FURTHER TRADING UPDATE                                                          
Shareholders are referred to the trading update released on Monday, 10 January  
2005, in which it was announced that the trading period for the six months ended
2 January 2005, comprised 27 weeks, as against the previous corresponding       
period, which comprised 26 weeks. Accordingly, shareholders are advised that the
headline earnings per share are expected to be 50% - 60% higher than those for  
the previous corresponding period. This is due to the longer trading period as  
well as a decrease in foreign exchange losses.                                  
Earnings per share are however only expected to increase 10% - 20% when compared
to the previous corresponding period due to a large exceptional item relating to
the amortisation of negative goodwill, which came through in the results for the
six months ended 31 December 2003 and which was not repeated for the period     
ended 2 January 2005.                                                           
Further details will be provided when Shoprite"s results for the six months     
ended 2 January 2005 are published on 22 February 2005.
