In turn, this will provide cash flow to fund growth through diversification in the medium term, while also allowing our growers to realise the full value of their crops. Without a successful recapitalisation, the legacy we have worked so hard to build will be at risk, as well as our ability to extend the foundations of this legacy. With a recapitalisation in place we know we can make Tongaat increasingly attractive to investors as we leverage our long legacy as a major agribusiness in the region, and maximise the value of our property portfolio. We can also protect livelihoods and deliver future value to all of our stakeholders. We are now working to secure the support of our shareholders to draw a line under the restructuring process with a substantial injection of new funding. The board and management team continue to act with urgency and the highest standards of governance to secure the future of Tongaat Hulett. • Hudson is CEO of Tongaat Hulett.
