TROUBLED Tongaat Hulett, the sugar and property group, has announced it has entered business rescue due to its snowballing debt burden, and that it has been denied additional funding.<\/p>\n

However, it said its other operations would continue to trade uninterrupted.<\/p>\n

Business rescue is a legal process aimed at facilitating the rehabilitation of a financially distressed company.<\/p>\n

Tongaat sits with a N$6,6 billion debt burden.<\/p>\n

It said in a statement that its company’s debt levels remained well in excess of what could be serviced, that delays experienced in the recapitalisation had worsened the situation, and that a debt restructuring plan to address both the excess debt and a N$1,5 billion shortfall in working capital facilities, was approved by the Tongaat Hulett board of directors and submitted for consideration to the relevant stakeholders.<\/p>\n
