Primary Health is making another desperate plea to Assura. MTN Zakhele Futhi is cashing in. Novus is up, but on shaky ground. Gemfields enjoyed decent support for the rights offer. Look out for Merafe, Mediclinic (Remgro) and Vunani as well.

Ghost Bites (Afrimat | Barloworld | Equites | Karooooo | Netcare | PPC | Sanlam | Southern Sun)

Afrimat will banish the latest year from memory and will look to the future. The offer for Barloworld looks more appealing by the day. There were strong numbers from Karooooo, Netcare, PPC, Sanlam and Southern Sun, while growth at Equites was muted due to having more shares in issue.
