Higher Botswana sales help lift PPC revenues

PPC’s revenue increased by nine per cent to R4541m  for the half year ended March 2015, on the back of increased volumes in Zimbabwe, Botswana and Rwanda, as well as the consolidation of sales from Safika Cement and Pronto Readymix.

 

Cement selling prices declined in South Africa and Botswana, while limited growth was recorded in other territories. However, the favourable impact of the devaluation of the rand contributed positively to group revenue.
