TRADING UPDATE                                                                  
In terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, companies are required to    
publish a trading update as soon as they are reasonably certain that the        
financial results for the current reporting period will be more than 20%        
different from that of the previous corresponding period.                       
In light of the aforementioned requirements, Shoprite expects diluted           
headline earnings per share on continued operations to be between 20% to 30%    
higher than those of the prior comparative period.                              
Both basic and diluted earnings per share and headline earnings per share on    
all operations for the six months ended 31 December 2006 are expected to be     
between 25% to 35% higher than those of the prior comparative period. This      
is as a result of capital profits in the period under review and a loss         
incurred in discontinued operations during the prior period.                    
Shareholders are advised that the above information has not been reviewed or    
reported on by Shoprite`s external auditors. The company`s results for the      
six months ended 31 December 2006 are expected to be released on or about 20    
February 2007.
