Closure of our Centurion Branch

Our Centurion branch was opened on 2 January 2001 under the control of the Late Smartryk Trurnicht and Monte Wessels. Over the years additional members of staff have joined and moved on such as Sidney Launpach who opened and now runs our Durban branch.

Sadly we have come to the point that, post the tragic death of Smartryk Trurnicht, Monte Wessels cannot continue in isolation and have decided to relocate Monte to service our Centurion clients from the Sandton office effective 1 April 2012 (tel: 011 290 7800 email: montew@afrifocus.co.za).

Monte will have the resources of the full research team as well as the members of the equities and derivatives team at his disposal which will ensure that he has a constant flow of information he requires to service your needs, and in fact, would be able to provide a higher level of service and information given the resources he will have at his disposal.

Monte will still be meeting with clients, at least once a week, at the Centurion office should such meetings be required and we will still be holding Investment seminars as normal at the Centurion premises.

Some of you, who previously dealt with Smartryk, are already dealing with Sidney and we trust that Sidney has continued to provide you with a high level of service we expect him to deliver. The remainder of Smartryks clients are now being looked after by Monte. Kindly contact Monte or Sidney (tel: 031 584 6491 email: sidneyl@afrifocus.co.za) - should you not have been contacted by either, over the last two to three weeks, to keep you abreast of developments.

We assure you of the best of service and investment advice.

Yours sincelerly,

Ashvin Mancha
