South African IT services company EOH has continued its expansion drive through the acquisition of majority stakes in six ICT companies in four new territories, it said in a bourse filing on January 12.

In detail, EOH has concluded the acquisition of 50% or more of Consol Systems and BC Skills in Morocco, Acron and Cozumevi in Turkey, Acron in Iran, and EBS in Mozambique. Financial details were not disclosed.
