Ferrero and his Ferrero Rocher colleagues were in Cape Town to attend a conference, which was held in different venues around Cape Town, including the Bay Hotel in Camps Bay, where they met for the conference yesterday.<\/p>\n

Mr Ferrero was the Chairman and President of Ferrero SpA, a private company manufacturing Ferrero Rocher chocolates, Nutella, Kinder and Tic-Tac.\u00a0 The company, founded by Ferrero’s grandfather\u00a0with the same name, \u00a0has 18 factories around the world, with 21000 employees.<\/p>\n

It is sad that our beautiful city Cape Town should be associated with the death of this prominent business leader, especially as reports, even from our local Mail & Guardian<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0state that he was “killed in\u00a0SA accident”, over-dramatising the sad event.\u00a0<\/p>\n
