Multichoice South Africa boss resigns
Media group Multichoice has announced that Multichoice South Africa (MCSA) and Showmax chief executive Mark Jury has resigned, and will leave the group on 31 March 2025.
Jury has been at the group for ten years and has held key leadership roles at the company, including head of Supersport, MCSA and Showmax.
The group said that Jury would continue to work at the company the next four months to ensure a seamless handover to his successor, Byron du Plessis, who will take over the role of MCSA CEO on 1 December 2024.
Du Plessis has been at Multichoice for 13 years and is currently the deputy chief financial officer for the group, working as CFO of Multichoice Corporate and MCSA before that.
“Du Plessis has been pivotal in driving strategic initiatives and partnerships, including the KingMakers, Comcast and Sanlam deals, as well as being instrumental in the ongoing Canal+ acquisition process,” Multichoice said.
“While this is a bittersweet moment for us as we bid farewell to Marc, we are confident in Byron’s ability to build on this legacy and take MultiChoice South Africa to even greater heights.”
