Meet the CEOs – The Personalities Behind Africa’s Payments War

In this exclusive Empire & Legacy bonus episode, we go deeper than the headlines. Pieter Engelbrecht (Shoprite) and Kenny Fihla (Absa) aren’t just CEOs — they’re the embodiment of two very different approaches to power. Engelbrecht, forged in retail’s trenches, weaponises accessibility and empathy. Fihla, shaped by banking’s corridors of control, plays the long game with precision and poise.

Their backgrounds, values, and personalities determined every strategic strike and misstep in the battle to dominate everyday payments across Africa. If you want to understand leadership that wins under pressure — and the mindset gaps that lose empires — you can’t miss this.
