Summary:
"Henry Kuiper is remembered as a wunderkind, still in his early thirties, who grabbed the ailing Sunday Times/Rand Daily Mail group by the neck, replaced editors, brought in a new work ethic and placed it firmly on the road to success. Denied the well-earned position of chairman, he re-directed his talents into banking, finance and industry, serving as chairman of a number of blue-chip companies. Then, in his mid-eighties, he started the Enlightened Education Trust in Hermanus which earned him and his wife a Mayoral Award for their 'Lifetime dedication and excellent, unselfish contribution to the community of the Overstrand." --Publisher's description.
