1 The increase relates primarily to the group's investment in a multiyear programme to futureproof the group’s customer service, billing and data capabilities.
2 The increase is primarily due to the weaker average ZAR rate against the USD of ZAR17.35 (1H FY20: ZAR14.61) and the end of a contractual agreement on the southern Africa transponder lease whereby an upfront prepayment reduced lease payments for the first 36 months of the lease term. Subsequently, regular monthly lease payments resumed from October 2019 resulting in increased outflows.
3 Relates to the purchase of group shares during 1H FY21 which were used to settle the group's share-based compensation awards.
4 During 1H FY21, the ZAR2.5bn dividend declared in June 2020 was paid by the group to the group’s broker, Sasfin Holdings Limited (Sasfin), for distribution to shareholders. Included in this payment was an amount of ZAR89m related to dividends due to the group for treasury shares held. At 30 September 2020, the amount of ZAR89m had not yet been received by the group and the group recognised a receivable from Sasfin in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position.
5 Relates primarily to dividends paid to PN.
