 Events after the reporting date
                                                                                                       
         Post-period-end S&P downgraded PPC?s credit rating resulting in the long-term notes becoming payable in the short term and the notes have
         been reclassified accordingly (refer note 14). With the acceleration of the repayment of the notes, the liquidity of the group has been
         impacted. The group is in the final stages of securing bridging guarantee funding (refer note 14) which will assist with short-term
         liquidity requirements. In order to strengthen the capital structure of the group, a capital rights issue has been announced whereby the
         group anticipates to raise between R3 billion and R4 billion. This note should be read in conjunction with note 1 under the section
         going concern
