Peers honour Didata and Rupert

SOUTH Africa's captains of industry this week voted Johann Rupert, executive chairman of Rembrandt, as Business Times' Businessman of the Year for 1996. Information technology group Dimension Data won the newspaper's Top Company award.

Both awards were announced at the Business Times Top 100 Companies banquet in Midrand on Tuesday night.

The Businessman of the Year was selected by the chief executives of last year's Top 100 companies. Imperial Holdings' Bill Lynch won the award last year and Gencor's Brian Gilbertson in 1994. Didata was the Top Company because it gave shareholders the highest share-price returns over the past five years.

An overview of South Africa's best performing companies - as well as an analysis of the economic, social and financial trends affecting the corporate world - appears in the Top 100 Companies survey which comes as an insert in your Sunday Times today. The 36-page survey is also available on our Internet site at http://www.btimes.co.za.
