Aviva reviews Mmamantswe in response to keen suitors

Last year, the Australian based company wrote off its investment in the project after a bid to secure a power purchase agreement with South Africa's Eskom for its planned 1000MW Mmamantswe hit a snag.

Announcing its results for the year ended 30 June 2011, the company - which is also exploring for gold and base metals in Kenya - said it had received a number of inquiries relating to Mmamantswe and was reviewing the project scope to determine the best opportunities to create value for shareholders in light of increased international interest in the region.
