South Africa: Ireland’s CRH is considering making a bid for PPC according to unnamed sources quoted by Bloomberg. However, no final decision has been made and neither CRH nor PPC have commented on the matter. Following an offer made by Fairfax Financial Holdings in September 2017, PPC said that it had received two other offers. Nigeria’s Dangote Cement publicly admitted that it was in talks with PPC but it later withdrew from the bidding process.
