Primary Evidence
"In the starting years Rupert not only sold shares with great enthusiasm, but also bought shares out of his own salary in the Rembrandt Trust, the holding company of the Rembrandt Group. Rembrandt Tabakkorporasie was listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in 1956 and, like TIB and Tegkor, it became an investment of a lifetime."

"TIB was registered on 16 March 1943 and would eventually develop into a company with diversified interests in tobacco, liquor, coal mines, wool brokers, tea and coffee. Contrary to what is sometimes told in business circles, Rupert already started to diversify at a very early stage in his career."
