“From the onset the founders of CIH had one common mission and goal, and that was for CIH to be participant Black Empowerment players in the mainstream economy of South Africa. The company has achieved its initial goal and is currently in the second phase of its growth; which is a consolidation phase so as to leverage its assets to become significant players in the industries in which we have invested.
As executives of CIH we are also committed as responsible corporate citizens in our country to make a difference in the communities in which we operate.”
