          retirement schemes organised by the municipal and provincial governments for its employees. The Group is required
        
        
          to make contributions to the retirement schemes at rates ranging from 18% to 22% of the salaries, bonuses and
        
        
          certain allowances of the employees. A member of the scheme is entitled to a pension equal to a fixed proportion of
        
        
          the salary prevailing at his or her retirement date. The Group has no other material obligation for the payment of
        
        
          pension benefits associated with these schemes beyond the annual contributions described above.
        
        
          As at 31 December 2015 and 2014, there was no material outstanding contribution to post-employment benefit
        
        
          plans.
