The Group obtained long-term funding of R1 billion during the current financial year to diversify its debt maturity profile and to finance its activities.

The repayment of the current portion of interest-bearing debt of R1 612 million (nominal as at 31 March 2015) is expected to be repaid from cash balances, available operational cash flow and/or the issue of new debt instruments.

Management believes that sufficient funding facilities will be available at the dates of repayment.
