JSE-listed multinational engineering and contracting company Murray & Roberts is contemplating selling its 50% shareholding in the Bombela Concession Company, the operator of the Gautrain. The group has valued its shareholding at more than R1.4 billion. M&R financial director Daniël Grobler said on Thursday that this is one of the options being considered to increase the working capital required by the group to execute its R59.5 billion order book.
