Disclosure of beneficial interests in securities

In terms of paragraph 3.83(b) of the JSE Listings
Requirements and section 122(3)(b) of the Companies Act,
No. 171 of 2008, as amended, Massmart shareholders are
advised that on 16 March 2012 Massmart was notified by
Aberdeen Asset Managers Limited (“Aberdeen”) that Aberdeen
had acquired a beneficial interest in Massmart ordinary
shares such that the total of all beneficial interests of
Massmart ordinary shares held by Aberdeen was then 15.33%
of the total issued Massmart ordinary shares.    Due to an
oversight the required announcement was not timeously
released on the JSE Limited Stock Exchange News Service.
Massmart regrets this oversight.

Aberdeen has informed Massmart that at 12 November 2013
their shareholding was 18.97%.
