Banker Michael Jordaan is off duty and about to enjoy the fruits of his second job: wine farming.
Jordaan, 43 -- head of FirstRand Ltd.’s retail banking unit, First National Bank -- arrives for dinner at La Cucina Di Ciro, a popular Italian restaurant in Johannesburg’s leafy Parktown North suburb. He’s carrying two bottles of his wines, which he opens as soon as he’s whipped off his jacket and tie.
