of misconduct.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The competitors’ cited 80% share concerned their asserted market definition; iFood disputed equating the app market with all food delivery. An interim measure and an allegation of non-compliance are not a final finding of every alleged practice.
- response
- Bloisi said iFood considered its conduct lawful, had renewed existing arrangements rather than adding new ones, and had reduced the exclusive-restaurant proportion from 11% to 8%. Other iFood executives cited multi-platform restaurant chains, logistics investment and orders placed directly through restaurants or messaging apps. They disputed informal exclusivity and said they supplied data to Cade weekly.
- outcome
- On 8 February 2023, Cade agreed a 54-month cessation commitment with iFood, monitored by a trustee. It barred exclusivity with brands of at least 30 restaurants and capped smaller-brand exclusivity nationally at 25% of platform GMV and locally at 8% of active restaurants in cities above 500,000 residents. It also restricted price-parity clauses and restraints on competing platforms. This negotiated settlement is the later outcome of the investigation, not a criminal conviction or a blanket clearance of the earlier allegations.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. An agreement announced on 14 October was not itself proof of completion on that same day. The later primary FY23 financial statements confirm that the disposal completed in October 2022. A stray report using million instead of billion is not adopted.
- response
- Prosus described the sale as a responsible and structured exit under difficult conditions.
- outcome
- Prosus’ FY23 report records the completed disposal and US$2.4 billion proceeds. Avito is therefore a historical portfolio connection, not a continuing Naspers asset in this reconstruction.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Carrim’s testimony, journalists’ allegations and the 2017 Pomerantz announcement are different kinds of evidence. A law firm announcing an investigation on behalf of shareholders is not a filed shareholder action or a court finding of securities fraud.
- response
- Naspers said it supported MultiChoice’s review of possible governance failures and took malpractice allegations seriously; it said it had not been informed of investor legal action. In response to Carrim, its spokesperson argued that his allegations did not assert illegal conduct by Naspers and said the company would not exercise its rights to give or test evidence at the inquiry. The Guptas and Jacob Zuma denied wrongdoing in the wider allegations reported by Reuters. The commission’s final report records MultiChoice’s denial of improper lobbying and its statement that it played no role in Carrim’s non-reappointment. It also records a company review acknowledging mistakes in ANN7 dealings and recommending stronger channel-ownership due diligence and escalation.
- outcome
- The final State Capture Commission report, Part V Volume 2, printed page 516, found no evidential basis for fraud or corruption in the MultiChoice lobbying concerned. That limited favorable conclusion must accompany the allegations; it is not a blanket clearance of every contract or a ruling in the separate competition proceedings.

- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are attributed governance criticisms, not regulatory findings or proof of a US$100 million payment. Prosus and Naspers have separate voting results. Advisers to investors are not thereby advisers engaged by the company, and asset-manager voting disclosures do not identify a personal beneficial owner of all managed shares.
- response
- Naspers says its remuneration chair engages investors regularly and that it remains open to dialogue.

Malus and clawback provisions also apply.
- outcome

attributedFabricio Bloisi Rocha — Naspers Limited. Capacity: Executive director and chief executive. Period: Group CEO from 1 July 2024; later record may separately concern committee or award capacity.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Joining a group, being its CFO and becoming a statutory director are different events. Marais’ Naspers directorship was effective with his permanent appointment; the announcement anticipated a separate Prosus appointment after shareholder approval. Aggregator dates that differ by a day or incorrectly place all appointments in December 2024 are not adopted. Old biographies and directories remain in the archive after departures. They do not prove a continuing mandate. Bekker’s announced plan to leave the chair during the financial year ending March 2028 is a future transition, not a completed retirement at the September 2026 cutoff.
- response
- The board praised Bloisi’s operating experience and discipline. Jefferies analysts preferred a capital allocator and questioned whether an owner-operator’s skills fitted the holding-company role; UBS saw potential in the Bloisi–Tu combination. These were attributed appointment-time assessments, not findings of misconduct.
- outcome
- From 14 September 2026, the audit committee comprised interim chair Shar Dubey, Angelien Kemna, Manisha Girotra and Pedro Arnt. The risk committee comprised interim chair Kemna, Rachel Jafta, Arnold Goldberg, Fabricio Bloisi and Nico Marais. This later roster takes precedence over earlier committee descriptions.

attributedCraig Lawrence Enenstein — Naspers Limited. Capacity: Human-resources and remuneration-committee chair. Period: Source recorded 2024-08-22; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are attributed governance criticisms, not regulatory findings or proof of a US$100 million payment. Prosus and Naspers have separate voting results. Advisers to investors are not thereby advisers engaged by the company, and asset-manager voting disclosures do not identify a personal beneficial owner of all managed shares.
- response
- Naspers says its remuneration chair engages investors regularly and that it remains open to dialogue. Its policy makes the moonshot conditional on doubling the combined dollar market value, maintaining that value for a further period and beating median peer shareholder returns. Malus and clawback provisions also apply.
- outcome
- The 2026 Naspers resolutions passed despite substantial N-class opposition. The company said the discount-linked component of short-term incentives paid zero, while the moonshot remained conditional. These distinctions are retained beside the criticism.

- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The 2020 pandemic-related reductions were a separate episode. A plan to end a print edition is not necessarily the disappearance of the title’s digital journalism. The applicants’ predictions of lost access and higher distribution costs are preserved as arguments, not converted into established outcomes.
- response
- Media24 attributed its decision to declining print readership and advertising, said migration would occur independently of the asset sale, and described retaining journalists in digital operations. The Competition Appeal Court found that the evidence did not establish the broader composite merger alleged by the applicants.
- outcome
- The court dismissed the urgent application with costs on 24 December 2024. Later reporting said Caxton and Capital Newspapers sought Constitutional Court relief; the retained report does not establish the final result of that later effort.

- response
- At the provisional stage, Takealot disputed the evidential basis and characterisation of the findings. It argued that its operations faced competition from physical retailers and other online businesses; in food delivery it pointed to restaurants’ own delivery and takeaway services and the jobs created by the sector.

attributedOLX (group brand; operating legal entity varies) — La Centrale. Capacity: Business integrated into OLX operations. Period: Source gives 2025-11; exact start and later status depend on the cited record.
- qualification
- The brand endpoint does not automatically identify every contracting legal entity. This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Gross merchandise value is not revenue: Takealot’s US$2 billion GMV must not be substituted for its US$1 billion revenue. Positive PayU adjusted EBITDA does not erase its adjusted EBIT loss. Company-reported scale, user counts and AI benefits are attributed business descriptions, not independently measured outcomes.
- response
- The group describes a broader operating model combining payments, delivery, advertising and travel. Its Indian portfolio included a 16.24% ixigo interest and a 23.52% Rapido interest, while Meesho completed an IPO in December 2025. It reports all three India payment-aggregator licences: online, offline and cross-border.
- outcome
- For FY27 iFood anticipated substantially lower adjusted EBITDA while investing against competition. JET’s total order volumes still declined 7% despite growth in some pilot cities; management’s expected turnaround is a forecast, not an achieved result.

attributedTakealot Group — Competition Commission. Capacity: Operator subject to online-platform inquiry measures. Period: Source gives 2023-07; exact start and later status depend on the cited record.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are market-inquiry findings and remedial measures, not a criminal conviction. A marketplace’s own retail operations and independent merchants are different actors. The archive’s 2022 provisional response should not be presented as a response first issued after the final 2023 decision.
- response
- At the provisional stage, Takealot disputed the evidential basis and characterisation of the findings. It argued that its operations faced competition from physical retailers and other online businesses; in food delivery it pointed to restaurants’ own delivery and takeaway services and the jobs created by the sector.
- outcome
- The final inquiry retained corrective measures. The retained material does not establish a complete later implementation or appeal history for every requirement.
attributedPayU (group brand; legal entities distinguished) — Rapyd. Capacity: Seller of GPO operations to Rapyd; India excluded. Period: Source recorded 2025-05-13; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval. 25 37
- qualification
- The brand endpoint does not automatically identify every contracting legal entity. This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The sale of Global Payments Organisation activities did not mean the sale of PayU’s Indian business. The latest financial report records completion of the European GPO disposal in November 2025. Earlier transaction announcements describe a broader agreed business perimeter and must retain their own date and scope.
- outcome
- FY26 India revenue reached US$781 million and adjusted EBITDA was positive at US$18 million, while adjusted EBIT remained a US$10 million loss. The credit business improved to US$6 million adjusted EBITDA, retaining both the favorable trend and the remaining operating loss.
attributedNaspers Limited — Novus Holdings Limited. Capacity: Group parent connected with proposed Novus transaction. Period: Source recorded 2017-06-08; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Permission to investigate or intervene is not a ruling accepting Caxton’s ultimate-control theory. The 2014 transaction was subsequently abandoned. In the later Novus proceeding, the Tribunal denied intervention on the remaining control issue because divestiture conditions removed it from the merger’s consideration.
- response
- Naspers’ companies argued that reducing Media24’s interest and ending control of Novus made a wider enquiry unnecessary; they offered to reduce the stake further if 19% still conferred control. The Commission’s interpretation differed from Caxton’s on the significance of Wheatfields.
- outcome
- The 2017 Tribunal decision approved the transaction subject to conditions that reduced Media24 to no more than 19% and addressed contractual and information-sharing concerns. It did not resolve every general allegation about Naspers’ ultimate control.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The primary 2017 decision records Media24 holding 66.5% at the hearing and approving a divestment to no more than 19%. A different percentage in contemporaneous reporting does not replace this hearing-specific figure. Earlier proposals, control already implemented and the later divestment must not be collapsed into one timeless ownership link.
- response
- Media24 argued that a residual investment justified a non-operational board nominee and that existing printing arrangements did not amount to foreclosure. The Tribunal noted no evidence of foreclosure to that date and accepted the conditions as addressing the competition concerns.
- outcome
- The conditions terminated the restated management agreement, made printing contracts terminable on six months’ notice, barred Naspers from appointing Novus board or executive-committee members and limited Media24’s nomination right to a person outside its operational publishing management. The Tribunal found de jure control would end and continued de facto control highly unlikely.

attributedVasileios (Basil) Sgourdos — Prosus N.V.. Capacity: Disclosed options; not equivalent to exercised equity. Period: Source recorded 2023-07-13; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are attributed governance criticisms, not regulatory findings or proof of a US$100 million payment. Prosus and Naspers have separate voting results. Advisers to investors are not thereby advisers engaged by the company, and asset-manager voting disclosures do not identify a personal beneficial owner of all managed shares.
- response
- Naspers says its remuneration chair engages investors regularly and that it remains open to dialogue. Its policy makes the moonshot conditional on doubling the combined dollar market value, maintaining that value for a further period and beating median peer shareholder returns. Malus and clawback provisions also apply.
- outcome
- The 2026 Naspers resolutions passed despite substantial N-class opposition. The company said the discount-linked component of short-term incentives paid zero, while the moonshot remained conditional. These distinctions are retained beside the criticism.

The department additionally reported arrests of undocumented foreign workers and two employers during the joint operation. That account does not establish that named Naspers executives were arrested or convicted. Warehouse conditions, contractor conduct and group-level responsibility must be distinguished.

- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are market-inquiry findings and remedial measures, not a criminal conviction. A marketplace’s own retail operations and independent merchants are different actors. The archive’s 2022 provisional response should not be presented as a response first issued after the final 2023 decision.
- response
- At the provisional stage, Takealot disputed the evidential basis and characterisation of the findings. It argued that its operations faced competition from physical retailers and other online businesses; in food delivery it pointed to restaurants’ own delivery and takeaway services and the jobs created by the sector.
- outcome
- The final inquiry retained corrective measures. The retained material does not establish a complete later implementation or appeal history for every requirement.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Carrim’s testimony, journalists’ allegations and the 2017 Pomerantz announcement are different kinds of evidence. A law firm announcing an investigation on behalf of shareholders is not a filed shareholder action or a court finding of securities fraud.
- response
- Naspers said it supported MultiChoice’s review of possible governance failures and took malpractice allegations seriously; it said it had not been informed of investor legal action. In response to Carrim, its spokesperson argued that his allegations did not assert illegal conduct by Naspers and said the company would not exercise its rights to give or test evidence at the inquiry. The Guptas and Jacob Zuma denied wrongdoing in the wider allegations reported by Reuters. The commission’s final report records MultiChoice’s denial of improper lobbying and its statement that it played no role in Carrim’s non-reappointment. It also records a company review acknowledging mistakes in ANN7 dealings and recommending stronger channel-ownership due diligence and escalation.
- outcome
- The final State Capture Commission report, Part V Volume 2, printed page 516, found no evidential basis for fraud or corruption in the MultiChoice lobbying concerned. That limited favorable conclusion must accompany the allegations; it is not a blanket clearance of every contract or a ruling in the separate competition proceedings.

- response
- Naspers says its remuneration chair engages investors regularly and that it remains open to dialogue. Its policy makes the moonshot conditional on doubling the combined dollar market value, maintaining that value for a further period and beating median peer shareholder returns. Malus and clawback provisions also apply.
- outcome

- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Permission to investigate or intervene is not a ruling accepting Caxton’s ultimate-control theory. The 2014 transaction was subsequently abandoned.

- response

- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate.

A different percentage in contemporaneous reporting does not replace this hearing-specific figure. Earlier proposals, control already implemented and the later divestment must not be collapsed into one timeless ownership link.
- response
- Media24 argued that a residual investment justified a non-operational board nominee and that existing printing arrangements did not amount to foreclosure. The Tribunal noted no evidence of foreclosure to that date and accepted the conditions as addressing the competition concerns.
- outcome
- The conditions terminated the restated management agreement, made printing contracts terminable on six months’ notice, barred Naspers from appointing Novus board or executive-committee members and limited Media24’s nomination right to a person outside its operational publishing management. The Tribunal found de jure control would end and continued de facto control highly unlikely.

attributedNaspers Limited — PSG. Capacity: Company whose voting structure faced PSG-led takeover proposal. Period: Source recorded 2006; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval. 48
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate.
attributedJacobus Petrus (Koos) Bekker — Sanlam Limited. Capacity: Buyer through associated vehicle of Sanlam interests. Period: Source recorded 2006; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval. 47 48
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The 2006 statement’s description of control and voting rights is a dated company account. Later Commission analysis and Caxton’s competing interpretation should not be silently replaced by it. Payments made in an acquisition are historical transactions, not continuing executive mandates.
- response
- Bekker said the arrangement was intended to preserve Naspers’ independence and ability to operate internationally. The reported hostile PSG-led proposal illustrated the disparity between a tiny economic percentage and a much larger voting interest.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The primary 2017 decision records Media24 holding 66.5% at the hearing and approving a divestment to no more than 19%. A different percentage in contemporaneous reporting does not replace this hearing-specific figure. Earlier proposals, control already implemented and the later divestment must not be collapsed into one timeless ownership link.
- response
- Media24 argued that a residual investment justified a non-operational board nominee and that existing printing arrangements did not amount to foreclosure. The Tribunal noted no evidence of foreclosure to that date and accepted the conditions as addressing the competition concerns.
- outcome
- The conditions terminated the restated management agreement, made printing contracts terminable on six months’ notice, barred Naspers from appointing Novus board or executive-committee members and limited Media24’s nomination right to a person outside its operational publishing management. The Tribunal found de jure control would end and continued de facto control highly unlikely.
attributedTakealot Group — Competition Commission. Capacity: Operator disputing provisional market-inquiry findings. Period: Source recorded 2022-11-03; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are market-inquiry findings and remedial measures, not a criminal conviction. A marketplace’s own retail operations and independent merchants are different actors. The archive’s 2022 provisional response should not be presented as a response first issued after the final 2023 decision.
- response
- At the provisional stage, Takealot disputed the evidential basis and characterisation of the findings. It argued that its operations faced competition from physical retailers and other online businesses; in food delivery it pointed to restaurants’ own delivery and takeaway services and the jobs created by the sector.
- outcome
- The final inquiry retained corrective measures. The retained material does not establish a complete later implementation or appeal history for every requirement.
attributedTakealot Group — Mr D Food. Capacity: Group food-delivery business. Period: Source recorded 2022-11-03; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are market-inquiry findings and remedial measures, not a criminal conviction. A marketplace’s own retail operations and independent merchants are different actors. The archive’s 2022 provisional response should not be presented as a response first issued after the final 2023 decision. The inquiry included Mr D and Uber Eats as distinct operators. The fact that both appeared in an inquiry does not establish an ownership, partnership or collusion relationship between them.
- response
- At the provisional stage, Takealot disputed the evidential basis and characterisation of the findings. It argued that its operations faced competition from physical retailers and other online businesses; in food delivery it pointed to restaurants’ own delivery and takeaway services and the jobs created by the sector. Takealot’s earlier response emphasised competition from restaurants’ own delivery and takeaway channels and the economic opportunities created by the sector. The separate Uber Eats response in the final-report article is not a Mr D statement.
- outcome
- The final inquiry retained corrective measures. The retained material does not establish a complete later implementation or appeal history for every requirement.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The 2020 pandemic-related reductions were a separate episode. A plan to end a print edition is not necessarily the disappearance of the title’s digital journalism. The applicants’ predictions of lost access and higher distribution costs are preserved as arguments, not converted into established outcomes.
- response
- Media24 attributed its decision to declining print readership and advertising, said migration would occur independently of the asset sale, and described retaining journalists in digital operations. The Competition Appeal Court found that the evidence did not establish the broader composite merger alleged by the applicants.
- outcome
- The court dismissed the urgent application with costs on 24 December 2024. Later reporting said Caxton and Capital Newspapers sought Constitutional Court relief; the retained report does not establish the final result of that later effort.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. A policy statement is evidence of the stated standard and allocation of responsibility, not a certification that each business complied in every incident. Prosus and Naspers policy documents have their own stated scope and approval dates. Outdated portfolio contact lists are not a substitute for an ownership register.

- The company describes whistleblowing channels, responsible vulnerability disclosure and cooperation with external security researchers. These commitments are retained as the company’s account, alongside documented incidents and regulatory scrutiny.

attributedFabricio Bloisi Rocha — Naspers Limited. Capacity: CEO eligible for conditional moonshot award; not a completed payment. Period: Group CEO from 1 July 2024; later record may separately concern committee or award capacity.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are attributed governance criticisms, not regulatory findings or proof of a US$100 million payment. Prosus and Naspers have separate voting results. Advisers to investors are not thereby advisers engaged by the company, and asset-manager voting disclosures do not identify a personal beneficial owner of all managed shares.
- response
- Naspers says its remuneration chair engages investors regularly and that it remains open to dialogue. Its policy makes the moonshot conditional on doubling the combined dollar market value, maintaining that value for a further period and beating median peer shareholder returns. Malus and clawback provisions also apply.
- outcome
- The 2026 Naspers resolutions passed despite substantial N-class opposition. The company said the discount-linked component of short-term incentives paid zero, while the moonshot remained conditional. These distinctions are retained beside the criticism.

They do not establish that Naspers or Prosus was itself designated, or that the buyer was already subject to these particular designations when the transaction closed. A sanctions designation is not a criminal conviction. Personal tax identifiers are unnecessary to explain the public corporate connection and are withheld.

- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The proposed allocation distinguished a 49% economic interest and 20% voting rights for MultiChoice Group from a 27% economic interest for Phuthuma Nathi, with other empowerment consortia and an employee plan involved. Economic and voting percentages are different denominators. The consortia’s leaders are not automatically personal direct shareholders in LicenceCo.
- response
- The companies said the proposed structure addressed foreign-control and empowerment requirements, with services supplied under commercial agreements by other group entities.
- outcome
- Later 2025 reporting records conditional competition approval and commencement of reorganisation steps. Those reports must retain their proposal and implementation dates; approval alone is not proof that every step was already completed. None restores a current Naspers ownership link.
4Legal capacities
attributedNaspers Limited — Competition Commission. Capacity: Participant in regulator’s online-platform inquiry. Period: Source recorded 2021-11-03; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval. 11
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate.
attributedKeeromstraat 30 Beleggings (RF) Limited — Companies and Intellectual Property Commission. Capacity: Applicant whose exemption order was served on CIPC. Period: Source recorded 2023-05-02; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The precise historical vote percentages vary with the date and share denominator. A shared address or a minority stake does not establish an additional controlling owner. The Companies Tribunal granted Keerom a five-year social-and-ethics-committee exemption on 2 May 2023 after considering its narrow activities. That is an authorised exemption, not a finding of misconduct or a group-wide exemption.
- response
- In the 2017 merger dispute, the Competition Commission’s analysis treated Nasbel and Keerom as the controlling pool and did not regard Wheatfields’ minority holdings as conferring control. Caxton disputed that analysis, citing Wheatfields, the Heemstede loop and related interests.
attributedNaspers Limited — Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). Capacity: Subject to Dutch market-regulator requirements. Period: Source recorded 2024-11-27; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval. 156

- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate.
attributedPayU Payments Private Limited (India) — Reserve Bank of India. Capacity: Payment operator subject to RBI authorisation. Period: RBI final payment-aggregator authorisation in retained 2025 report. 25 37
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The sale of Global Payments Organisation activities did not mean the sale of PayU’s Indian business. The latest financial report records completion of the European GPO disposal in November 2025. Earlier transaction announcements describe a broader agreed business perimeter and must retain their own date and scope.
- outcome
- FY26 India revenue reached US$781 million and adjusted EBITDA was positive at US$18 million, while adjusted EBIT remained a US$10 million loss. The credit business improved to US$6 million adjusted EBITDA, retaining both the favorable trend and the remaining operating loss.
attributedNaspers Limited — Caxton. Capacity: Respondent to Caxton’s attempted intervention on control issues. Period: Source recorded 2017-06-08; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Permission to investigate or intervene is not a ruling accepting Caxton’s ultimate-control theory. The 2014 transaction was subsequently abandoned. In the later Novus proceeding, the Tribunal denied intervention on the remaining control issue because divestiture conditions removed it from the merger’s consideration. The precise historical vote percentages vary with the date and share denominator. A shared address or a minority stake does not establish an additional controlling owner. The Companies Tribunal granted Keerom a five-year social-and-ethics-committee exemption on 2 May 2023 after considering its narrow activities. That is an authorised exemption, not a finding of misconduct or a group-wide exemption.
- response
- Naspers’ companies argued that reducing Media24’s interest and ending control of Novus made a wider enquiry unnecessary; they offered to reduce the stake further if 19% still conferred control. The Commission’s interpretation differed from Caxton’s on the significance of Wheatfields. In the 2017 merger dispute, the Competition Commission’s analysis treated Nasbel and Keerom as the controlling pool and did not regard Wheatfields’ minority holdings as conferring control. Caxton disputed that analysis, citing Wheatfields, the Heemstede loop and related interests.
- outcome
- The 2017 Tribunal decision approved the transaction subject to conditions that reduced Media24 to no more than 19% and addressed contractual and information-sharing concerns. It did not resolve every general allegation about Naspers’ ultimate control.

Period: Source recorded 2025-01-24; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval. 173 174
- qualification
- The brand endpoint does not automatically identify every contracting legal entity. This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Funds held in payment accounts are not automatically the payment company’s own corporate assets. Allegations or proceedings concerning the scheme’s promoters are not convictions of PayU, Prosus or Naspers.
- response
- A PayU spokesperson told the newspaper the following day that the reports concerned events in 2022 and that PayU had fully cooperated with the Enforcement Directorate. Other gateways’ separate denials are not attributed to PayU.
- outcome
- The retained material establishes reporting of freezes and an investigation, together with PayU’s response; it does not establish a final adverse judgment against PayU in this matter.
attributedTakealot Group — Information Regulator of South Africa. Capacity: Subject to privacy-regulator jurisdiction; no incident fine established. Period: Source recorded 2026; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval. 73 74
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The report’s discussion of enforcement against a different organisation under South Africa’s privacy law is not a fine imposed on Takealot. The group’s published privacy commitments are relevant standards, not proof that no breach occurred.
- response
- TFS executive Merlin Norman attributed the incident to human error, said an investigation was under way and described staff rebriefing and control measures intended to prevent repetition.
- outcome
- The retained reporting does not establish a subsequent regulatory fine or final enforcement outcome against Takealot for this incident.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The substantial monetary penalties proposed in the pleading were requested enforcement measures, not damages or fines awarded. The archive contains a redacted section for the defendants’ position, so it does not support reconstruction of a full defence from that section.
- response
- The pleading itself records Prosus’ March 2022 statements that it was addressing a small number of military advertisements and separating Avito from OLX, with no further investment or economic benefit and no direct day-to-day involvement. Those statements do not resolve the claimant’s disputed factual account.

- The appeal notice identifies the Amsterdam interim judgment of 15 July 2022 and seeks reversal. Later Loyens & Loeff commentary reports that the claimant withdrew its appeal after Prosus sold Avito and exited Russia.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. This was civil employer liability. The appeal court did not need to decide the separate question of direct vicarious liability for the harasser’s own delict.

- response
- The defence relied in part on a group harassment policy in place since 1997 and raised jurisdictional and liability arguments. A policy’s existence did not answer the proven failure to prevent the harm.
- outcome
- The appeals were dismissed with costs. The historical employer, Nasionale Tydskrifte, was then a wholly owned Media24 subsidiary; that does not establish a current ownership roster.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The competitors’ cited 80% share concerned their asserted market definition; iFood disputed equating the app market with all food delivery. An interim measure and an allegation of non-compliance are not a final finding of every alleged practice.
- response
- Bloisi said iFood considered its conduct lawful, had renewed existing arrangements rather than adding new ones, and had reduced the exclusive-restaurant proportion from 11% to 8%. Other iFood executives cited multi-platform restaurant chains, logistics investment and orders placed directly through restaurants or messaging apps. They disputed informal exclusivity and said they supplied data to Cade weekly.
- outcome
- On 8 February 2023, Cade agreed a 54-month cessation commitment with iFood, monitored by a trustee. It barred exclusivity with brands of at least 30 restaurants and capped smaller-brand exclusivity nationally at 25% of platform GMV and locally at 8% of active restaurants in cities above 500,000 residents. It also restricted price-parity clauses and restraints on competing platforms. This negotiated settlement is the later outcome of the investigation, not a criminal conviction or a blanket clearance of the earlier allegations.

attributedNaspers Limited — Pomerantz LLP. Capacity: Subject of law firm’s announced shareholder investigation; not established filed suit. Period: Source recorded 2017-12-05; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Carrim’s testimony, journalists’ allegations and the 2017 Pomerantz announcement are different kinds of evidence. A law firm announcing an investigation on behalf of shareholders is not a filed shareholder action or a court finding of securities fraud.
- response
- Naspers said it supported MultiChoice’s review of possible governance failures and took malpractice allegations seriously; it said it had not been informed of investor legal action. In response to Carrim, its spokesperson argued that his allegations did not assert illegal conduct by Naspers and said the company would not exercise its rights to give or test evidence at the inquiry. The Guptas and Jacob Zuma denied wrongdoing in the wider allegations reported by Reuters. The commission’s final report records MultiChoice’s denial of improper lobbying and its statement that it played no role in Carrim’s non-reappointment. It also records a company review acknowledging mistakes in ANN7 dealings and recommending stronger channel-ownership due diligence and escalation.
- outcome
- The final State Capture Commission report, Part V Volume 2, printed page 516, found no evidential basis for fraud or corruption in the MultiChoice lobbying concerned. That limited favorable conclusion must accompany the allegations; it is not a blanket clearance of every contract or a ruling in the separate competition proceedings.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Permission to investigate or intervene is not a ruling accepting Caxton’s ultimate-control theory. The 2014 transaction was subsequently abandoned. In the later Novus proceeding, the Tribunal denied intervention on the remaining control issue because divestiture conditions removed it from the merger’s consideration.
- response
- Naspers’ companies argued that reducing Media24’s interest and ending control of Novus made a wider enquiry unnecessary; they offered to reduce the stake further if 19% still conferred control. The Commission’s interpretation differed from Caxton’s on the significance of Wheatfields.
- outcome
- The 2017 Tribunal decision approved the transaction subject to conditions that reduced Media24 to no more than 19% and addressed contractual and information-sharing concerns. It did not resolve every general allegation about Naspers’ ultimate control.

- Bekker said the arrangement was intended to preserve Naspers’ independence and ability to operate internationally. The reported hostile PSG-led proposal illustrated the disparity between a tiny economic percentage and a much larger voting interest.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. PayU Fintech Investments B.V. is a specified Dutch holding vehicle, not a substitute name for every PayU operating company. The 100% links below Prosus do not make Naspers a 100% direct owner of every downstream entity. Nasbel and Keerom expressly disclaimed beneficial ownership of the Remitly shares in that filing. The precise historical vote percentages vary with the date and share denominator. A shared address or a minority stake does not establish an additional controlling owner. The Companies Tribunal granted Keerom a five-year social-and-ethics-committee exemption on 2 May 2023 after considering its narrow activities. That is an authorised exemption, not a finding of misconduct or a group-wide exemption.
- response
- In the 2017 merger dispute, the Competition Commission’s analysis treated Nasbel and Keerom as the controlling pool and did not regard Wheatfields’ minority holdings as conferring control. Caxton disputed that analysis, citing Wheatfields, the Heemstede loop and related interests.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Permission to investigate or intervene is not a ruling accepting Caxton’s ultimate-control theory. The 2014 transaction was subsequently abandoned. In the later Novus proceeding, the Tribunal denied intervention on the remaining control issue because divestiture conditions removed it from the merger’s consideration.
- response
- Naspers’ companies argued that reducing Media24’s interest and ending control of Novus made a wider enquiry unnecessary; they offered to reduce the stake further if 19% still conferred control. The Commission’s interpretation differed from Caxton’s on the significance of Wheatfields.
- outcome
- The 2017 Tribunal decision approved the transaction subject to conditions that reduced Media24 to no more than 19% and addressed contractual and information-sharing concerns. It did not resolve every general allegation about Naspers’ ultimate control.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These disposals are separate from the older high-vote Wheatfields structure. They do not show that Bekker left the chair or disposed of all of his interests, and an asset aggregator’s later valuation is a market snapshot rather than an independently verified personal net-worth figure.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The primary 2017 decision records Media24 holding 66.5% at the hearing and approving a divestment to no more than 19%. A different percentage in contemporaneous reporting does not replace this hearing-specific figure. Earlier proposals, control already implemented and the later divestment must not be collapsed into one timeless ownership link.
- response
- Media24 argued that a residual investment justified a non-operational board nominee and that existing printing arrangements did not amount to foreclosure. The Tribunal noted no evidence of foreclosure to that date and accepted the conditions as addressing the competition concerns.
- outcome
- The conditions terminated the restated management agreement, made printing contracts terminable on six months’ notice, barred Naspers from appointing Novus board or executive-committee members and limited Media24’s nomination right to a person outside its operational publishing management. The Tribunal found de jure control would end and continued de facto control highly unlikely.

These are dated indirect holdings and share counts, before the October 2025 Naspers subdivision. The disclosed 25% interests support the historical economic connection but do not by themselves determine who controlled every Naspers vote. Caxton’s asserted Sanlam–Sholto–Goedgedacht chain is retained as its attributed account, distinct from the company’s own indirect-interest disclosure. A later retirement does not establish disposal of a person’s investments. The 2006 statement’s description of control and voting rights is a dated company account. Later Commission analysis and Caxton’s competing interpretation should not be silently replaced by it. Payments made in an acquisition are historical transactions, not continuing executive mandates.

- At the provisional stage, Takealot disputed the evidential basis and characterisation of the findings. It argued that its operations faced competition from physical retailers and other online businesses; in food delivery it pointed to restaurants’ own delivery and takeaway services and the jobs created by the sector.
- outcome
- The final inquiry retained corrective measures. The retained material does not establish a complete later implementation or appeal history for every requirement.
attributedTakealot Group — Airbnb. Capacity: Co-subject of market inquiry; no business relationship implied. Period: Source recorded 2021-02; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are market-inquiry findings and remedial measures, not a criminal conviction. A marketplace’s own retail operations and independent merchants are different actors.

attributediFood — Abrasel. Capacity: Subject of restaurant-association complaint and disputed market-share estimate. Period: Source recorded 2022-08-25; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval. 144 145
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. The competitors’ cited 80% share concerned their asserted market definition; iFood disputed equating the app market with all food delivery. An interim measure and an allegation of non-compliance are not a final finding of every alleged practice.
- response
- Bloisi said iFood considered its conduct lawful, had renewed existing arrangements rather than adding new ones, and had reduced the exclusive-restaurant proportion from 11% to 8%. Other iFood executives cited multi-platform restaurant chains, logistics investment and orders placed directly through restaurants or messaging apps. They disputed informal exclusivity and said they supplied data to Cade weekly.
- outcome
- On 8 February 2023, Cade agreed a 54-month cessation commitment with iFood, monitored by a trustee. It barred exclusivity with brands of at least 30 restaurants and capped smaller-brand exclusivity nationally at 25% of platform GMV and locally at 8% of active restaurants in cities above 500,000 residents. It also restricted price-parity clauses and restraints on competing platforms. This negotiated settlement is the later outcome of the investigation, not a criminal conviction or a blanket clearance of the earlier allegations.

attributedNaspers Limited — Yunus Carrim. Capacity: Company responding to former minister’s testimony; allegations disputed. Period: Source recorded 2020-02-25; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Carrim’s testimony, journalists’ allegations and the 2017 Pomerantz announcement are different kinds of evidence. A law firm announcing an investigation on behalf of shareholders is not a filed shareholder action or a court finding of securities fraud.
- response
- Naspers said it supported MultiChoice’s review of possible governance failures and took malpractice allegations seriously; it said it had not been informed of investor legal action. In response to Carrim, its spokesperson argued that his allegations did not assert illegal conduct by Naspers and said the company would not exercise its rights to give or test evidence at the inquiry. The Guptas and Jacob Zuma denied wrongdoing in the wider allegations reported by Reuters. The commission’s final report records MultiChoice’s denial of improper lobbying and its statement that it played no role in Carrim’s non-reappointment. It also records a company review acknowledging mistakes in ANN7 dealings and recommending stronger channel-ownership due diligence and escalation.
- outcome
- The final State Capture Commission report, Part V Volume 2, printed page 516, found no evidential basis for fraud or corruption in the MultiChoice lobbying concerned. That limited favorable conclusion must accompany the allegations; it is not a blanket clearance of every contract or a ruling in the separate competition proceedings.

attributedFabricio Bloisi Rocha — Ervin Tu. Capacity: Succeeded interim chief executive. Period: Succession announced 17 May 2024 and effective 1 July 2024.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Joining a group, being its CFO and becoming a statutory director are different events. Marais’ Naspers directorship was effective with his permanent appointment; the announcement anticipated a separate Prosus appointment after shareholder approval. Aggregator dates that differ by a day or incorrectly place all appointments in December 2024 are not adopted.
- response
- The board praised Bloisi’s operating experience and discipline. Jefferies analysts preferred a capital allocator and questioned whether an owner-operator’s skills fitted the holding-company role; UBS saw potential in the Bloisi–Tu combination. These were attributed appointment-time assessments, not findings of misconduct.
attributedProsus N.V. — Institutional Shareholder Services. Capacity: Company covered by proxy-adviser recommendation; no retainer established. Period: Source recorded 2026-08-26; underlying appointment or transaction date and later status are not inferred from retrieval.
- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. These are attributed governance criticisms, not regulatory findings or proof of a US$100 million payment. Prosus and Naspers have separate voting results. Advisers to investors are not thereby advisers engaged by the company, and asset-manager voting disclosures do not identify a personal beneficial owner of all managed shares.
- response
- Naspers says its remuneration chair engages investors regularly and that it remains open to dialogue. Its policy makes the moonshot conditional on doubling the combined dollar market value, maintaining that value for a further period and beating median peer shareholder returns. Malus and clawback provisions also apply.
- outcome
- The 2026 Naspers resolutions passed despite substantial N-class opposition. The company said the discount-linked component of short-term incentives paid zero, while the moonshot remained conditional. These distinctions are retained beside the criticism.

- qualification
- This source-qualified capacity is not a finding of shared liability or a certification of a current mandate. Permission to investigate or intervene is not a ruling accepting Caxton’s ultimate-control theory. The 2014 transaction was subsequently abandoned. In the later Novus proceeding, the Tribunal denied intervention on the remaining control issue because divestiture conditions removed it from the merger’s consideration.
- response
- Naspers’ companies argued that reducing Media24’s interest and ending control of Novus made a wider enquiry unnecessary; they offered to reduce the stake further if 19% still conferred control. The Commission’s interpretation differed from Caxton’s on the significance of Wheatfields.
- outcome
- The 2017 Tribunal decision approved the transaction subject to conditions that reduced Media24 to no more than 19% and addressed contractual and information-sharing concerns. It did not resolve every general allegation about Naspers’ ultimate control.

- At the provisional stage, Takealot disputed the evidential basis and characterisation of the findings. It argued that its operations faced competition from physical retailers and other online businesses; in food delivery it pointed to restaurants’ own delivery and takeaway services and the jobs created by the sector.
