It was $160 million, which is the size of many IPOs.
Yeah, I'm very excited.
I'm speaking to you from a sheep farming town, 200 kilometers from the nearest coffee machine in rural South Africa.
Well, that's the one thing I have.
I have, in fairness, we invested in a very good coffee machine here because there's none that are available.
And that was my requirement.
When my wife wanted me to move here, I said, if you give me a really, really good coffee machine, I'll do it.
Why'd she want you to move there?
Um, we start, I tell people we move here to start breeding.
So we started having our first kid here, uh, five years ago, Max, he's, uh, almost five now.
That's correct.
But,
When you move to a sheep farming town, you pick up the vernacular of the locals, right?
So I know a lot more about sheep farming than I did when I got here, I'll tell you that much.
Anyways, we came here because we've always been digital nomads, if you like, for the last 10, 15 years.
And when it came to settle down, we just wanted to be near family.
But we had a world-class business, even from a small town like this, and that's what we're doing.
So no, we're outside Port Elizabeth.
It's in a place called a Karoo, which is technically a desert.
But yeah.
