Trading Statement                                                               
Shareholders are advised that the Naspers group is presently finalising its     
provisional report for the year ended 31 March 2012.                            
We expect core headline earnings per share to be between 10% and 20% higher than
the comparable period`s 1 612 cents. Shareholders are reminded that the board   
considers core headline earnings an appropriate indicator of the sustainable    
operating performance of the group, as it adjusts for non-recurring and non-    
operational items.                                                              
Headline earnings per share for the period are expected to be between 10% and   
20% higher than the prior period`s 1 125 cents.                                 
It is expected that earnings per share for the year ended 31 March 2012, will be
between 40% and 50% lower compared to the prior period`s 1 405 cents, mainly as 
a consequence of once-off dilution gains in the prior year arising from the     
contribution of the group`s stake in Mail.ru into the newly listed entity.      
Further details will be provided in the provisional report, due to be released  
on or about 27 June 2012. Financial information on which this trading statement 
is based has not been reviewed or reported on by the company`s auditors.
