Industrials added 0.84%.AVI added 1.43% to R91.99, despite reporting headline earnings for the six months to end-December 2018 fell 5.6% to R1.06bn, compared to the matching period in 2017.

FirstRand gave up 1.27% to R62.12, ahead of its results to end-December on Tuesday.

Tongaat Hulett plunged 19.32% to R17.75, extending Friday's 28.34% slide, which was prompted by news it had discovered irregularities in its accounts, and might need to restate prior results.
