Other JSE stocks that gained in value on Monday included Pioneer Foods, which rose about 4%, and Sappi, which gained about 2.5%. Losers of the day included pharmaceuticals company Aspen, which shed about 4.5%.
The big political story on Monday set out likely candidates for deputy president. With President Cyril Ramaphosa’s inauguration over, the focus is on who he will appoint to his new cabinet.
