The carrying amount of network infrastructure and equipment includes R1 472 million (2017: R1 453 million) in relation
to assets held under finance leases (Note 18).
The Group’s South African operations pledged certain of its property, plant and equipment with a carrying amount of
R1 472 million (2017: R1 453 million) as security against borrowings with a fair value of R1 634 million (2017: R1 523 million)
(Note 18). The respective pledges are limited to the carrying amount of the borrowings.
Included in the carrying amount of network infrastructure and equipment and other assets are, assets in the course of construction,
which are not depreciated, with a cost of R362 million (2017: R55 million) and R13 million (2017: R1 million) respectively.
Certain of the Group’s operations received government grants to advance universal access to communications by constructing
telecommunication infrastructure. Unfulfilled conditions relate to the completion of the asset.
In the current year, directly attributable staff expenses of R821 million (2017: R742 million) were capitalised.
