GUEST: Laurence Rapp – CEO, Vukile Property Fund
In this episode of KayaBiz, we speak with Laurence Rapp, CEO of Vukile Property Fund, as the company reports standout results in a year defined by bold expansion, smart capital deployment, and record-breaking operational performance. With property assets now exceeding R50 billion and robust growth across both local and international portfolios, Vukile is charting a clear course for the future.
We unpack how Vukile’s township and rural retail centres outperformed with 6.7% trading density growth, and how its shopper-first strategy is driving footfall and resilience across 33 South African malls. Rapp also shares insights into Vukile’s aggressive move into Portugal, smart exits in Spain, and a growing Iberian portfolio that now accounts for 65% of the group’s assets.
