year).
 
The record date for this dividend payment is the close of business on 
Friday, 9 May 2008 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

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