CAPE TOWN, April 11 (Reuters) – South Africa’s competition
authority said on Wednesday it had given an unconditional green
light to global miner Anglo American’s $5.1 billion buy
out of unlisted diamond giant De Beers from the Oppenheimer
family.
“The Tribunal just approved the transaction without
conditions,” a spokeswoman for the Competition Tribunal said.
The deal was widely expected to be approved.
