Johannes "Jannie" Mouton (born 1946) is a South African businessman, the founder and chairman of PSG Group.[2]
Mouton was born in Carnarvon in 1946, and grew up there.[1] He has a bachelor's degree from Stellenbosch University.[3][1]
Mouton started his career aged 22 as an articled clerk at PwC.[4] He qualified as a chartered accountant in 1973.[2] In 1995, Mouton was fired as managing partner by stockbrokers Senekal, Mouton & Kitshoff, a firm he co-founded. He later founded PSG Group.[5][6]
His first wife, Dana Mouton died in 2004.[7][1] His second wife is Deidré.[8] Mouton has two sons, Jan and Piet, and a daughter, Charité.[7] He lives in Stellenbosch, South Africa.[6] His son Piet is the CEO of PSG Group.[5][6] His eldest son Jan manages the PSG Flexible Fund and is a non-executive director of PSG.[7] Mouton's longstanding friendship with the lately controversial businessman Markus Jooste is advertised on the Sauvignon Blanc wine that they produced together. Jooste facilitated Steinhoff's 20% investment in PSG which assisted Mouton in warding off a hostile bid from ABSA bank.[9]
