Phumelela Gold Enterprises
last week, leading UK-based

betting is in the internet environment and Betfair is a
significant player in this market.
In addition, Betfair is a
successful and progressive online operation, one that matches our
ambitions, and why
we're looking at other areas of
co-operation.'
Also pleased with the deal is Betfair's Steven Johnson, 'This
deal underlines our commitment and support of international
racing.
We now offer tote betting in various international
jurisdictions, and this new partnership will
help to put money
back into South African horse racing
from our exchange and the Tote.'
