Winhold was incorporated in the Republic of South Africa on 29 September 1945 and operates as an investment holding company. The company was listed on the main board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) under the industrial Goods and Services Sector up until October 2017, at which point it was bought and delisted by Wafima Manufacturing and Distribution Holdings (Pty) Ltd.
Wafima Manufacturing and Distribution Holdings (Pty) Ltd, is 100% owned by CEO and executive chairman Zola Fubu, thus as a consequence both Winhold (Pty) Ltd and Wafima Manufacturing and Distribution Holdings (Pty) Ltd are 100% black owned investment entities.
The group employs over 700 people across the African continent to service and maintain three primary trading operations.
