A $195 million dispute over a Tanzanian graphite project has taken a turn as a South African court dismissed claims against African Rainbow Capital. The South African Gauteng High Court found that ARC was not a party to the non-disclosure agreement at the heart of the case and, therefore, could not be held liable. The agreement was originally signed between African Rainbow Minerals and Pula, not ARC.
The $195 million in damages sought by Pula Graphite Partners Tanzania Limited, also known as Pula Group, allege that Motsepe-linked entities breached confidentiality and non-compete obligations tied to the graphite project. The dispute has split into two legal tracks—one in South Africa and one in Tanzania—while the broader proceedings against other Motsepe-linked entities remain unresolved.
