1.   Basis of accounting                                                        
     These consolidated condensed annual financial statements are               
prepared in accordance with South African Statements of Generally Accepted      
Accounting Practice ("GAAP") and Schedule 4 of the South African Companies      
Act.  The accounting policies are consistent with those used in the annual      
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2001, except for revised       
accounting statements that were implemented in the current year, being the      
recognition of dividends when paid and the depreciation of properties           
previously classified as investment properties.  The prior year figures have    
been restated to comply with revised accounting policies.                       
2.   Comparatives                                                               
     Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with    
changes in presentation in the current year.                                    
3.   Earnings per ordinary share                                                
     The calculation of basic headline earnings per share is based on           
attributable earnings before goodwill amortisation and exceptional items, of    
R242,6 million (2001: R424,2 million) and a weighted average of 104 189 314     
(2001: 93 767 495) ordinary shares in issue.                                    
     No fully diluted earnings per ordinary share have been disclosed as the    
potential dilution is not material.                                             
4.   Preliminary results                                                        
     These year-end results have been reviewed by our auditors, Deloitte &      
Touche, who have performed their review in accordance with South                
African Statements of Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, issued by the
