Brait has been boosted by a much stronger Virgin Active story, alongside Premier's excellent growth. Renergen had another stop-start quarter. A potential Metrofile deal is still in the works.

GHOST BITES (Gold Fields | Mantengu Mining | Metrofile | MTN Rwanda)

Gold Fields had a strong start to the year, but the JV with AngloGold in Ghana is off the table. MTN Rwanda grew ahead of inflation. Metrofile's potential suitor is doing a due diligence. Mantengu released a strange trading statement.

GHOST BITES (Bell Equipment | Metair | Metrofile | Zeder)

Metair released its annual report - but there's a key disclosure that I just can't find. Metrofile has caught the eye of a potential buyer. Zeder is disposing of some African businesses. Bell Equipment tightened its earnings guidance.

GHOST BITES (Astoria | Barloworld | Fairvest | Master Drilling | Oceana | Pepkor | Remgro | Santova)

Fairvest had no problem raising capital. Pepkor announced a major acquisition. Santova has also flagged a potential acquisition. Astoria, Barloworld and Oceana released difficult numbers. Master Drilling's dividend growth has distracted the market from impairments.

GHOST BITES (FirstRand | Grindrod | Lesaka Technologies | Lighthouse | MTN | Mustek | Sanlam)

FirstRand and Sanlam released strong financial services sector numbers. Lighthouse is acquiring a property in Madrid and Lesaka completed the Recharger acquisition. MTN Uganda released terrific numbers. Grindrod had a tough year. I still don't know why Novus wants Mustek.
