Johannesburg, South Africa – 23 October 2025:
The Radisson Blu Hotel in Sandton set the stage for one of the most elegant and insightful evenings in South Africa’s property investment calendar — the Prosperity Enterprises Property Investors Evening.
Dressed to perfection in tuxedos and evening gowns, guests filled the five-star ballroom to celebrate a decade of Prosperity Enterprises. The atmosphere was electric — a blend of luxury, learning, and inspiration.

A Line-Up of Industry Leaders
Jaco Grobbelaar – Prosperity Enterprises
Founder and CEO Jaco Grobbelaar delivered several powerful talks throughout the evening. In his first address, he focused on structuring property portfolios correctly — advising investors to purchase properties through companies, with shares held by a Holdings Trust, ensuring both protection and scalability.

Later, Jaco closed the evening with an inspiring session on scaling your portfolio for long-term wealth, where he discussed the principles of leverage — Other People’s Money (OPM), Other People’s Skills (OPS), and Other People’s Time (OPT) — and the unmatched value of consistency and mindset in creating generational wealth.

Sello Sekele – ABSA Bank
Sello provided an insightful macroeconomic overview on global property trends and South Africa’s economic trajectory. He discussed the expected gradual reduction of interest rates by 100 basis points over the next two years and a strengthening rand outlook — both highly positive signals for property investors. His perspective reaffirmed confidence in the resilience of the South African market.
Mariette van Zyl – KVV Attorneys
Mariette’s talk provided vital insights into the conveyancing process. She stressed the importance of investors appointing their own conveyancer — rather than the seller’s — and ensuring that a trusted legal partner forms part of every property investor’s team.
Marleze Moller – My Home Loans
Marleze highlighted that investors can still obtain 100% financing within company structures. She unpacked how using a bond originator can dramatically enhance financing success and portfolio expansion.
Neale Petersen – Real Estate Investor
Kicking off the evening, Neale Petersen captivated the audience with an empowering message on mindset and mental discipline. He emphasised the importance of guarding your mind against negativity — reminding investors that what you allow in will determine what you produce. His talk set the tone for a night focused on growth, wisdom, and intentional thinking.
Karin Mallett – Lightstone
Karin shared fascinating data on property market trends and growth forecasts. She revealed that Gauteng remains the leader in transaction volumes. The average age of buyers are now at 38.
Around 50% of all property purchases in South Africa are currently cash deals, while national price growth sits at 3.2%, complemented by rental yields that boost overall returns.
She also noted that the Western Cape leads in year-on-year growth at 7.61%, while Gauteng recorded 2.52% — offering investors a clear view of where the strongest growth opportunities currently lie.
Elize le Roux – Xpello
Elize addressed one of investors’ biggest concerns — legal eviction management. Her talk on minimising risk and maximising ROI provided actionable advice on preventing evictions, handling non-paying tenants, and protecting investors from unnecessary financial loss.
Michael Rehder – Advanced Design & Maintenance
Michael offered a practical and inspiring presentation on maximising property value through strategic renovations. He demonstrated that impactful renovations don’t need massive budgets — small changes in bathrooms and kitchens can significantly increase property value and appeal.
Michael Brink – Century 21
Michael inspired attendees with his blueprint for success in student housing investment. He unpacked why student accommodation continues to outperform many other property types in net rental yields and shared practical steps to build a profitable student-housing portfolio.
Nicci Roussos – Match! Property Sales, Rentals & Management
Nicci shared her expertise on effective property management to maximise returns. She discussed the importance of setting the correct rental amount, screening tenants carefully, conducting formal inspections, and acting promptly on maintenance issues — all key to protecting and growing one’s investment.
A Night to Remember
Beyond the powerful content, the evening was filled with celebration, connection, and inspiration.
Guests networked with CEOs and senior executives from South Africa’s leading property and finance companies, creating meaningful partnerships and collaborations for the year ahead.
The cake-cutting ceremony to mark Prosperity Enterprises’ 10-year anniversary was a highlight — a moment of gratitude, reflection, and renewed vision for the decade ahead.
As the evening drew to a close with networking and socialising late into the night, one message rang clear: Prosperity Enterprises is not just a company — it’s a movement shaping the future of property investment in South Africa.
