for the year ended 31 December 2005 of 3.65p per share (making a total of 5.5p

for the year).



The record date for this dividend payment is the close of business on Friday,

21 April 2006 for all the Exchanges where the Company's shares are listed. The

last day to trade cum-dividend on the JSE and on the Namibian, Zimbabwe and

Malawi Stock Exchanges will be Wednesday, 12 April 2006 and Tuesday, 18 April

equivalents of the dividend under dividend access trust arrangements

established in each country. Shareholders who hold their shares through VPC AB,

the Swedish nominee, will be paid the equivalent of the dividend in Swedish

Kronor (SEK). Local currency equivalents of the dividend, for all five

territories, will be determined by the Company using exchange rates prevailing

at close of business on Tuesday, 28 March 2006 and will be announced by the

Company on Wednesday, 29 March 2006.
