This spring he committed $20 million to six major high-rise developments in Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, and earmarked $100 million more to be spent in the next five to seven years. Included in the plans: a giant business center containing twin 15-story office buildings, a tower of 100 apartments and a 250-car parking lot.
