On another ultra busy day of earnings, we saw a positive update from HCI despite pressure in other names in the stable (eMedia / Frontier Transport / Tsogo Sun). Pepkor is my pick in the clothing sector and Zeda is working out well for me. Coronation, Datatec, Santova and Stefanutti Stocks all joined the fray.
