Canal+ buyout of S.Africa's MultiChoice one step closer
South Africa's competition authority announced Wednesday it had approved the buyout of Africa's largest pay TV enterprise, MultiChoice by France's Canal+, which wants to expand its footprint on the continent. The merger, which has been in the works for nearly a year, needs the final go-ahead from the commission's Competition Tribunal, it said in a statement. Canal+ holds around 45 percent of MultiChoice's shares and offered last year to acquire the remainder for R125 (6.16 euro) per share. Canal+ is present in 25 African countries through 16 subsidiaries and has eight million subscribers, according to the French group. MultiChoice operates in 50 countries across sub-Saharan Africa and has 19.3 million subscribers, it says. It includes Africa's premier sports broadcaster, SuperSport, and the DStv satellite television service. "This is a major step forward in our ambition to create a global media and entertainment company with Africa at its heart," Canal+ CEO Maxime Saada said in a statement. The commission said its approval of the merger was subject to public-interest conditions worth about R26 billion over three years, including increasing the shareholding of people disadvantaged under South Africa's white-minority apartheid regime. It will also maintain the MultiChoice headquarters in South Africa. A date for the Tribunal's decision on the merger has not been announced but Canal+ said it was aiming for the deal to be completed by early October.

AG concerned about NLC's handling of grant funding
CAPE TOWN - The auditor-general (AG) says it remains concerned about the way in which the National Lotteries Commission (NLC) handles grant funding, despite slight improvements in its audit outcome over 2024. On Tuesday, the office told Parliament's Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA) that grant beneficiaries had also been found wanting and unable to properly account for how they'd spent the money they'd received. The AG's office has flagged three material irregularities worth R46 million for this financial year. These include a failed sports complex project in Soweto and the incomplete construction of an old-age home in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). The NLC has received two successive years of qualified audits. The AG's office said its own site visits had confirmed that the location of the intended Motheo sports complex in Soweto, for which the NLC paid out R6 million of a R9 million grant, was being used as a dumpsite. Senior audit manager, Aphendule Matiyane, said the commission was failing to conduct proper feasibility studies for projects that were applying for funding. "We also noted that the monitoring processes were haphazard and didn't cover the entire value chain and the processes." The AG's office has also found that the contractor for a R26 million old age home in KZN abandoned the partially constructed structure, which showed building defects. "In circumstances around infrastructure projects, they did not have the right skills and the capacity to be able to make those assessments." The projects are already under investigation by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU).

Land reform minister defends new race classification requirements for land transfers as part of dept's land audit
CAPE TOWN - Land Reform Minister Mzwanele Nyhontso has defended new race classification requirements in the transfer of land as part of his department's land audit. He told Wednesday's economic cluster ministerial question session that government had to know who owned the land in the country and was not targeting any particular race. Nyhontso was responding to a question from the Democratic Alliance (DA), which wants him to amend the new regulation that requires people who receive land to disclose their race and gender. The DA's Mlindi Nhanha asked Minister Nyhontso what the legal and constitutional basis was for making the disclosure of race and gender mandatory in the new requirements for the transfer of property. The DA also wrote to Nyhontso demanding that he withdraw the new race rules in the deeds offices across South Africa, calling on him to halt their enforcement. But Nyhontso said that the requirement was necessary. "This regulation is not going to be used against other races. This regulation is going to be used to understand the land and to understand who owns the land, so we are able to audit the land in this country." Nyhontso also told the House that R26 billion was paid to former land owners and R27 billion was paid for financial compensation to claimants.
