Tsogo Sun deal puts Gold Reef BEE at risk
Gold Reef Resorts was concerned its black economic empowerment (BEE) status might have been compromised because Tsogo Sun bought a 23 percent stake from "various black BEE shareholders and on the market", chief executive Steven Joffe said yesterday.
Pointing out that Tsogo Sun was "on a pure flow-through principle, less than 50 percent black-owned", he said Gold Reef had petitioned the gaming boards concerned to confirm that "the group's various empowerment commitments relating to shareholding specified in the group's various gaming licences remain adequate".
