Commenting on the transaction, PIM Portfolio Manager *Luzuko Nomjana said: “The Prescient Clean Energy and Infrastructure Debt Fund was developed specifically to help bridge the infrastructure gap and contribute towards generating more vibrant economic growth in South Africa. This is the first project we have concluded with the Reatile team and we look forward to further transformative transactions down the line with them.”
