FURTHER ANNOUNCEMENT DISPOSAL OF INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER BUSINESS (MWEB)

1. Introduction
In an announcement published on 2 June 2008 Naspers stated that it had initiated a formal process to dispose of its internet service provider (ISP) business MWEB. Shareholders are now advised that an agreement has been concluded for the sale of MWEB’s sub-Saharan Africa business excluding South Africa (“MWEB Africa”) to Telkom International (Proprietary) Limited (“the transaction”). This is a wholly owned subsidiary of Telkom SA Limited, a leading African telecommunications company. The purchase price for the MWEB Africa group including AFSAT is equivalent to an equity value of US$63 million (approximately R610 million).
 
2. Conditions
The transaction is subject to the fulfillment of conditions precedent, including regulatory consents being obtained in certain African jurisdictions. The transaction is expected to close by 30 April 2009.
 
3. Disposal of MWEB South Africa
Given economic conditions globally and the contraction in credit markets, shareholders are also advised that Naspers has terminated the auction process for the disposal of MWEB South Africa.
