Lol, that's Standard Bank's media release from the 12th June 2014!

I knew it was released in June. IMO, it doesn't really matter when it was published. My point is at the time when Standard Bank was appointed, SDL was looking at various options and BOOT was one of them. It has been reported in October that
"....Standard Bank and Mota-Engil Africa, sources say, are also advancing plans for an alternative funding strategy based on Build, Own Operate and Transfer model for port and rail infrastructure...."

Now SDL Board has got a clear vision that BOOT is the way to go and this has been confirmed in the recent AGM. In my opinion, BOOT was one of the options back in June and Standard Bank/Mota-Engil have wasted no time in pursuing that since then which is really positive.
Cheers.
