Requirements, RMI shareholders are advised of the retirement of
the following directors:
- GT Ferreira (chairman);
- Jan Dreyer;
- Pat Goss (lead independent director); and
- Khehla Shubane.
GT Ferreira has been involved in the financial services sector
since graduating from the University of Stellenbosch. He was a co-
founder of Rand Consolidated Investments in 1977, which acquired
control of Rand Merchant Bank in 1985. When RMB Holdings was
founded in 1987, he was appointed chairman, a position he still
holds. He has been RMI’s chairman since its inception in December
2010 and a driving force behind the group’s value creation and
relentless pursuit of high values. In a stellar career, he was
instrumental in building leading businesses such as FirstRand,
Discovery, MMI and OUTsurance.
In April, GT will turn 70 and reach the point of compulsory
retirement. He will be replaced as chairman by Jannie Durand, the
current deputy chairman, effective 31 March 2018.
GT’s legacy will remain as a set of unique values instilled in
RMI. These values will ensure that the set strategy is implemented
with integrity and discipline to create further value for
stakeholders.
Joining GT are Jan Dreyer, Pat Goss and Khehla Shubane. Together,
these four directors have a combined service of more than 130
years at RMI and its predecessor companies. RMI would like to
thank these directors for their wisdom, innovation and commitment
to the group.
The effective date of retirement for Messrs Ferreira, Dreyer and
Shubane is 31 March 2018 and for Mr Goss is 10 April 2018. The
appointment of a lead independent director to replace Pat Goss
