Hansie Schutte, Group Executive: Legal, Altron
On behalf of Altron, we would like to express our condolences to everyone at Bowmans, Rob’s family and friends on the very sad passing of Rob.
Rob has been a great friend ever since our first encounter in 1996, whereby I instructed him to draft an agreement in respect of Altech Autopage’s new billing system with a UK counter party.
Rob was a true gentleman in every respect and his leadership and values will never be forgotten.
Steven De Backer, Founder / CEO, Afriwise
It is with complete shock and disbelief that we received the news of the sudden demise of Robert Legh.
Words may not help much at the present time but please accept our heartfelt condolences, extended to Robert’s family, friends and all of you at Bowmans.
The loss of such a respected leader in the African legal fraternity is a loss suffered by all of us who wish for a better future for our Continent. Robert was a respected, trusted and admired leader, but above all a wonderful human being. He will never be forgotten.
Our thoughts are with you.
