Denel last month asked for a R2.8 billion cash injection to help it emerge from a financial crisis, and said it was talking to the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) and the National Treasury (NT) about the process.

“The DPE and the NT have indicated that they are satisfied with the progress Denel has made on the recapitalisation conditions and the recapitalisation is expected during the third quarter of the year,” Denel said in a statement.
