The increase in non-current employee related provisions since 31 March 2014 is mainly due to the increase in the post-retirement medical aid provisions as a result of medical inflation. The decrease in non-current non-employee related provisions is as a result of certain provisions becoming payable in the next 12 months and therefore being moved to short term.
The increase in the current portion of employee related provisions is due to the voluntary severance, voluntary early retirement and retrenchment process. The decrease in the current portion of non-employee related provisions is the reclassification at 30 September 2014 of an amount of R304 million to trade and other receivables to more accurately reflect the substance of a transaction with a third party.
