Change to the Board of Directors                                                
Shareholders are hereby notified that Mr Stephanus Goliath has been appointed as
a Non-Executive Director and member of the Audit Committee of SELCo with effect 
from 1 March 2012.                                                              
Mr Goliath obtained a BA UED degree from the University of the North in 1971.   
He held various teaching positions in secondary schools, with the longest being 
served in Tses, Southern Namibia, up to 1986, where he moved through the ranks  
from teacher to senior teacher to principal.  Thereafter he accepted the        
position as principal of the ECS Private School in Berseba (1986-1989).  In 1990
he entered politics, resulting in his appointment by the President of Namibia to
serve the Karas Region in Southern Namibia as Governor for more than a decade.  
The board would like to welcome Mr Goliath and is confident that his insight,   
wisdom and experience will be of great advantage to SELCo in years to come. The 
board also views it as valuable to have a Namibian voice on board, given that   
the Group`s main business is conducted in Namibia.
