sid - p7 of the dfs announcement of 6th april, 2nd bullet point says:

'Discussions with potential strategic partners are progressing well and we look forward to concluding these discussions in the first half of 2011'

So maybe you are right, 'discussion' were concluded, now it is time for actual 'negotiations'!

But then why does the 'No time to waste' slide (p.16) of the indaba presentation indicate that 'Secure strategic partner' is Q2 2011?

Think you are clutching at straws by trying to deny a timeline was set and has been broken.
