This funding ensures that the sugar producer is able to continue making payments to employees, growers and other suppliers whose livelihoods depend on Tongaat Hulett. "We thank IDC for the speed of implementation and their pragmatic approach and thank all other stakeholders for their continued commitment to and support of Tongaat Hulett."

This step in the business rescue processes enables the BRPs to focus on the next phase of the business rescue proceedings aimed at achieving successful business rescues for the underlying Tongaat Hulett businesses. Further updates will be provided as the rescues progress.
