However, during the period, three lives were lost in work-related incidents: Michael Ramodike, Thato Makuwa, and Mongezi Mbusi. “We are devastated by these losses,” said CEO Craig Miller.
A base interim dividend of R32.50 per share, or R8.6bn, was declared, in line with the 40% of headline earnings dividend policy, and an additional dividend of R6.5bn or R24.50 per share would be paid out.
