Oakbay and Tegeta react to media speculation

It is regrettable that some media persist in trying to create a narrative that Oakbay’s mining activities represent a conflict between the Company’s majority shareholders and the Treasury

We strongly believe we have done nothing wrong

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, August 27, 2016/APO/ --

Oakbay Investments (www.OakbayInvestments.co.za) and Tegeta have noted press coverage in recent days surrounding the Company’s contracts with Eskom and coal supply from the Brakfontein mine.

We strongly believe we have done nothing wrong and have followed every policy and process correctly and have no issue with government or a regulatory body reviewing our activity.

At the time of the Treasury’s request to release its report, Tegeta offered to participate and assist with the provision of relevant facts and accurate data ahead of release of the report.

We believe that any Report publicly released should be accurate. We also believe that our input would enhance its accuracy ahead of the report being made public. 

It is regrettable that some media persist in trying to create a narrative that Oakbay’s mining activities represent a conflict between the Company’s majority shareholders and the Treasury.  The companies within the group have no direct relationship with Treasury, and are fully supportive of the work being done by Treasury to create an environment conducive to growing South Africa’s economy.

The Gupta family has no Executive or non-Executive role at Oakbay Investments.
