Construction firm Murray & Roberts has increased its stake in Bombela to 50%
The acquisition of a further 17% shareholding in the Bombela Concession Company (BCC), worth R405 million, brings Murray & Roberts’ total stake in the company to 50%. According to Henry Laas, group CEO, the acquisition is part of the construction company’s broader capital allocation strategy.
