Sekunjalo Investments Limited - Press Release Sekunjalo Investments Limited ISIN: ZAE000017893 SHARE CODE: SKJ PRESS RELEASE 12 JUNE 2003 Sekunjalo Investments Limited announced, on 26 May 2003, its intention shortly to institute a damages action against Deloitte & Touche, the auditors of LeisureNet. At the time of the announcement, and in the light of the many investors (including many small-scale investors) who have lost their investments because of the financial collapse of LeisureNet, Sekunjalo was considering the possibility of taking the lead in a class action against Deloittes. Sekunjalo"s lawyers have prepared the papers necessary to institute the claim against Deloittes. However, Sekunjalo has decided to delay the issuing of summons against Deloittes for a further short period pending possible further developments. In preparing the papers, it has now become apparent that the basis on which Sekunjalo will sue Deloittes is possibly unique to Sekunjalo. This is because of the specific factual circumstances behind Sekunjalo"s investments in LeisureNet. Sekunjalo lawyers are giving further consideration to the possibility of a class action against Deloittes. In addition, Sekunjalo is waiting to hear from the attorneys representing the liquidator of LeisureNet as to whether or not the liquidator is intending to pursue its investigations in other jurisdictions, such as Malta, England and Germany. Sekunjalo hereby calls upon the liquidator to extend the commission of enquiry into those jurisdictions, where LeisureNet"s offshore arm, Health land, operated. Such an operation of the scope of the enquiry may impact on Sekunjalo"s claim. Ends Prepared on behalf of Sekunjalo Investments Limited by Mallinicks Attorneys For further information, please contact: Dr Iqbal Surve CEO - Sekunjalo Investments Limited Tel No: (021) 683 9100 Cell No: 082 491 0179 Date: 12/06/2003 03:32:24 PM Supplied by www.sharenet.co.za Produced by the JSE SENS Department
