APPOINTMENT OF AN INDEPENDENT NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

In terms of paragraph 3.59 of the Listing Requirements of the JSE
Limited, shareholders are advised that Dr Brian Armstrong has been
appointed to the Board as an independent non-executive director,
with effect from 1 September 2017.

Dr Armstrong has more than 30 years of top level management
experience in telecommunications, IT, technology research and
development and systems engineering, both in South Africa and
internationally. He is widely regarded as a thought leader in
digitalisation, convergence and business strategy.

Dr Armstrong presently holds the position of Professor in the Chair of
Digital Business at Wits Business School, where he focusses on building a
comprehensive knowledge base on the diverse dimensions of Digital
Business, and developing more scientifically rigorous models for core
concepts in digitalisation.

Previously, Dr Armstrong held the positions of Group Chief Operating
Officer and Group Chief Commercial Officer at Telkom SA SOC
Limited, where he formed an integral part of the leadership team
credited with turning the group around. In his time with Telkom, Dr
Armstrong revived the ailing Telkom Business unit and conceived and
led the acquisition of BCX and its integration into the group. He was
also responsible for the group’s Retail unit, as well as leading group
strategy and transformation activities.

Prior to joining Telkom in 2010, Dr Armstrong was the Vice President for
Middle East and Africa at the BT Group Plc, and was tasked with
responsibility for overseeing and growing the group’s activities across
that region. Prior to joining the BT Group, Dr Armstrong held various
positions at the CSIR, ultimately as the Director of the Division for
Information and Communications Technology. He was the Managing
Director of listed ICT services Group AST Networks (now Gijima).

Dr Armstrong completed his BSc (Eng) and MSc (Eng) at the University
of the Witwatersrand in 1982 and 1984 respectively, and obtained his
PhD from University College London in 1992.

The Board welcomes Dr Armstrong to the Huge Group and looks
forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship.
