'Rights offer deal will see Tongaat Hulett owned by notorious Zimbabwe family'
Tongaat Hulett shareholders have approved a R4 billion rights issue, which would see fundraising to be underwritten by Magister Investments, reports Business Day.
Also endorsed was the appointment of Hamish Rudland as a director and representative of Magister on the board.
The Rudlands are one of Zimbabwe’s most notorious families, writes Business Maverick editor Tim Cohen in an article on Daily Maverick.
The family's Zimbabwean businesses include the Gold Leaf Tobacco group.
At the same time Tongaat Hulett is taking aim at Deloitte, appointing a legal team to pursue a claims process over a misstatement of the company results which goes back years.
