Brian Roberts
Brian Roberts served as RMH Holdings’ nominated representative on the Atterbury Property Holdings (APH) board from July 2017 until his removal in 2024–2025. His removal followed a period of public conflict between RMH and Louis van der Watt over Atterbury’s refusal to pay dividends or sell assets at RMH’s preferred timeline — what the parties described as “strategic misalignment.” Roberts’s removal marked the second major public disagreement in the RMH-Atterbury relationship (the first being Atterbury’s 2023 decision to settle a R487 million loan in shares rather than cash). Despite his removal, Albie Cilliers retained a board seat at APH, maintaining activist presence at the asset level.
