Sekunjalo Group

Sekunjalo Investment Holdings is a South African private equity firm founded in 1997 by businessman Iqbal Survé and three partners. The company was established with principles of “social justice, broad-based economic participation, and inclusion,” emphasizing what it describes as “a gentler capitalism” focused on people before profits. Sekunjalo operates across multiple sectors, including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, fisheries, and media. In August 2013, the company acquired a 55% stake in Independent News & Media South Africa for approximately 150 million dollars, with funding largely provided by the government-owned Public Investment Corporation.
