Update regarding the liquidation and continued suspension of shares
Shareholders are referred to the announcements released on SENS on
3 August 2015, 11 September 2015 and 10 December 2015, regarding
the Company being placed into provisional liquidation on 5 August
2015. The Joint Liquidators (“Liquidators”) appointed by the Master
of the High Court Durban are: Eugene Nel, Thami Mshengu, Roselyn
Noel and Selby Ntsibane.     The Liquidators appointments were made
final on the 18th November 2015.
1.   The first liquidation and distribution(L&D)account was
     confirmed on the 6th July 2016;
2.   The first L&D account only dealt with debtors collected thus
     far, as the landlord had lodged a claim in the amount of
     R609,529,597-52, which claim the Master of the High Court had
     rejected.   As advised previously, the landlord had requested
     that we do not pay preferent and concurrent creditors and that
     we do not do a distribution on the movable assets as they
     believe that their part, or full claim constitutes a cost in
     the administration;
3.   The liquidators have engaged in the services of a Quantity
     Surveyor to report on the claim for the purposes of settling
     the Landlord.
4.   Once we are in possession of the Quantity Surveyors report,
     settlement negotiations with the Landlord will continue.
Shareholders are advised that the liquidation process is ongoing
and that the trading in the shares of the company remains
suspended.
A recovery for shareholders appears to be extremely unlikely.

The statutory report, resolutions, circulars to creditors and
liquidation & distribution account can be downloaded from the
