Johannesburg, March 20, 2015 – Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqGS: UEPS; JSE: NT1)
today provided a further update on the SASSA tender process.

Further to the directions provided by the South African Constitutional Court (“Court”) as described
in the Company's press releases dated February 6, 11, 18 and 26, 2015, the Court issued the
following order today:

1.     SASSA must effect its proposed amendments to the Request for Proposal (“RFP”) by April
       2, 2015, to address the remaining five objections raised by Cash Paymaster Services (Pty)
       Ltd (“CPS”).

2.     To the extent that CPS still has any remaining objections to the draft RFP as amended by
       SASSA in terms of 1 above:
       2.1. CPS shall notify the parties and the Court by April 16, 2015;
       2.2. The Court will issue directions for an urgent hearing to resolve CPS’s notified issues.

3.     Save in the event of any objections made in terms of 2 above:
       3.1. SASSA shall circulate the RFP to all the parties, the Court and the prospective
              bidders by April 17, 2015;
       3.2. All bids must be submitted by May 17, 2015; and
       3.3. SASSA shall award the new tender by October 15, 2015.

Certain parties also requested the Court for an order directing that parties may only approach the
Court for further relief if it is necessary to protect the interests of beneficiaries. The Court reserved
judgment on this issue.
