The company was essentially compelled to offer its racing business for sale.<\/p>\n<p>Betfred&#8217;s proposal encompasses an initial payment and additional performance-based incentives contingent on Phumelela achieving specific targets.  However, their interest extends beyond financial gain.  Betfred has committed to retaining Phumelela&#8217;s workforce and preserving all current operations.  They view this as an investment in the future of South African horse racing, with the goal of revitalizing the sector and potentially elevating it to international prominence.<\/p>\n<p>This strategic move holds the promise of significant benefits for South Africa.  Betfred&#8217;s expertise and financial capabilities could inject new life into the racing industry, generating employment opportunities and attracting global interest.
