Ghost Bites (Equites Property Fund | KAL Group | Karooooo | NEPI Rockcastle | Reunert | Tharisa)
Equites Property Fund and NEPI Rockcastle are good reminders of the strength of REITs. KAL Group is one of the last "cheap" South African assets. Karooooo upset the market with its margins this year, but they are playing the long game. Reunert has been dragged down by its cables business. Tharisa's earnings have skyrocketed.

Ghost Bites (Bytes | Canal+ | MAS | MTN | Octodec | Prosus | Spear REIT)
The market has gone cold on Prosus. MTN is the beneficiary of much better macroeconomics in Africa. Canal+ is inward listing on the JSE in June, but will they find support? Bytes Technology has a lot of work to do. In property, MAS is looking to offload some malls, while Spear REIT showed us how profitable buy-and-flip can be. Octodec's interim growth needs to be considered carefully.

Ghost Bites (Aveng | Clientèle | Gemfields | Mr Price | Nedbank | Octodec | Sasol | SPAR)
There are no easy wins at Sasol, but there are no wins whatsoever at SPAR. Mr Price is pushing ahead with the NKD deal, while Nedbank's NCBA deal in Kenya is making progress. Aveng has many contracts to try and resolve. Gemfields is still facing market pressure in rubies. Octodec has a tricky property portfolio to run. Finally, Clientèle's numbers are complex, but trending higher.
