INSIMBI INCREASES BEE SHAREHOLDING                                              
AltX listed Insimbi today announced the sale of 15 million shares to Mayibuye   
Capital (Pty) Ltd ("Mayibuye"), a 100% black owned company.                     
The sale will be facilitated through Insimbi`s five largest shareholders selling
a total of 15 million shares to Mayibuye at 80 cents per share. This will result
in 6.62% of the total issued share capital of Insimbi being held by Mayibuye,   
taking into account Mayibuye`s existing 0.86% shareholding in the company,      
acquired at Insimbi`s listing in March 2008.                                    
The directors further displayed their positive outlook on the relationship with 
Mayibuye by financing 33% of the transaction.  The sale will be financed by the 
directors over two years with payments in 3 tranches i.e.  67% of the amount    
being paid on the transaction`s effective date and 16.5% of the amount being    
paid on the first and second anniversaries of the effective date.  The finance  
provided by the vendors will be interest free.                                  
Mayibuye has agreed to hold the shares for a minimum period of 5 years after the
transaction becomes effective, as it intends to be a long term shareholder in   
the company.
