Business Maverick: Markus Jooste fined R15m, banned from directorships at listed companies for 20 years

The false invoice inflated Steinhoff at Work’s income for the 15 months ended September 2016 by R376,649,872, which in turn inflated the income of the group’s income. The JSE noted that, “Directors of issuers fulfil a critical role in ensuring that listed companies comply with the Listings Requirements.
