The JSE may be about to lose another two listings. Specialty chemicals group Rolfes unveiled an anticipated offer to take it private yesterday, while Peregrine Holdings rose close to 8% after it said it had received a non-binding expression of interest.

Meanwhile, Sibanye-Stillwater, which is reported to be contemplating shifting its primary listing to New York, hinted at the resumption of dividends towards the end of next year as it gets its debt under control. And Afrimat declared a juicy interim dividend after a strong first-half performance across its businesses.

Finally, as the weekend approaches you might want something softer on the eye - and the mind.

The summer sale will focus collectors' attention on the strong influence Paris exerted on South African art throughout the twentieth century. The top three lots in the upcoming sale are by Alexis Preller, William Kentridge, and Penny Siopis, highly acclaimed artists who each spent time in Paris early in their careers.
