Moving up: Sefalana is keeping an eye open for regional growth this year

Diversified retail and manufacturing group, Sefalana Holdings will this year cash in a R250 million (P188.5 million) investment made in a South African retail consortium, opting out of converting the funds into equity, due to a negative market outlook in that country.
