GUEST: Rui Morais – Chief Executive Officer, Dis-Chem

Dis-Chem’s latest results paint a picture of steady growth and bold transformation. The group reported a 9.6% increase in earnings and 8.7% growth in revenue to R21.3 billion for the six months to August 2025 but the real story lies in how the retailer is redefining South Africa’s healthcare ecosystem.

In conversation with Rui Morais, Dis-Chem’s Chief Executive Officer, we unpack the company’s shift from being a traditional pharmacy retailer to a fully integrated health and wellness platform. From the launch of Better Rewards, a loyalty programme that links health choices to tangible benefits, Dis-Chem is betting on technology, data, and purpose to deliver smarter, more accessible healthcare.
