Accelerate continues with R100 million rights offer amid large related-party uncertainties
JSE-listed Accelerate Property Fund, which owns 50%of Fourways Mall, will undertake a R100 million rights issue on July 14, 2025, to further improve the mall and for the company's working capital requirements. Image: Fourways Mall/Facebook Accelerate Property Fund (APF), which has Fourways Mall Shopping Centre as its main asset, said Friday a R100 million rights offer that opens on July 14 will continue, in spite of uncertainty about the outcome of a R800m agreement with the developer of the mall. APF's share price fell 5.56% to 51 cents on Friday, much in line with the share price of 53 cents that it traded at a year earlier. 'APF remains committed to restructuring its operations with a focus on improving the Mall as APF's largest asset. The opening of the rights offer… is an important step towards the completion of these restructuring efforts, the proceeds of which will be utilised for improvements of the Mall and working capital needs of APF,' a notice said Friday. APF's directors said the rights issue would add to the R200m already raised by APF in a rights offer in June 2023. Meanwhile, a settlement agreement entered into in November last year, between APF and co-developer of the mall, Azrapart, had lapsed due to suspensive conditions not being fulfilled in the requisite timeframe. Last month, media reports showed Azrapart was placed into business rescue by the High Court in Bloemfontein, following an application by FirstRand's RMB and Investec, but Azrapart is appealing the ruling.

Shareholders were previously told that APF would engage with the parties to conclude a new agreement, on the same or close to the same terms as the initial settlement agreement. 'Although both parties have indicated their willingness to sign the new agreement, the new agreement has not yet been concluded…and negotiations with the related parties are ongoing.' Should the new agreement be concluded, the balances due to and from the related parties would be offset to R0. Should the new agreement fail to be concluded, R800m, being the amounts receivable from the related parties, might be impaired by APF. APF said it would publish its results for the year to March 31, 2025, by July 31, 2025, whether or not the new agreement was concluded between APF and the related parties. If the new agreement was not concluded, legal advice would be sought about the validity and quantum of the claims. APF would also consider all available remedies to seek the recovery of the amounts due by the related parties to APF, it said in a statement. Visit:

D.C. stalls popular public bathroom program amid funding cuts
D.C.'s popular public bathroom program is on hold — and people are pissed. Driving the news: Throne, the startup behind a fleet of luxe loos, shut down its six free toilets on July 5 after the city let its contract lapse over funding issues. City officials say they've identified funding to keep the bathrooms running through September, but they gave no timeline for reopening them. Why it matters: D.C. is desperate for bathrooms, especially with massive events for America's 250th birthday and beyond. Catch up quick: Throne launched 18 potties in DMV in 2024 — all free, mobile, ADA-compliant, and equipped with baby stations, sinks, AC and menstrual products. So yes, popular — D.C. Thrones attracted around 71,000 visitors between the start of the pilot and May. The city used six in a pilot program for high-traffic areas like Dupont Circle, Eastern Market and near the Mall. The latest: City officials told the Washington Post that Throne's funding was wiped after the congressional GOP spending bill slashed $1 billion from D.C.'s budget and forced the city to terminate contracts. Yes, but: The mayor's office seemingly reversed its decision after pushback from neighborhood organizations and public officials. A petition to reopen Thrones garnered more than 740 signatures. As one Throne supporter told Axios: "There's nothing like the wrath of someone approaching a bathroom and finding it closed." Zoom in: The D.C. Council is helping fund 10 Thrones in the new fiscal year, Councilmember Brianne Nadeau tells Axios. Nadeau, who championed the program as chair of the Committee on Public Works, says it's still unclear why the contract lapsed. Multiple committees pitched in for the pilot in FY26, she says, and council members sponsored their own, covering new Thrones in Wards 7, 8 and 1. Claims that Throne funding will cost Public Works jobs are "completely inaccurate," Nadeau tells Axios. What they're saying: "Ultimately, this is really scalable. They're easy to use, easy to place, people love them," Nadeau tells Axios. Her next step: Introducing legislation to make the pilot permanent.
