Share

Africa’s richest woman, Isabel dos Santos, has increased her stake in Angolan Bank Banco BIC to 42.5%, according to Portuguese newspaper, Publico.

According to the paper, Isabel dos Santos and Banco BIC Angola’s CEO, Fernando Teles acquired a 25% shareholding owned by Portuguese billionaire businessman Americo Amorim. The duo also acquired another 10% stake in Banco BIC Portugal, an offshoot of Banco BIC Angola owned by another shareholder, businessman António Ruas. Isabel dos Santos and Teles split the 35% equally, each taking 17.5%. Santos previously owned 25% of the bank, bringing her current shareholding to 42.5%. Ruas now owns 37.5%. The deal was closed on Thursday last week, though it is not clear how much they paid to acquire the shares.

Banco BIC Angola and Banco BIC Portugal have an identical shareholding structure. The bank was established in Angola in 2005 before expanding to Portugal in 2008. It is currently Angola’s largest bank, with more than 200 branches across the country, 3,000 employees and about 1 million customers.


With this deal, Isabel dos Santos, who is worth approximately $3.5 billion by FORBES’ estimates, is now Banco BIC’s dominant shareholder and has cemented her position as one of the biggest stakeholders in Angola and Portugal’s financial system.

Isabel dos Santos, 41, is the daughter of Angola’s president, and was profiled  by Forbes in 2013 in a piece titled “Daddy’s Girl: How an African ‘Princess’ Banked $3 billion in a Country Living on $2 a day.”  Leveraging on her father’s position, Isabel dos Santos has acquired large stakes in blue-chips like Angolan mobile phone operator Unitel, media giant Zon Optimus and Portuguese oil and gas firm Galp Energia.

Third is Ngina Kenyatta
Mama Ngina was born Ngina Muhoho, daughter of Chief Muhoho wa Gathecha, Kiambu District, Central Province.[1] She married Jomo Kenyatta as his third wife in 1951, a union characterised as a "gift" to Kenyatta from his ethnic group, the Kikuyu.[2] This became her reference as the "mother of the nation",[2] becoming Mama Ngina Kenyatta, independent Kenya's glamorous First Lady when Kenyatta became President in 1963. She often accompanied him in public, and had some streets in Nairobi[3] and Mombasa, as well as a Children's Home,[4] named after her. In 1965, she became patron of Kenyan Guiding.[5]

In the 1970s, she and other high-level government officials were allegedly involved in an ivory-smuggling ring which transported tusks out of the country in the state private airliner.[6][7][8] A May 1975 edition of New Scientist cited her as one of Kenya's "ivory queens" but also asserted they could not be completely certain that these claims were true.[9] However, New Scientist claimed that there was now documentary proof that at least one member of Kenya's royal family had shipped over six tons of ivory to Red China.

Mama Ngina became a Roman Catholic,[10] and was known to attend Mass every Sunday in the Catholic mission with some of their children.[11] She also became one of the richest individuals in Kenya, owning plantations, ranches, and hotels.[12] She currently leads a quiet life in Kenya as a wealthy widow.
