Clover, a consumer goods and products group, announced the deal Friday; the acquisition was made for about $6.4 million. The new entity will be called Clover Waters, according to Clover CE Johann Vorster, and will have the rights to sell the bottled waters of Nestle Pure Life, Valvita, and Schoonspruit brands.
