1 Relates to gross inflows and outflows into the Naspers Limited group cash pool which was started at the end of FY17 to improve cash yield in the group. The cash pool participation with Naspers Limited ended in February 2019.
2 Restricted cash comprises initial margin deposits on Nigerian futures hedging instruments that are not highly liquid and have maturities of greater than three months. The increase from the prior year is due to the group increasing the level of cover on these instruments.
3 The group increased its interest in SafeRide Technologies Limited (SafeRide) to 22.80% within the technology segment. SafeRide is a leading provider of multi-layer cybersecurity and data analytics solutions for connected and autonomous vehicles.
4 In the prior year external funding was utilised to fund dividends paid to previous legal owners.
5 Relates to the gross funding inflows and outflows received by the Rest of Africa segment from Naspers Limited up until February 2019.
