Naspers Pay-TV CEO To Take a Break and Pursue New Interests

Naspers Limited (JSE: NPN) (LSE: NPSN) CEO, Koos Bekker, announced today that Eben Greyling, CEO of the Naspers pay-television segment, has decided to take a break and pursue new interests after more than 18 years with the group.

Bekker said: “Eben has been instrumental in building our successful pay-TV businesses across the continent. Under his leadership over the last five years the subscriber base and turnover of the pay-TV businesses more than doubled. We thank him for his great contribution and sterling service to the group. We wish him all the best as he takes a break to prepare for the next phase of his career.”

Greyling, who joined the group in 1996, said: “Working for the Naspers group has been a wonderful journey. I learned a lot, enjoyed great opportunities, we worked hard and had to overcome many challenges, but also had fun in doing so. I am proud to have been part of an amazing team in the Naspers pay-TV business.”

“At the same time we are also pleased to welcome back Jim Volkwyn, who kindly agreed to step back into the business and will take over the reins from 1 April,” said Bekker. The handover process will start immediately and Eben also agreed to be available on an ad hoc basis to provide assistance if required.
