Sefalana Holdings completes turnaround

Sefalana holds exclusive or part equity in Sefcash, Foods Botswana, MF Holdings, Kgalagadi Soap Industries, Commercial Motors and a range of other interests in industries such as timber, mechanised farming, travel and tourism and property.

In 2006 - after a three year battle -Sefalana won an acrimonious court tussle to cut ties with its partner in Metsef, Metro, following disagreements over the efficient and profitable management of the joint venture. Sefalana, led by its Group Managing Director, Chandra Chauhan, was convinced they could do a better job of steering Metsef to profitability, if the management contract was taken away from Metro, a South African group.
