Patrice Motsepe is edging closer to a personal milestone few on the continent have reached. As his fortune hovers just below the $4 billion mark, the mining magnate has moved ahead of Koos Bekker to become South Africa’s third-richest man, according to Forbes. Motsepe’s net worth is pegged at $3.9 billion, narrowly placing him ahead of Bekker after shifts in listed share prices altered the balance between two of the country’s most influential business figures.
