Noo I have always thought it was owned by a Kenyan lady Mary Okello. You can see somewhere they noted South African education multinational ADvTech.

Makini Schools were acquired by ADvTECH, a Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed private education provider, in partnership with UK-based Scholé Limited (April 2018). The founders, Dr. Mary Okello and her late husband, sold a controlling stake in the institution.

Makini Schools owner ADvTECH reported a 60.7% rise in Kenya net profit to R68.6 million (Sh545.4m) in 2025, up from R42.7 million in 2024. Growth was driven by rising enrolment and strong demand for the premium Cambridge International curriculum as the group expanded locally

South African edu-firm ADvTECH reports a 60.7% surge in Kenya net profit to Sh545.4M for 2025, driven by higher student enrolment & booming demand for the premium Cambridge curriculum at Makini and Crawford schools. Plans underway to launch Rosebank University.

If the South African government effectively delivered core public services (reliable electricity via Eskom, functional public hospitals and clinics, quality public schools, safe public transport and roads, effective policing, a competent post office, and related basics like water), several private industries and companies would face significant revenue declines or contraction. These sectors currently thrive by filling gaps left by state failure, often at a premium for middle- and upper-income South Africans (and some businesses).112 This is not exhaustive but covers the most directly impacted multimillion- and billion-rand players based on market dynamics. 1. Private Healthcare (Hospitals, Clinics, Emergency Services, Pathology) Public hospitals are overcrowded, under-resourced, and often poor quality, driving demand for private care (medical aid-funded). A well-run public system would reduce reliance on private options, hitting hospital groups, day clinics, and related services hard.15 •Major companies: Netcare Ltd, Mediclinic Group Ltd (now under Remgro influence), Life Healthcare Group. Others include Lenmed, Busamed, Cure Day Hospitals. Pathology: Ampath, Lancet. Emergency: ER24 (linked to Mediclinic/Netcare).24 2. Private Education (Schools and Tertiary) Public schools underperform dramatically relative to spending, pushing parents toward independents. Private providers would see enrollment drops, especially mid-to-premium tiers.1135 •Major companies: Curro Holdings (largest independent school group, ~180 schools/campuses), ADvTECH (Crawford, Trinity House, etc., plus tertiary like Varsity College), STADIO Holdings (tertiary-focused). Smaller players and tutors would also suffer.42 3. Private Security and Related Services (Guarding, Armed Response, Vehicle Tracking) High crime and ineffective policing have created one of the world’s largest private security industries. Better policing would shrink demand for guards, response teams, and tech add-ons.25 •Major companies: Fidelity Services Group (incl. ADT), Bidvest Protea Coin, G4S, Securitas, Afri Guard, iMvula. Vehicle tracking: Cartrack, MiX Telematics, Netstar, Tracker.33 4. Alternative Energy and Backup Power (Solar, Generators, Inverters, Batteries) Eskom’s chronic failures (load shedding historically) drove massive private investment in self-generation. Reliable grid power would slash demand for backups, though rising tariffs might sustain some solar economics.49 •Impacted sectors: Diesel generator suppliers/installers, solar EPCs (engineering, procurement, construction), inverter/battery firms (e.g., those tied to residential/commercial installs). Many SMEs and large firms (mines, manufacturers) invested billions in on-site capacity; this market would cool sharply.45 5. Private Transport, Logistics, and Minibus Taxis Poor public transport (PRASA, municipal buses) and unreliable rail/roads boost private options, including the massive informal taxi industry.2 •Impacted: Ride-hailing (Uber, Bolt), private bus operators, and the taxi associations (huge economic player, though informal). Freight/logistics firms also benefit from rail/port failures (Transnet issues). 6. Private Courier, Express, and Parcel Services The South African Post Office’s collapse (delays, losses, branch closures) handed the e-commerce boom to privates. Reliable public postal service would reclaim market share.55 •Major companies: The Courier Guy, PostNet, RAM Hand-to-Hand, DPD Laser, Aramex, DHL, FedEx, Paxi (Pep), Takealot’s fulfillment/delivery network.61 7. Bottled Water, Purification, and Related Consumer Goods Unreliable municipal water drives sales of purifiers, bottled water, and home systems in many areas. x.com/i/grok/share/1cd11bd42…

Month 5 (May) of my @smalltalkdaily Top Stocks of 2026 updated and I remain ahead of my benchmark indices but May was a brutal month for markets Top Stocks 1.76% (versus 6.43% in April) Small Cap Index 0.05% Mid Cap Index -6.0% Difficult month for the 10 stocks selected (Only) Best performers change month-on-month $JSEADH AdvTech 0.2% $JSEART Argent Industrial 0.6% Worst performers change month-on-month $JSECPR Copper 360 -12.7% $JSEMTH Motus -8.0% $JSERLO Reunert -7.4% $JSEPMR Premier Group -6.2% 7 months to go yet but markets do look very wobbly and indifferent so maybe the "sell in May and go away" mantra would have been the best scenario ... but I can't as the list is cast in stone for a year

The mushrooming of private education across SA is a massive multi-billion rand industry. No one can deny that schools like Curro, AdvTech, Spark, Eduvos, and MEL International are very good. They provide elite environments and solid academic results that parents trust. ​● CURRO: ~71,700 learners | Fees R2,750–R8,800 pm | Revenue: R5.4 Bn ● ADVTECH Schools: ~30,000 learners | Fees up to R12,000 pm | Revenue: R3.4 Bn ● EDUVOS: ~23,000 students | Avg ~R6,000 pm | Revenue: ~R1.6 Bn (Estimated) ● SPARK: ~17,000 learners | Avg R3,000–R3,900 pm | Revenue: ~R700 Million (Estimated) ●MEL International: ~700 learners | Avg R3,500 pm | Revenue: ~R29 Million (Estimated) With zero gov subsidies allowed for for-profit operators, families carry the entire financial weight of this private empire. Exceptional schooling.
