TRADING UPDATE

In terms of para 3.4 (b) of the JSE Listings Requirements, listed companies
are required to publish a trading statement as soon as the board of directors
is satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial
results for the period to be reported on next will vary by 20% or more when
compared to those of the prior reporting period.

Shareholders are advised that for the six months ended 31 December 2018 the
following, basic and diluted, earnings per shares are expected:

                       31-12-2018          31-12-2017
                        EXPECTED             UNAUDITED       VARIANCE

Earnings
per share (“EPS”)       17.5c to 20.5c           14.7c      +19% to +39%

Headline earnings
Per share (“HEPS”)      17.5c to 20.5c           14.6c      +20% to +40%

No items have been classified in the current period as being adjustable for
normalised earnings as the Board would like to move away from this as a
measure; the results announcement will however reflect this measure as a
comparative.
