  Trademarks comprise well-established, growing brands. Except for trademarks with a cost of R248,3 million (2014: R248,3 million) which are amortised, the brand portfolio is considered to have indefinite useful lives and are therefore not amortised. Refer to the accounting policies for further details on amortisation.
