Absa Corporate and Investment Banking provided the full R500m financing facility as Mandated Lead Arranger and Original Lender, to fund Ilitha's township fibre rollout. date_announced uses the earliest evidenced public announcement: Absa CIB and Meridiam LinkedIn posts on 28 Aug 2026 (dated from post activity IDs); Business Day (1 Oct 2026) says the facility was secured 'in late August'. The USD 30.4m figure is TechCabal's conversion (16 Oct 2026); other Oct 2026 reports say about $30m. No closing date disclosed. Business Day's headline total of R940m raised in two years does not reconcile exactly with the reported R420m + R500m components.
