CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


1.     INTRODUCTION

1.1.    Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on
        19 January 2023, in which it was advised that Ms Ingiphile Pamela Mogotlane resigned
        as a non-executive director from the board of directors of the Company (“Board”), as
        a member of the Company’s audit and risk committee (“Audit and Risk Committee”)
        and as the chairperson of the Company’s social, ethics and transformation committee
        (“Social and Ethics Committee”), following the end of her tenure as a representative
        of a material shareholder of Insimbi.

1.2.    Following Ms Mogotlane’s resignation, the remuneration and nominations committee
        of the Company (“Nominations Committee”) evaluated and considered the suitability
        of the composition and size of the Board. The Nominations Committee concluded and
        was satisfied that, given the combined knowledge, skills and expertise of the
        management teams and the directors of the Company and its operating subsidiaries
        (collectively, the “Group”), a smaller and more streamlined Board, as detailed below,
        will be more suited to the Group and will be able to fulfil its obligations and discharge
        its governance responsibilities effectively and efficiently.

1.3.    To uphold the good corporate governance practices of the Group and to maintain the
        balanced composition and level of independence of the Board, in compliance with the
        applicable corporate governance requirements and recommendations, the
        Nominations Committee made certain recommendations regarding the composition of
        the Board and board committees of the Company, as set out below.

1.4.    The Board herewith wishes to advise shareholders, in accordance with paragraph 3.59
