Markus Jooste left his wife three firearms, eight vehicles, various artworks, two policies, a retirement annuity, and almost R74 000 in cash – but it is not clear what she will receive.
Following his death, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) said that it was legally entitled to recover a fine of R475 million from Jooste's estate. The fine, for publishing misleading financial statements for Steinhoff, was imposed just days before he died. Also, the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has already frozen some of the Jooste's assets named in the will.
