| 2 | Certain of the foreign defined benefit plans have reimbursement rights under contractually agreed legal binding terms that match the amount and timing of some of the benefits payable under the plan. This reimbursive right has been recognised in long-term receivables at fair value of R135 million (2021 – R218 million). A decrease of R88 million (2021 – increase of R22 million) has been recognised as a loss in other comprehensive income in respect of the reimbursive right.

| 1 | Members of the defined contribution scheme have a choice of four investment portfolios. The total assets of the fund under these investment portfolios are R 216 million, R 64 656 million, R 1 269 million and R 919 million for the low risk portfolio, moderate balanced portfolio, aggressive balanced portfolio and money market portfolio, respectively. Defined benefit members’ funds are invested in the moderate balanced portfolio. The money market portfolio is restricted to active members from age 55. The targeted allocation disclosed represents the moderate balanced investment portfolio which the majority of the members of the scheme have adopted. The South African targeted allocation was updated to incorporate the higher permissible foreign asset allocation, by raising the foreign equity allocation to a range of 25-35% from 15-30% (the mid-point effectively increases by 7,5 percentage points) and reducing the local equity allocation commensurately.
