TiWheel Directors Quit, Factory Remains Shut

Bidvest’s Alan Salomon tendered his resignation from the board of Tiger Wheel Limited on July 18, one day after the resignation of Brian Joffe was received. According to Tiger Wheel founder and chairman Eddie Keizan, the two men alternated as directors with each other, so once the first resignation was given it was logical that the second was imminent. Salomon’s was given a day later as he was travelling overseas.

The company’s factory in Babelegi, about 40km from Pretoria, has been closed and is not permitted to recommence operations until given the all clear by the liquidators. In the meantime, according to Keizan, customers have been left “shouting for wheels.”
