Tekkie Town's former CEO, Bernard Mostert, previously told Fin24 that he and his fellow litigants want to have their business "restored", rather than receive a payout under Steinhoff's global settlement proposal. Steinhoff's proposed payout to investors who lost out in its share price plunge now stands at €1.426 billion (around R25 billion). But the former Tekkie Town owners have rejected the settlement, saying they stand to gain more if they can get their original business back, which they believe is possible if Steinhoff is wound up.
