Trademarks and licence agreements comprise well-established, growing brands. The brand portfolios are considered to have indefinite useful lives and are therefore not amortised, with the exception of trademarks with a carrying value of R50,0 million (2020: R66,8 million) which are viewed with a definite useful life and thus amortised. Refer to accounting policies for further details on amortisation.
