One man was headhunted by Koos Bekker and made Naspers R3 trillion – then lost his job

• Koos Bekker did not 'headhunt' Hans Hawinkels, but rather offered him a job at Naspers in the 1990s to distribute M-Net across Africa.
• Hans Hawinkels played a key role in developing digital encryption technology with Irdeto, which enabled the launch of DStv in South Africa.
• Hawinkels was subsequently pushed out of Naspers after the company's investment in Tencent, which has become the company's most valuable asset.
