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 both basic and    
fully diluted headline earnings per share for the twelve months ended June 2007 
to be between 25% and 35% higher than those of the prior comparative period, on 
a continued operation basis. Earnings per share and diluted earnings per share  
are expected to be between 15% and 25% higher than those of the prior           
comparative period as a result of significant capital profits in the comparative
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
