Nico Olwagen, FleishmanHillard South Africa

This is devastating news. On behalf of the FleishmanHillard family we would like to express our sorrow and condolences to Rob’s family and the wider Bowmans family. Some of us were privileged to have met Rob in various capacities and he was truly an extraordinary person, respected by those who knew him.

I am so very sorry – I have just read that Rob has died. How shattering for everyone – COVID is incredibly cruel. My sympathy to everyone at Bowmans.

Izelle Le Roux-Owen, on behalf of the Africa Private Equity News team

Please accept our deepest condolences for the loss of your Chairman and Senior Partner, Robert Legh. It was such sad and shocking news; a heart-breaking loss. Whilst we never had the opportunity to meet Robert, we know his leadership and presence will be deeply missed after 35 years with the firm. These times must be challenging for the Senior Partners and larger team, and we just wanted to reach out and let you know that Bowmans and Robert’s family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
