Afternoon, everyone. I really feel that I'm privileged to welcome you to -- it sounds like I've got a little bit of an echo here. okay? Thank you.
Well, it's really a great afternoon in the sense that I believe we have a management team that's going to present some sterling results on the one hand. On the other hand, it's really a sad day, which is why I'm standing here because it's Leila, our well versed CEO, forthcoming and last set of results. Leila has obviously had a number of stints at the JSE in different capacities with the final one being as the CEO over a period of almost 7 years.
It feels like you came in yesterday, but it's been almost 7 years. And during that period, I have had the privilege and the honor to work with Leila. And I think it would be an understatement to say it's been a period full of cross-pollination, incredible amounts of energy and passion. And as a result, so much was achieved. I will have the opportunity to say more this afternoon, so I don't want to make this a long speech.
