Equites raised over R700 million. Sibanye locked in a gold wage deal. Exxaro is running slightly behind guidance. FirstRand's UK hangover continues, but the rest looks good. Resilient expects double-digit growth. Araxi's Software business remains a problem. Merafe is putting two smelters on care and maintenance. Shaftesbury's London West End portfolio is strong.
