  Due to the uncertain economic, political and social climate in Zimbabwe, an annual impairment review is performed on the value of the Group’s investment in TM Supermarkets (Pvt) Limited. In the prior year this investment was fully impaired down to a value of Rnil. Currently there is no evidence to support carrying this investment at a value exceeding Rnil. The Group is still unable to remit any dividends from Zimbabwe due to the lack of available foreign exchange.
