               situated at 18 Wessels Road, Rivonia, 2128,

               (collectively, the "Telelet Properties") and the rental enterprises conducted by Telelet from such
               Telelet Properties (the "Telelet Rental Enterprise"), for an acquisition consideration of R50,000,000
               (the "Telelet Acquisition Consideration").

               Shareholders are further advised that Telemedia has entered into a sale of rental enterprise agreement
               (the "Trust Agreement") with the trustees for the time being of the Trust, in terms of which Telemedia
               has acquired the immovable property known as ERF 57 Richmond Township, measuring 495 square
               metres held by title deed 40002/2010 situated at 27 Landau Terrace, Melville (the "Trust Property"
               and with the Telelet Properties, the "Properties") and the rental enterprise conducted by the Trust from
               such Trust Property ("Trust Rental Enterprise"), for an acquisition consideration of R1,500,000 (the

               collectively, the "Transactions".

               leases.

2.     RATIONALE FOR THE TRANSACTIONS

       The Transactions present a strategic opportunity for Telemedia to acquire properties which currently are
       partially occupied by Telemedia for operational purposes, as well as to secure an additional rental revenue
       stream from the remaining portions, thus further diversifying Rex Trueform's existing portfolio of properties.

               Property shall be given by the Trust to Telemedia on the Effective Date of the Trust Property.
       3.2     It is envisaged that the transactions related to the Telelet Properties (with the exception of the property
               located at portion 1 of ERF 84 Edenburg) will be zero-rated in terms of the Value-Added Tax Act.
       3.3     All leases and contracts in respect of the Telelet Properties and the Trust Property will be assigned to
               the Company with effect from the Effective Date.

       3.6     The Trust has undertaken that it will, during the period between the date of last signature of the Trust
               Agreement ("Trust Signature Date") and the Effective Date, carry on the Trust Rental Enterprise in

               2024 in respect of the properties which are the subject of the Transactions and assumes that there are no
               unforeseen economic factors that will affect the ability of customers to meet their commitments in terms
               of existing lease agreements. For purposes of this announcement, the directors of the Company are
               satisfied with the quality of these management accounts.
       6.3     The financial information, including the assumptions on which it is based and the financial information
               from which it has been prepared, is the responsibility of the directors of the Company and has not been
               reviewed or reported on by independent reporting accountants.
