JSE Roundup: Chairman Peter Levy Resigns as EDUFOCAL Chairman and 4 Dividend Declarations

• EduFocal Limited announces the resignation of its Chairman of the Board, Peter Levy, effective June 13, 2025, after 12 years of distinguished service.
• Since assuming the role in 2013, Mr. Levy has played a critical role in EduFocal’s growth—from a startup focused on exam preparation to a publicly listed company now undergoing bold transformation.
• Levy’s resignation from the board comes at a time of major expansion for BCIC, the company he leads as Managing Director. With BCIC’s recent acquisition of JN General Insurance, Mr. Levy will be dedicating even greater focus to this transformative integration and the future of the enlarged business.
• Commenting on the retirement, CEO Gordon Swaby said: “It has been an honour to work alongside Peter. Over the past 12 years, he has been a pillar of strength and stability for EduFocal. We are deeply grateful for his contributions and wish him continued success as he leads BCIC into this exciting new chapter.”
