Details in respect of immovable property are set out in a register which may be inspected at the Company’s registered office.

The Group has pledged certain plant and machinery as security for certain interest bearing borrowings. (Refer note 15, Secured liabilities).

During the year, a subsidiary company discontinued the use of certain plant and equipment. This led to an impairment charge of R2,5 million (2006: R4,3 million) that has been recognised in earnings for the year (note 26). In addition, an amount of R1,3 million (2006: R2,6 million) raised as an impairment provision against plant and equipment in the prior year, was released.

The following average depreciation periods are used for the depreciation of property, plant and equipment:
immovable property – land Not depreciated  
immovable property – building 20 to 40 years on a straight-line basis
owner occupied headlease property 30 to 40 years on a straight-line basis
plant and machinery 3 to 30 years on a straight-line basis
other equipment 3 to 10 years on a straight-line basis
