Deneys - 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 I met Jakop Mphofu of Deneys last week at his office on the 9th floor of 117 On Strand, Cape Town. Between good conversation, technical insurance discussions, and a tasty lasagne, we covered work history and a few “legendary tales” - some serious, others best left for another day. But somewhere along the way, I lost focus - blame the view. By the time I left, any commercial objectivity had disappeared. I was not thinking about insurance law or even the stories. I was thinking about what that same view - just higher up on the rooftop - would look like at 05h30, coffee in hand, watching the city wake up. I have made the Deneys building easy to spot in the photo. The only remaining issue - can we get Jakop to the office that early, and me onto the roof with my camera and a hot Deneys coffee? It’s amazing what peer pressure gets us to do. PS: Donald Craig Daniel Atish (ᵕ • ᴗ •)
