Founded in 1909 and originally known as the London and Rhodesian Mining Company, Lonrho become a huge global conglomerate between the 1960s and the 1990s. It had hotels and property and was into agriculture as well as mining.

Its mining assets were spun off to become Lonmin, a name that will always be linked to the Marikana killings on South Africa's platinum belt in 2012.

But the rest of the company was eventually snapped up by two Swiss entrepreneurs and taken private. Now it invests in food supply, infrastructure and IT in 12 countries across Africa.

The 成人论坛's Tamasin Ford sat down with Roland Decorvet, the chief executive of Lonrho, and asked him what the company looks like now.
