* The LCCP capital commitment excludes the remaining contingency of US$216 million. During the year a misstatement was identified in the calculation of the LCCP capital cost estimate that was included in the capital commitment disclosure as at 30 June 2018. The misstatment related to the inaccurate estimation of the cost still to be incurred on the project. Accordingly, the capital commitments disclosure as at 30 June 2018 that were originally presented as R63 276 million has been revised by R6 651 million (US$484 million) to R69 927 million. Management concluded that the revision is not material to the financial statements.
