Ghost Bites (Burstone | Life Healthcare | Momentum | NEPI Rockcastle | RFG Holdings | Southern Sun)
Momentum goes from strength to strength. Southern Sun has great occupancy, but cost pressures are evident, Life Healthcare is complex, but growing. NEPI Rockcastle and Burstone are doing all kinds of exciting things, yet earnings growth is relatively tame. RFG Holdings was dragged down by the International segment.

Ghost Bites (Burstone | Gemfields | Grand Parade | Remgro)
Remgro's NAV grew solidly this year and they insist on a special dividend instead of more buybacks. Burstone's platform strategy is growing, but perhaps not quickly enough. Gemfields needs things to improve rather urgently. Grand Parade's casino exposure is problematic.

Choppies is managing some growth in its core business.

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.
