Full amount of shares paid out or profit?

I had MTN Zakhele shares which reach maturity and were paid out in December 2016. Do I include the amount that was paid into my bank account or the difference between what I paid for the shares vs what I sold them for?

This query relates to question 6431 "Please enter the total amount received from the sale here. This is known as the proceeds." in the Capital Gains section.

You need to capture the total amount as per the certificate you were sent from MTN, if they did not send you anything, kindly capture the amount you received in your bank account please.
