Billionaire Rupert Targeted in South Africa Anti-Colonialism Rally

A South African left-wing party plans to picket outside a wine estate and other farms owned by the nation’s richest man to mark the day colonialism started in the country.

The Economic Freedom Fighters, the second-largest opposition party, said its president, Julius Malema, will lead the protest at wine farms in the Western Cape province owned by Richemont’s controlling shareholder and chairman Johann Rupert, 71, on Wednesday to mark the day the Dutchman Jan van Riebeeck first arrived in the country. The party will also picket at Rupert’s properties in the northern Mpumalanga province.
