The group said the windfall consisted of dividend of R981 million and share buy-backs of R211m during the period. Chief executive Vikesh Ramsunder said the group managed to increase its overall turnover by 7.2 percent to R31.4bn during the period, with operating margin expanded by 40 basis points to 7.4 percent.
