Midrand, South Africa, August 2, 2018 - MiX Telematics Limited (NYSE: MIXT, JSE: MIX), a leading global provider of fleet and
mobile asset management solutions delivered as Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”), today announced financial results for its first quarter
of fiscal year 2019, which ended June 30, 2018.

“The first quarter marked a very strong start to the fiscal year. Subscription revenue grew more than 18% on a constant currency basis
and adjusted EBITDA margin of close to 28% expanded over 450 basis points year-over-year,” said Stefan Joselowitz, Chief Executive
Officer of MiX Telematics. “Our results were driven by ongoing robust demand globally from our premium fleet customers, across
all verticals. MiX is well positioned to deliver against our long-term goals given our differentiated portfolio of products, a growing
pipeline of global opportunities, and multiple levers to generate further margin accretion.”

Financial performance for the three months ended June 30, 2018
Subscription revenue: Subscription revenue was R390.4 million ($28.4 million), an increase of 16.4% compared with R335.4 million
($24.4 million) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Subscription revenue increased by 18.4% year over year on a constant currency
basis. Subscription revenue benefited from an increase of over 66,000 subscribers, representing an increase in subscribers of 10.6%
from July 2017 to June 2018. Subscription revenue also benefited from an increase in average revenue per user.

Total revenue: Total revenue was R456.8 million ($33.3 million), an increase of 12.6% compared to R405.7 million ($29.6 million)
for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Total revenue increased by 14.4% year over year on a constant currency basis. Hardware and
other revenue was R66.4 million ($4.8 million), a decrease of 5.5% compared to R70.3 million ($5.1 million) for the first quarter of
fiscal year 2018.

Gross margin: Gross profit was R305.8 million ($22.3 million), as compared to R271.5 million ($19.8 million) for the first quarter
of fiscal year 2018. Gross profit margin was 66.9%, consistent with the prior year’s first quarter.
Operating margin: Operating profit was R67.7 million ($4.9 million), compared to R42.9 million ($3.1 million) for the first quarter
of fiscal year 2018. Operating profit margin was 14.8%, compared to 10.6% for the prior year’s first quarter. The margin expansion
was attributable primarily to revenue growth leveraging our fixed overhead and ongoing cost management initiatives. Operating
expenses of R238.0 million ($17.3 million) have increased by R6.5 million ($0.5 million) since the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Despite
the 12.6% revenue increase described above, the increase in operating costs was limited to 2.8%.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure, was R126.4 million ($9.2 million) compared to R93.9 million
($6.8 million) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-IFRS measure, for the first quarter of fiscal
year 2019 was 27.7%, compared to 23.1% for the comparative prior year period. The company reported a 28.7% Adjusted EBITDA
margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, including a 1.3% uplift related to hardware sales not repeated in the current quarter.

Profit for the period and earnings per share: Profit for the period was R14.4 million ($1.1 million), compared to R33.9 million
($2.5 million) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Earnings per diluted ordinary share were 2 South African cents, compared to 6
South African cents in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the calculation was based on diluted
weighted average ordinary shares in issue of 586.6 million compared to 567.0 million diluted weighted average ordinary shares in
issue during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Profit for the period includes a net foreign exchange loss of R0.2 million ($0.02 million) before tax. A net foreign exchange loss of
R5.0 million ($0.4 million) was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter was
78.7%, compared to 14.0% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Ignoring the impact of net foreign exchange gains and losses, and
related tax consequences, the tax rate which is used in determining adjusted earnings below, was 28.4% compared to 30.8% in the
first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The tax impact in respect of foreign exchange movements is set out in the reconciliation of adjusted
earnings in the financial tables which accompany this press release.

On a U.S. Dollar basis, and using the June 30, 2018 exchange rate of R13.7255 per U.S. Dollar, and at a ratio of 25 ordinary shares to
one American Depositary Share (“ADS”), profit for the period was $1.1 million, or 4 U.S. cents per diluted ADS.

Adjusted earnings for the period and adjusted earnings per share: Adjusted earnings for the period, a non-IFRS measure, was
R48.7 million ($3.6 million), compared to R30.7 million ($2.2 million) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 and excludes a net
foreign exchange loss of R0.2 million ($0.02 million). During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, a net foreign exchange loss of
R5.0 million ($0.4 million) was recorded. Adjusted earnings per diluted ordinary share, also a non-IFRS measure, were 8 South
African cents, compared to 5 South African cents in the prior year comparative period.

On a U.S. Dollar basis, and using the June 30, 2018 exchange rate of R13.7255 per U.S. Dollar, and at a ratio of 25 ordinary shares to
one ADS, adjusted earnings for the period was $3.6 million, or 15 U.S. cents per diluted ADS.

Statement of financial position and cash flow: At June 30, 2018, the Company had R225.6 million ($16.4 million) of net cash and
cash equivalents, compared to R290.5 million ($21.2 million) at March 31, 2018. The Company generated R22.8 million ($1.7 million)
in net cash from operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and invested R78.3 million ($5.7 million) in capital
expenditures during the quarter, including investments in in-vehicle devices of R57.3 million ($4.2 million), leading to negative free
cash flow, a non-IFRS measure, of R55.5 million ($4.0 million) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, compared with negative free
cash flow of R64.0 million ($4.7 million) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company utilized R19.1 million ($1.4 million)
in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, which included dividends paid of R16.9 million ($1.2 million). The Company
utilized R30.0 million ($2.2 million) in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The cash utilized in financing activities
in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 included the repurchase of 5.0 million ordinary shares, which resulted in a cash outflow of
R18.7 million ($1.4 million) and dividends paid of R11.3 million ($0.8 million).

Business Outlook
MiX Telematics has translated U.S. Dollar amounts in this Business Outlook paragraph from South African Rand at the exchange rate
of R13.1760 per $1.00, which was the R/$ exchange rate reported by Oanda.com as of July 30, 2018.
Based on information as of today, August 2, 2018, the Company is issuing the following financial guidance for the full 2019 fiscal
year:

•    Subscription revenue - R1,624 million to R1,645 million ($123.3 million to $124.8 million), which would represent subscription
     revenue growth of 13.2% to 14.7% compared to fiscal year 2018. On a constant currency basis, this would represent subscription
     revenue growth of 13.5% to 15.0%. This constant currency growth is unchanged from our previous guidance.

•    Total revenue - R1,864 million to R1,895 million ($141.5 million to $143.8 million), which would represent revenue growth of
     8.8% to 10.7% compared to fiscal year 2018. On a constant currency basis, this would represent revenue growth of 9.1% to
     10.9%. This constant currency growth is unchanged from our previous guidance.

•    Adjusted EBITDA - R526 million to R545 million ($39.9 million to $41.4 million), which would represent an increase in
     Adjusted EBITDA of 19.0% to 23.3% compared to fiscal year 2018.

•    Adjusted earnings per diluted ordinary share of 31.2 to 33.2 South African cents based on 587 million diluted ordinary shares in
     issue, and based on an effective tax rate of 28% to 31%. At a ratio of 25 ordinary shares to one ADS, this equates to adjusted
     earnings per diluted ADS of 59 to 63 U.S. cents.

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2019 the Company expects subscription revenue to be in the range of R401 million to R406
million ($30.4 million to $30.8 million) which would represent subscription revenue growth of 14.8% to 16.2% compared to the
second quarter of fiscal year 2018. On a constant currency basis, this would represent subscription revenue growth of 15.1% to 16.6%.

The key assumptions used in deriving the forecast are as follows:
•    Growth in subscription revenue and subscribers are based on expected growth rates related to market conditions and takes into
     account growth rates achieved previously.

•    Achieving hardware sales according to expectations. Hardware sales are dependent on the volumes of bundled solutions selected
     by customers.

•    An average forecast exchange rate for the 2019 fiscal year of R13.0900 per $1.00.

The forecast is the responsibility of the board of directors and has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s external
auditors. The Company’s policy is to give guidance on a quarterly basis, if necessary, and does not update guidance between quarters.

The information disclosed in this “Business Outlook” section complies with the disclosure requirements of paragraph 8.38 of the JSE
Listings Requirements, which addresses profit forecasts.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995, including without limitation, statements concerning our financial guidance for the second quarter and full year of fiscal 2019,
our position to execute on our growth strategy, and our ability to expand our leadership position. These forward-looking statements
reflect our current views about our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects, which are based on the information
currently available to us and on assumptions we have made. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-
looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors that are beyond our control including, without limitation, those
described under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, as updated by other reports that the Company files with or furnishes
to the SEC. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this press release as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-IFRS financial measures
Adjusted EBITDA
To provide investors with additional information regarding its financial results, the Company has disclosed within this press release,
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-IFRS financial
measures, and they do not represent cash flows from operations for the periods indicated, and should not be considered an alternative
to net income as an indicator of the Company’s results of operations, or as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indicator
of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the profit for the period before income taxes, net finance income/(costs) including foreign
exchange gains/(losses), depreciation of property, plant and equipment including capitalized customer in-vehicle devices and right-
of-use assets, amortization of intangible assets including capitalized in-house development costs and intangible assets identified as
part of a business combination, share-based compensation costs, restructuring costs, profits/(losses) on the disposal or impairments of
assets or subsidiaries, insurance reimbursements relating to impaired assets and certain litigation costs.

The Company has included Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in this press release because they are key measures that
the Company’s management and Board of Directors use to understand and evaluate its core operating performance and trends; to
prepare and approve its annual budget; and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain
expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin can provide a useful measure for period-to-period
comparisons of the Company’s core business. Accordingly, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
margin provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results.

The Company’s use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure
in isolation from or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitations are:
•    although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced
     in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new
     capital expenditure requirements;
•    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs;
•    Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation;
•    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments or the payment of lease liabilities that may represent a reduction in cash available
     to the Company; and
•    other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness
     as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including
operating profit, profit for the period and the Company’s other results.

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted earnings per share is defined as profit attributable to owners of the parent, MiX Telematics Limited, excluding net foreign
exchange gains/(losses) net of tax, divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

The Company has included Adjusted earnings per share in this press release because it provides a useful measure for period-to-period
comparisons of the Company’s core business by excluding net foreign exchange gains/(losses) from earnings. Accordingly, the
Company believes that Adjusted earnings per share provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating
the Company’s operating results.

Free cash flow
Free cash flow is determined as net cash generated from operating activities less capital expenditures for investing activities. The
Company believes that free cash flow provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the
Company’s cash flows as it provides detail of the amount of cash the Company generates or utilizes after accounting for all capital
expenditures including investments in in-vehicle devices and development expenditure.

Notes to condensed consolidated income statement, statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and other financial
and operating data

1. Accounting policies
  The condensed consolidated statement of financial position, income statement and statement of cash flows included in these financial
  results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) accounting policies. The
  accounting policies are consistent in all material respects with those applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
  for the year ended March 31, 2018 except for the adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), IFRS 15 Revenue from
  Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) and IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”) during the quarter under review.

Adoption IFRS 9, IFRS 15 and IFRS 16:
IFRS 9 is effective for the Group from April 1, 2018.

IFRS 15 permits a modified retrospective cumulative catch-up approach for the adoption, which the Group has decided to apply. Under
this approach, the Group has recognized transitional adjustments in retained earnings on the date of initial application (i.e. April 1, 2018),
without restating the comparative period. Under the practical expedient, the new requirements were only applied to contracts that were
not completed as of April 1, 2018.

IFRS 16 applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, but can be early adopted. Given that the Group
applied IFRS 15 from April 1, 2018, the Group decided to early adopt IFRS 16 from this date.

The Group has chosen to apply the ‘simplified approach’ on adoption of IFRS 16 that includes certain relief related to the measurement
of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at April 1, 2018, rather than full retrospective application. Furthermore, the ‘simplified
approach’ does not require a restatement of comparatives.

Refer to Note 2.1.1.2 of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 for further details on the adoption of
the above mentioned standards.

(1) Contract assets related to fixed escalations.
(2) Reversal of lease prepayment and lease accruals under IAS 17 Leases. These have been reflected in the measurement of the lease
    liability under IFRS 16.
(3) Includes the current portion of additional recurring commission liability of R2.9 million ($0.2 million) and increase in liabilities
    related to contracts with customers due to significant financing adjustments of R1.8 million ($0.1 million).

Summary of the impact on the first quarter of fiscal 2019 of adopting IFRS 9, IFRS 15 and IFRS 16:
Other than a R1.8 million ($0.1 million) increase in finance costs primarily as a result of IFRS 15 significant financing activity interest
expense and IFRS 16 capitalized lease liability interest, the impact on each line item in the condensed consolidated income statement
for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was not material.

The only adjustment to the statement of cash flows was an outflow of R2.2 million ($0.2 million) in respect of lease liability payments
being recorded in cash flows from financing activities as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16. This outflow was previously accounted for
as an operating lease expense and included under cash generated from operations.

The results have not been audited or reviewed by the Group’s external auditors.

7. Assets Classified as Held for Sale
  The assets classified as held for sale relate to the property owned by the Central Services Organization, a division of MiX Telematics
  International Proprietary Limited. No impairment loss was recognized on reclassification of the property as held for sale as the fair
  value (estimated based on the recent market prices of similar properties in similar locations) less costs to sell is higher than the carrying
  amount. Management anticipate that the sale will be completed by the end of fiscal 2019.

9. Share Repurchase
  As of May 23, 2017, the MiX Telematics Board approved a share repurchase program of up to R270 million ($19.7 million) under
  which the Company may repurchase its ordinary shares, including American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”). The Company may
  repurchase its shares from time to time in its discretion through open market transactions and block trades, based on ongoing
  assessments of the capital needs of the Company, the market price of its securities and general market conditions. This share repurchase
  program may be discontinued at any time by the Board of Directors, and the Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of
  its securities under the program. The repurchase program will be funded out of existing cash resources.

  No purchases were made under the share repurchase program during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019.

At June 30, 2018, the following purchases had been made under the share repurchase program:

Subsequent to the repurchase, the shares were delisted and now form part of the authorized unissued share capital of the Company.

10. Dividend Paid
    In respect of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018 which ended on March 31, 2018, a dividend of 3 South African cents (0.2 U.S.
    cents) per ordinary share was declared during the period and paid on June 4, 2018. In respect of the fourth quarter of fiscal year
    2017, a dividend of 2 South African cents or 0.1 U.S. cents per share was paid on June 19, 2017.

11. Contingent Liabilities
    Service agreement
    In terms of an amended network services agreement with Mobile Telephone Networks Proprietary Limited (“MTN”), MTN is entitled
    to claw back payments from MiX Telematics Africa Proprietary Limited in the event of early cancellation of the agreement or certain
    base connections not being maintained over the term of the agreement. No connection incentives will be received in terms of the
    amended network services agreement. The maximum potential liability under the arrangement is R42.6 million or $3.1 million. No
    loss is considered probable under this arrangement.

12. Taxation
    Section 11D Allowances relating to tax assets recognized
    MiX Telematics International Proprietary Limited (“MiX International”), a subsidiary of the Group, historically claimed a 150%
    allowance for research and development spend in terms of section 11D (“S11D”) of the South African Income Tax Act No. 58 of
    1962 (“the Act”). As of October 1, 2012, the legislation relating to the allowance was amended. The amendment requires pre-
    approval of development project expenditure on a project specific basis by the South African Department of Science and Technology
    (“DST”) in order to claim a deduction of the additional 50% over and above the expenditure incurred (150% allowance). Since the
    amendments to S11D of the Act, MiX International had been claiming the 150% deduction resulting in a recognized tax benefit.
    MiX International has complied with the amended legislation by submitting all required documentation to the DST in a timely
    manner, commencing in October 2012.

   In June 2014, correspondence was received from the DST indicating that the research and development expenditure on certain
   projects for which the 150% allowance was claimed in the 2013 and 2014 fiscal years did not, in the DST’s opinion, constitute
   qualifying expenditure in terms of the Act. MiX International, through due legal process, had formally requested a review of the
   DST’s decision not to approve this expenditure. While approvals were obtained for a portion of this project expenditure as a result
   of a further review performed by the DST in February 2017, we continue to seek approval for the remaining projects and as such the
   legal process is ongoing. In addition to the approvals that were subject to the legal process, further approvals have been obtained for
   certain project expenditure, relating to both current and prior financial years. However, at period end, an uncertain tax position
   remains in relation to S11D deductions in respect of which approvals remain pending.

   Since the introduction of the DST pre-approval process, the Group has recognized in the income statement cumulative tax incentives
   in addition to the incurred cost of R21.3 million ($1.6 million) in respect of S11D deductions, of which R0.8 million ($0.1 million)
   was recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2018. R18.5 million ($1.3 million) relates to deductions in respect of development
   project expenditure which has been approved by the DST. R2.8 million ($0.2 million) relates to an uncertain tax position in respect
   of projects where approvals have not yet been received from the DST. If the Group is unsuccessful in this regard, the Group will not
   recover the R2.8 million ($0.2 million) raised at June 30, 2018.

13.Dividend Declared
   On July 31, 2018, the Board declared in respect of the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, which ended on June 30, 2018, a dividend of
