Bob van Dijk, CEO of e-commerce group Naspers, poses for a photograph in front of the company logo after holding a media briefing in Johannesburg, South Africa, October 9, 2019.
The companies named investment chief Ervin Tu, a previous VisionBank manager and Goldman Sachs technology banker, as interim CEO.
However it coincides with the unwinding Monday of a cross-structure between Prosus and Naspers.
Van Dijk oversaw Prosus's 2019 IPO and the company's stock boomed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However he struggled to close a valuation gap between Prosus, Naspers and the value of their biggest asset: Chinese software giant Tencent(0700.HK) .
