Impala Platinum still has its heart set on gaining control of Royal Bafokeng Platinum, but the inability to obtain a compliance certificate from the Takeover Regulation Panel may soon force the miner to walk away from its long-held takeover ambitions.

"For me, one of the motivating factors for why we are not rated as an attractive investment destination, [is because] it is impossible to conclude a transaction in South Africa, because we have regulatory bodies that make it impossible," Implats CEO Nico Muller said at the release of the company's results on Thursday.
