MOST SHARES DOWN, DIDATA UP

SOUTH African shares moved softer in cautious early trade on lack of a new impetus and after Wall Street closed lower overnight. However local traders said the focus remained on South Africa’s largest IT company Didata, which accounted for more than half of the traded volumes on the Johannesburg bourse yesterday. Didata was last up 1.38 percent at 58.80 rand. London-listed Didata was last trading at 564-1/2 pence after closing at 563 pence yesterday.
