"The first ground of exception
[9]              In paragraph 35 of the particulars of claim the plaintiffs plead that after delivery of the sale shares and sales claims, also referred to as ‘the equity’, Steinhoff NV caused the sale shares and the business of <> Town to be delivered to various of its subsidiary companies in the period February to October 2017.
[10]         Amongst these averments are that:
‘35.3.  With effect from 1 July 2017, the Sale shares were transferred by SAH (Steinhoff Africa Holdings Ltd) to Pepkor Holdings, since which date <> Town has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Pepkor Holdings
35.4.   With effect from 1 October 2017, the South African Business of <> Town was transferred to Pepkor Speciality which is now in possession and de facto control of the South African assets and business of <> Town’.
[11]         In paragraph 36 the plaintiffs plead that at the time of each of the transfers the Pepkor companies and <> Town were wholly owned subsidiaries of Steinhoff NV; furthermore, that at the said time Steinhoff NV ‘had knowledge of the misrepresentations and that the plaintiffs had relied on the truth of the misrepresentations in concluding the contract and delivering the Equity to Steinhoff NV’.
