APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                           
Platfields is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Seth Radebe CA (SA)     
as an independent non-executive director, to the board of Platfields, with      
effect from 5 May 2011. Seth will also serve as a member of the company`s

Nominations Committee.                                                          
Platfields Chief Executive Mr Bongani Mbindwane, has welcomed Mr Radebe to      
the company`s board.  "We look forward to drawing on Seth`s extensive           
financial and auditing experience. This will stand us in good stead as the      
Audit and Risk Committee`s job becomes more onerous against the background      
of implementing the recommendations of King III."

organization), Deloitte & Touche, the South African Revenue Services and the    
Auditor General`s Office. He was also a non-executive director of the South     
African Forestry Company Limited.                                               
Seth is currently the managing director at Rebahale Inc., an audit, tax and     
advisory services firm, a non-executive director on various boards and          
chairs a number of Audit Committees including that of Africa Cellular Towers    
Limited (an AltX listed entity). Seth serves as independent Audit Committee     
chair of the Municipal Demarcation Board and as independent non-executive       
director of Yebo Yethu (a Vodacom empowerment vehicle). He is also a
