Sun International's Offer Unsolicited
"Speaking to Moneyweb yesterday, Vlok said that the Real Africa board only received the offer at 17:30 on Monday, half an hour before it was released on the JSE's news service.
"'It was totally unsolicited. However, it is not a total surprise because we have quality assets in our portfolio. It makes good business sense for them [SUI] to do this.'
"Vlok was not in a position to say whether he thought the offer was fair and reasonable: 'We will evaluate it and then give reaction in due course. We will call a board meeting. Sun International has given us until April 7 to do so.'
"...Real Africa is of interest to SUI as it holds minority stakes in a number of its casinos: Carnival City, the Sibaya Casino KwaZulu-Natal, Port Elizabeth's Boardwalk; and Cape Town's GrandWest Casino and Table Bay Hotel..."
