The South African Competition Tribunal has unconditionally approved the merger in which STANLIB Infrastructure Fund II will acquire a substantial stake in Cassava Africa Data Centres (ADC). Following the transaction, STANLIB will exercise joint control over Cassava ADC, with the potential to gain sole control in the future.

The approval comes shortly after the Competition Commission recommended the merger proceed without conditions, citing minimal concerns about competition. The Commission stated that the proposed transaction is unlikely to substantially lessen or prevent competition in any relevant markets and does not raise significant public interest issues.
