Ghost Bites (Accelerate Property Fund | Cashbuild | Mahube Infrastructure | Master Drilling | Motus | Old Mutual | Redefine Properties)
Old Mutual and Redefine put out positive numbers, while Cashbuild, Master Drilling and Motus also managed to grind out some growth. Accelerate Property Fund is selling two buildings at NAV. Mahube Infrastructure looks like it could delist.

Ghost Bites (ADvTECH | Clientele | Fairvest | Harmony | Hulamin | Italtile | Momentum | Sasol)
Fairvest's capital raise is a sign of frothiness creeping back into the property sector. ADvTECH, Clientele and Momentum released excellent numbers. Sasol's debt reduction and free cash flow got the market excited. Harmony didn't capitalise on gold price opportunities. Italtile posted resilient numbers, while Hulamin's performance was poor.

Ghost Bites (Gemfields | Impala Platinum | Italtile | MTN Uganda | Powerfleet | Rainbow Chicken)
Rainbow Chicken's HEPS has jumped sharply, while Impala Platinum's earnings have plummeted and Italtile has come in pretty flat. MTN Uganda remains a star in Africa. Gemfields found a buyer for Faberge. Powerfleet's numbers are still very messy due to acquisitions.
Ghost Bites
Ghost Bites (Assura – Primary Health Properties | Astoria | Gemfields | Powerfleet | Stor-Age | Vukile)
Vukile released strong numbers. Stor-Age's decreased payout ratio set a few hares running. Powerfleet needs profits, not just revenue growth. Look out for Assura - Primary Health, Astoria and Gemfields as well.
Ghost Bites
Ghost Bites (Fortress Real Estate | Karooooo | Quantum Foods | Renergen – ASP Isotopes | Southern Palladium)
Renergen released the ASP Isotopes deal circular. There's an interesting move on the Quantum Foods share register. Zak Calisto is monetising R1.35bn of his Karooooo stake. Southern Palladium raised A$8 million. Fortress gave details on the Polish development pipeline.
Ghost Bites
Ghost Bites (Assura – Primary Health Properties | MultiChoice | Naspers – Prosus | Pan African Resources)
Pan African Resources and Naspers/Prosus have both been winners for me this year, with latest numbers showing why. MultiChoice is in much pain. Assura is going ahead with the KKR/Stonepeak offer, not the Primary Health Properties merger.
Ghost Bites
Ghost Bites (FirstRand | KAP | Kore Potash | Premier | Southern Palladium | Telkom)
Telkom and Premier released excellent numbers, while KAP got a well-deserved klap from the market. Kore Potash has finally got a funding proposal on the table, but it doesn't come cheap. Southern Palladium is raising money. FirstRand's HSBC deal is a step closer to completion.
