==Biography==
Taco Kuiper was born in Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) in 1941 to Dutch parents, and spent the Second World War in a Japanese internment camp. After the war, his family returned to the Netherlands. In the early 1960s they sent him to Johannesburg, South Africa to work for Barclays Bank, later moving to South Africa and starting his own investment statistical service from a small flat in Hillbrow. Eventually he made his fortune as owner and publishing editor of the successful ''The Investor's Guide'' in Johannesburg, in which he reported on malfeasance and white-collar crime in Johannesburg financial circles, as well as on the financial and other negative impacts that apartheid had on South African black communities.
Kuiper died 24 September 2004. The mourners were asked to sign a register of attendance. Some 92 people did, the others declined. It turned out that he had stipulated in his will that everyone who signed would share in a special legacy of R1 million, giving around R11,000 to each of the people who were not shy to be associated with Kuiper.
