Phuthuma Nathi, the MultiChoice South Africa’s broad-based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) share scheme, is calling on shareholders and families of deceased shareholders to come forward and claim dividends owed to them.
Since 2020, Phuthuma Nathi has run an annual national campaign to locate shareholders with unclaimed dividends dating back to 2006. Thanks to these efforts, more than R125 million has already been paid out, but more than R270 million in dividends remain unclaimed.
