South Africa’s Competition Tribunal on Thursday, September 13, conditionally approved Glencore’s proposed US$973 million acquisition of Chevron’s subsidiary in the country, all but scuppering a rival bid from China’s Sinopec.

The conditions for the proposed merger include the preservation of jobs after the deal and the continuation of retirees’ medical aid subsidy among others.
