1. INTRODUCTIONa) The activities and sectors in which the company operates. The Kagiso Trust was established in May 1985 with funding from the European Union and the Special Rescue Program for the Support of Victims of Apartheid. It grew from a small unit to a national operation and from 1985 to 1994 the Kagiso Trust had an easily accessible source of funding from donors, mainly from the European Union. Although it was difficult to access these funds after 1994, in order to secure a sustainable source of funding and to leverage existing investments, Kagiso Trust Investment (KTI) was established, which capitalized from the modest reserves it had accumulated at era and with a loan of 5 million dollars from JP Morgan.

But back home, while the new privilege had brought opportunities to Kagiso Media, there were also disadvantages. Their competitor East Coast Radio in KwaZulu Natal had already been terminated as there was no immediate competition and claimed a 20% increase in female listeners and 28% increase in black listeners. This didn't stop Kagiso, he bought the entire station with others proportionately owned by the shareholders. However, the situation almost reversed in 2001, when New Africa Investments (Nail) entered the scene because its shareholders (Kagiso) believed that rules governing broadcast ownership limited growth..
