.....watched Carte Blanche last night and caught an insert about this Louis Leibenburg oke that is supposed to be/have been a diamond tycoon and went t!ts up with about ZAR20BAR of investors money back in 2010ish.....bragged that he bought a few race horses so he could sit at a table with Mrs Oppenheimer....:ohmy:

Byron Kennedy, the marketing manager of Bloodstock SA, said there had been an impressive 30 percent year-on-year increase in the aggregate and average prices, underlining the upswing in the South African horse racing industry.

Bloodstock SA is the marketing arm of the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association.

"The synergies between the racing and casino industries in similar sponsorship deals are proving successful," Kennedy said. "Grandwest Casino reported boosted hotel occupancy rates as a result of bookings from the racing fraternity and an increase in aggregate expenditure on the casino floors as well."

He said an example of the "great synergy" had occurred at Emperors Palace, which invited about 80 of its "high rollers" to the national yearling sale. Platinum card holder Louis Liebenberg attended "out of curiosity" and spent between R3 million and R4 million. He had never owned a horse before.

....well it seems this oke has carried on with dodge diamond investments again and through social media has new investors on the hook for 9 BAR.....:whistle:

• In a statement on Monday, Liebenberg’s spokesperson, Dirk Lotriet, indicated that the Jacob Zuma benefactor would be contesting the elections in four provinces.
