2024 presented many challenges for dealmakers in South Africa, as
the country faced the impact of the national elections, muted
economic growth, high interest rates and foreign exchange
concerns. To discuss the evolving landscape of the consumer
sector, Karen Van Der Westhuizen, Head of Consumer Sector for
South Africa at Standard Bank is joined by Michael Dempster, Head
of Consumer Mergers & Acquisitions at Standard Bank; and
Zanelle Scheepers from the M&A team at Pepkor.
