The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) is in discussions with London Stock Exchange (LSE) over a platform deal, Financial News reports. The JSE will start using MillenniumIT, the Sri Lankan platform that was acquired by the LSE in December 2009, under the deal.

The JSE, which currently uses the equities trading system, already has a contract, set to expire in 2012, with LSE. The JSE is also considering other technology providers apart from the LSE.
