TRADING STATEMENT                                                               
As required by the JSE Limited Listing Requirements, a company is required to   
announce on SENS, once it is reasonably certain that its results will differ by 
more than 20% over the corresponding reporting period. The company advises that 
it expects basic, headline and core headline earnings per share for the year    
ending 31 March 2011 to increase by more than 20% over the comparable period.   
However, given the early stage in the reporting period, the company cannot yet  
forecast with any degree of certainty the results to 31 March 2011 and a further
announcement will be made once this is possible.                                
The forecast financial information on which this trading statement is based has 
not been reviewed and reported on by the company`s auditors.
