Memphis Goodwill plans to open its first Midtown re-sale store, in the former Rite Aid building at 1810 Unionby Aug. 1.

A regional energy start-up, which attracted millions from the Federal Government and was supported by local and interstate universities in its quest to develop a new industry creating hundreds of jobs, has been placed in voluntary administration.

Whyalla-based Muradel, which described itself as an advanced bio-crude oil production company, is now under the control of BDOs Andrew Fielding and Nicholas Martin.

A spokeswoman for the administrators said the appointment was effective from April 3.

The business was not trading at the time of our appointment. BDO are exploring a sale of the companys assets and/or shares, she said.

In a new twist to the Reliance Communication (RCom) bankruptcy case, an appellate tribunal has said if insolvency proceedings are revived against the beleaguered telco firm, then Ericsson will have to pay back a large settlement amount it has received earlier.

This observation was made by a two-judge bench, headed by Justice SJ Mukhopadhaya, of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT).

In February, the Anil Ambani-owned telco approached the NCLAT to withdraw the appeal it filed last year for a stay on an insolvency petition against the telco admitted by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).

RCom had to shut down its mobile phone operation in 2017 and has a debt of 460 billion rupees (US$6.61 billion). While it managed earl…

Yesterday we asked readers for suggestions of what could be done about political advertising in Australia (which Bernard Keane says is as much a scam to benefit political parties advertiser mates as anything else). Unsurprisingly, readers had a few ideas. Elsewhere, we received a comment on the issue of insolvency firms, and what they mean for the health of the economy.

On political advertising

Roy Hopkins writes: We already have reams of evidence to prove that political donations warp our democratic processes; and political advertising is no different. By all means let supporter…

More than 100 SA employees affected by the collapse of menswear chain Ed Harry will be paid their entitlements in full, but a far lower dividend is expected for unsecured creditors owed close to $12 million.

Following a clearance sale of stock across the country, administrator KPMG closed the doors to the final few stores in the Ed Harry network on March 24.

In its latest report to creditors KPMG confirmed that more than 500 staff including 114 in SA would be paid $2.8 million in entitlements following the likely liquidation of the company, while unsecured creditors were likely to recoup just 12c in the dollar.

With the company insolvent and no deed of company arrangement proposal put forward, creditors are expected to vote for the compan…

In a press briefing on Tuesday, the Independent Electoral Commission of SA (IEC) announced they had dismissed nearly all the objections they had received against the candidates nominated by political parties contesting this years elections.

Only one objection was upheld, which came from the PAC against its own candidate,Alton Mphethi, due to a criminal conviction, said IEC chairpersonMosotho Moepya.

This candidate was sentenced on 7 June 2016 to 18 months imprisonment without the option of a fine. This disqualifies him from holding elected office to the National Assembly or a provincial legislature. The commission dismissed all other objections for failing to meet the constitutional or statutory criteria.
