PSG - shortlisted for the DealMakers Brunswick Deal of the Year 2022
CDH is working with the PSG Group on a complex deal, valued at over R20 billion, that incorporates M&A, capital markets and restructuring.
Our team is advising PSG on the restructuring of the group, which includes the unbundling of all PSG Group's shares in PSG Konsult, Kaap Agri, Curro, Stadio and CA Sales, which are all listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. This restructuring falls under the Companies Act 71 of 2008 because, ahead of its delisting, the PSG Group is disposing of the majority of its assets and repurchasing shares from the majority of shareholders in terms of a scheme of arrangement.

Long walk to freedom, and longer still to go
27 April 2024 marked 30 years of democracy in South Africa. Since the country’s first democratic elections in 1994, and the adoption of the final Constitution in 1996, South Africa has undergone a radical transition from an oppressive apartheid regime to the constitutional democracy it now enjoys – one that is committed to the creation of a society based on democratic values, social justice and fundamental humanrights.

When does the proverbial clock begin to tick under section 7(1) of PAJA?
A ruling was made by the Constitutional Court at the end of last year in Sasol Chevron Holdings Limited v Commissioner for the South African Revenue Services ZACC30, confirming that the 180-day period afforded by section 7(1) of the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act 3 of 2000 (PAJA) starts running from the date that reasons for the decision are provided with sufficient detail to allow the offended party to file an objection against the decision. A party’s request for more detailed reasons does not afford that party room to argue that the 180-day period only starts running once those more detailed reasons are provided.
