For future reference relating to online journalism, it is not the correct etiquette to modify/delete any part of a published work, without leaving a trail (i.e. strikethrough on the text). That said, the offending paragraph is best left out of this article. I notice that the last paragraph that I was referring to was removed.

However, as an entrepreneur, he has probably created more wealth for investors (through his various listed entities) than any other person in South African history. His record of entrepreneurship speaks for itself.

If we, as a society, we are to rate entrepreneurs on their ability to create wealth and alleviate poverty (in emerging markets in particular), and not their background (whether they be rich or poor), then surely Johann Rupert deserves a far better ending paragraph, than the one so poorly written in this article.
