Namanje Limited is a Zambian manufacturer of chairs made from the famous Mukula tree. Namanje Limited has decided to purchase an existing Botswana based company called City Furniture which makes reclining chairs. The purchase consideration consists of ₱72,000,000 for non-current assets and equipment of City Furniture. It has also been estimated that an addition ₱8,000,000 of working capital will be needed.

It is expected that the financing of CityFurniture will not need any additional external funds for at least five years. Furthermore, turnover from the City Furniture would be exclusively from the local Tswana market. Namanje Limited has no other subsidiaries outside Zambia and the company's board are considering how to finance the Tswana investment.
