When medical cannabis-focused special-purpose acquisition company Cilo Cybin Holdings debuts on the JSE later this year, it will reportedly be Africa’s first such listing. The company will seek about R2-billion, which will be used to acquire and expand an existing cannabis manufacturing facility in Pretoria. Meanwhile, JSE-listed venture capital company Labat Africa is also advancing its plans in this area, having recently signed a memorandum of understanding with the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research to fast-track implementation of various cannabis-related products. High finance, indeed.
