Foundation

In 1985, Koos Bekker led the founding committee behind M-Net, a Television platform operator in South Africa.[2]

In 1990, M-net was introduced to Johannesburg Stock market. In 1991, the company changed its name to MIH Ltd and was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.[3]

In 1995, MIH and Richemont joined their assets to form NetHold. Koos Bekker was appointed NetHold’s first general director.[4]

The company was on the verge of signing a deal with DirecTV but the partnership was dismissed.[7]

Merging with CANAL+

The union of NetHold and CANAL+ garnered 8.5 million subscribers.[10] The group is present in France, Spain, Italy and Germany with a large audience in Scandinavian countries.[11]

The Board of directors of the merging venture includes representatives of CANAL+’s major shareholder Havas, Compagnie des eaux and NetHold’s shareholders Richemont and MIH.[12]
