South African competition watchdog has given Glencore's bid worth roughly $900-million for Chevron's local and Botswana assets the green light, it said on Thursday.

But the Competition Commission placed a number of conditions on its approval, including the preservation of jobs after the deal and establishment of a fund to develop small businesses.
