Breakthrough profitability and strong momentum at CIVH / Maziv / Vumatel

Industrial and financial investments performing
OUTsurance contribution +14.3% to ZAR 713 million. Air Products contribution +11.4% to ZAR 380 million. TotalEnergies contribution increased >100% (largely due to a one-off transit pipeline cost refund; Remgro share ZAR 218m).
