DISPOSAL OF THE PROPERTY FUND MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY ADMINISTRATION BUSINESSES
OF INVESTEC PROPERTY GROUP LIMITED


It was announced on 30 May 2007 that Investec Property Group Limited ('IPG') had
agreed to dispose of its property fund management business and its property
administration business as a going concern to Growthpoint Properties Limited
('Growthpoint') subject to, inter alia, the granting of all regulatory approvals
as may be required from various authorities including the Competition
Authorities.


The Competition Tribunal has now approved the above transaction subject to the
removal of certain restraint terms and extension provisions in terms of which
Growthpoint was restricted from entering into property development transactions
and IPG from establishing a competing property administration and property asset
management business. Accordingly, the transaction is now unconditional.
