Which news do we believe now? Just this morning I read that Tusky’s is guaranteeing their debts…

Files for administration. Not bankruptcy

I hope it survives and pay out its debt to suppliers. It just needs a guarantee for its debt and stock to pay its way out of this mess. Even if it takes a decade, change of management and name.

The stock idea will work, but they’ll have to be broken down to almost nothing before an acquisition. Once Carrefour takes over the stores in Junction, Westgate and Nyali, Nakumatt will be cut down to proper size to be acquired and re branded as Carrefour.

:D:Dshida yako inakuwaga nini wewe

I have just seen on NTV that Shoprite seeks to take over the prime spots Nakumatt used to occupy in several malls.

There’s something I have never understood. Why would a healthy company (Tuskys) acquire an ailing company (Nakumatt)?. Si they will inherit the loans and debts/arrears incurred by the dying? What is their advantage? If it is locations/shops, why not just go and open their shop there instead of buying the existing dying shops?

Or a bank collapses with people’s money, then it is acquired by another bank. Wont the acquiring bank have to pay the depositors their money, and what is their gain? economists nichanueni.

in Kampala…Digest the news first.

[SIZE=6]SA retailer Shoprite mulls Kenya entry[/SIZE]

[I]South African retail giant Shoprite is eyeing the gap left by a faltering Nakumatt, the largest supermarket chain in Kenya, to make its debut in the country.

Gerhard Fritz, who runs Shoprite business outside South Africa, told Bloomberg the retailer was “in talks with some of the property owners” in Kenya “but nothing has been signed” yet.

If successful, this would be the first time Shoprite sets up shop in Kenya.

It would join the likes of Massmart – which operates in Kenya under the brand name Game – and France-based Carrefour, the world’s second largest retailer by revenues, who’ve entered the country in recent years.

It would also be a twist in change of fortune for the two African retailers: In 2014, family-owned Nakumatt took over Shoprite stores in Tanzania as it expanded regionally, before it was hit by financial woes.

Debt burden

Kenyan supermarket chains have staggered in recent years under the weight of growing debt burdens to their suppliers and gross mismanagement.

Court documents seen by the Business Daily showed that Nakumatt owed its debtors more than Sh31 billion.

Shoprite, which already operates in Tanzania and Uganda and has a strong presence in Central, Southern and West Africa, said it is on course to take over two of Nakumatt’s sites in Uganda.

This will push its presence on the continent to 419 stores in 14 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, excluding South Africa.

Assets,policies and interests are what they want and a business can buy a whole company just to have the call log of the dead company just to further their interests…its an investment with a planned stages of activities but thats how it is normally but in kenya? well concrete jungle ya huku ina ma don wake…na tax yao lazima ulipe[ATTACH]135764[/ATTACH]

Comeback ni ngumu, they are being sued by more than 19 landlords for failing to pay 600 m rent arrears.

Hawa jamaa wa Nakumat wachunguzwe. Zile madeni wako nazo ni kubwa sana.

Bankruptcy applies to persons and not companies. Nakumatt has filed for Administration

For companies its insolvency. I think this administration is provided for in the Insolvency Act?

Tuskys want to guarantee 3billion Nakumatt debt. 27 billion to go

I hope this diagram can explain better.

Money isn’t about how much you are making. It is also about how much you move. A healthy business is one which moves as much money as it can while staying positive. How? Getting loans and spending that money elsewhere to make a positive profit while still paying back the interest and principal on the loans. Every single business, including banks, work like this. Bank borrows money from depositers and pays them back at an interest. Their core business would be to lend this money elsewhere at a higher rate than what they are paying their depositers. Getting to a large cashflow position takes time, so at times, it is easier to acquire an ailing business with a higher cash flow base.
