The Foundation Planning To Buy Curro

Guest - Jan Mouton- Deputy Chairman for the Jannie Mouton Foundation.
The Jannie Mouton Foundation, a major shareholder in Curro Holdings, has signalled its intent to buy out the private school group. This potential transaction could reshape South Africa’s independent education landscape, giving the Foundation full control of the country’s largest listed school operator.
With nearly 72,000 learners across its network, Curro has been under pressure from slowing enrolments and rising economic strain on households. A buyout by the Foundation would not only reflect confidence in the long-term demand for private education but could also free the business from short-term market pressures, enabling it to focus on growth, efficiency, and educational excellence.
