The 5 South African Companies With Market Caps Above South African Rand (ZAR) 200 Bil and Reporting in ZAR Generated 2016 Total Earnings Which Were Down 39% From 2015 and Down 43% From 2014

From a review of the fine Google Finance Website and company investor relations websites, I found 7 Companies headquartered in South Africa which had Stock Market Capitalizations now of more than ZAR 200 Bil.  The ZAR is now equal to US$ 0.07465.

Five of these seven Companies reported in ZAR for all years, and the other two switched recently to US$s and to EUROs.   
 
Below here are the reported Net Profits (Losses) first for each of these 5 Companies reporting in ZAR for all years from 2007 through 2016, and then followed by the Company now reporting in US$s and the Company now reporting in EUROs:
