JOHANNESBURG - It is believed that an american law firm, Pomerantz is investigating claims on behalf of Naspers Limited investors.

The investigation concerns whether Naspers and if certain officers and directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.

This follows calls made by the DA towards the end of November for MultiChoice to publicly release the full details of the contract it entered into with Gupta-linked news network, ANN7. The party insists that all records prior to contract negotiations should also be made public.

The DA said it would take the matter up with Independent Communications Authority of South Africa should MultiChoice not publish the information within 48 hours.
