Dear Johan, It was the saddest news I've ever had that you have passed away. When we met in Brussels in late 2019, you talked about your life plan after retirement in South Africa. I promised you to visit South Africa to drink your wine together. Now it becomes impossible dream. 4 years I spent in South Africa with you were so special. I learned a lot from you, Johan. Needless to say, you are the smartest person and the greatest leader, however, what impressed me most was your human capacity You are very approachable man by anybody, regardless of job position, status, religion, gender, age and even nationality. You listen to us first before you talk. And always you give us some suggestions or advices with smile on your face. We had a lot of challenges during that time, IMV project and global Corolla project. But whenever, we encounter some troubles, you always say "Let's make a plan" , "Maark 'n plan" in Africaans. We were encouraged by your word and had accomplished them with great success. Thank you very much, Johan, for your help and support over the years. Please rest in peace, Johan. Hiroyuki Niwa
