                                    BUSINESS

6.   (a)  Any branch or kind of business which the Company is either expressly
          or by implication authorised to undertake may be undertaken by the
          directors at such time or times as they shall think fit, and further
          may be suffered by them to be in abeyance, whether such branch or kind
          of business may have been actually commenced or not, so long as the
          directors may deem it expedient not to commence or proceed with the
          same.

     (b)  The management and control of any business of the Company shall be
          vested in the directors who in addition to the powers and authorities
          by these articles expressly conferred upon them, may exercise all such
          powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by
          the Company, and are not hereby or by the Statutes expressly directed
          or required to be exercised or done by the Company in general meeting,
          but subject nevertheless to such management and control not being
          inconsistent with these articles nor with any resolution passed by the
          Company in general meeting; but so that no such resolution shall

          if such resolution had not been passed. The general powers given by
          this article shall not be limited or restricted by any special
          authority or power given to the directors by any other article.

          interested, shall be carried on by or through one or more subsidiaries
          of the Company and they may on behalf of the Company make such
          arrangements as they think advisable for taking the profits or bearing
          the losses of any branch or business so carried on, or for financing,
          assisting or subsidising any such subsidiary or guaranteeing its
          contracts, obligations or liabilities.

                                     SHARES

7.   Subject always to the provisions of Sections 221 and 222 of the Act, the
     listings requirements of any Stock Exchange on which the shares of the
     Company are listed or quoted and these articles, any shares for the time
     being unissued (whether forming part of the original or any increased
     capital) shall, subject as hereinafter provided, only be disposed of or
     dealt with in such manner as the Company in general meeting may have
     directed or may direct, but so that the Company in general meeting may
     resolve that all or any of such shares shall be at the disposal of the
     directors, who may in such event allot, grant options over, or otherwise
     deal with or dispose of them to such persons at such times, and generally
     on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, whether payable
     in cash or otherwise, as they may think proper; but so that no shares shall
     be issued at a discount except in accordance with Section 81 of the Act.

8.   Without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders
     of existing shares and subject to any provisions of these articles, any
     share in the Company may be issued with or have attached thereto such
     preferred, deferred or other special rights or such restrictions, whether
     in regard to dividend, return of share capital or otherwise, and (subject
     as provided by the Act) such limited or suspended rights to voting as the
     Company in general meeting may from time to time determine; provided that
     the Company may by resolution passed at a general meeting direct that
     shares shall be issued by the directors on such terms and conditions, and
     with such rights, privileges or restrictions attached thereto as the
     directors may determine.

9.   The Company may exercise the powers of paying commissions conferred by
     Section 80 of the Act, provided that the rate or amount of the commission
     paid or agreed to be paid and the number of shares which persons have
     agreed for a commission to subscribe absolutely will be disclosed in the
     manner required by the said section, and that such commission shall not
     exceed 10 % (ten per centum) of the price at which the shares in respect
     whereof the same is paid are issued. Such commission may be satisfied by
     the payment of cash. The Company may also on any issue of shares pay such
     brokerage as may be lawful.

10.  If any shares of the Company are issued for the purpose of raising money to
     defray the expenses of the construction of any works or buildings or the
     provision of any plant which cannot be made profitable for a lengthy
     period, the Company may, subject to the conditions and restrictions
     mentioned in Section 79 of the Act, pay interest on so much of such share
     capital as is for the time being paid up and may charge the same to capital
     as part of the cost of construction of the works or buildings or the
     provision of plant.

11.  Except as ordered by a Court of competent jurisdiction or as by law
     required, the Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of
     any share as the absolute owner thereof, so that no person shall be
     recognised by the Company as holding any share upon any trust, and the
     Company shall not be bound by or be compelled in any way to recognise (even
     when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial
     interest in any share or (except only as by these articles or by law
     otherwise provided)



                                      -4-


     any other right in respect of any share except an absolute right to the
     entirety thereof in the registered holder.


                                  CERTIFICATES

12.  The certificates of title to shares, debentures or other securities of the
     Company shall be issued under the authority of the directors or of a local
     committee or board when authorised thereto by the directors, in such manner
     and form as the directors may from time to time prescribe, and shall
     (subject as hereinafter provided) bear the autographic signatures of two
     directors or of one director and one officer authorised thereto by the
     directors; or of two members of a local committee or board or of one member
     and the secretary of such local committee or board: Provided that:

     (i)  the directors may by resolution determine either generally or in any
          particular case or cases that the signatures of such directors or
          director and officer or members or member and secretary (or any of
          them) need not be autographic but may be signatures;

     (ii) the directors and the Company shall comply with Sections 94 and 126 of
          the Act.

     For the purposes of this Article only the expression "signature" shall not
     include names impressed with a rubber or other kind of stamp.

13.  If any shares are numbered, all such shares shall be numbered in numerical
     progression, beginning with the number one, and each share shall be
     distinguished by its appropriate number, and if any shares are not
     numbered, all share certificates in respect of such shares shall be
     numbered in numerical progression, and each share certificate shall be
     distinguished by its appropriate number, and by such endorsement as may be
     required by the Statutes.

14.  Every person whose name is entered as a member in the register shall be
     entitled, without payment, to receive within one month after allotment or
     twenty-one days after lodgement of transfer one certificate for all his
     shares of any one class, or several certificates each for one or more of
     his shares of such class upon payment of such sum not exceeding five rands
     for every certificate after the first, as the directors shall from time to
     time determine. Every certificate of shares shall specify the number of
     shares in respect of which it is issued and the amount paid up thereon at
     the date of issue. In the case of a member who has transferred a part of
     his holding of shares of any class he shall be entitled to receive a
     certificate free of charge for the balance of his holding: Provided that
     notwithstanding anything herein contained or implied to the contrary where
     shares are registered in the names of two or more persons they shall be
     treated as one member for the purposes of this article.

15.  If a share certificate be defaced, lost or destroyed, it may be replaced on
     payment of any stamp duty payable on the new certificate and on such terms
     (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and payment of the out-of-pocket
     expenses of the Company of investigating such evidence and, in the case of
     loss or destruction, of advertising the same, as the


                                      -5-


     directors may think fit and, in the case of defacement, on delivery of the
     old certificate to the Company.

16.  The certificate for shares registered in the names of two or more persons
     shall be delivered to the person first named in the register in respect
     thereof, or to his authorised agent, and in case of the legal incapacity of
     any one or more of the joint registered holders of any shares, the survivor
     then first named in the register shall be the only person recognised by the
     Company as being entitled to such certificate, or any new certificate which
     may be issued in place thereof: Provided always that the Company shall not
     be bound to register more than four persons as the holders of any share.


                               REGISTER OF MEMBERS

17.  The directors shall cause to be kept a register of members at the place and
     in the manner specified in the Statutes and may cause to be kept a branch
     register or registers in any foreign country or countries, and, subject to
     the provisions of the Statutes, make and vary such regulations as they may
     think fit, respecting the keeping of any such branch registers.


                           TRUSTS IN RESPECT OF SHARES

18.  The directors shall cause to be established and maintained a register of
     disclosures made to the Company of the identity of beneficial holders, in
     the manner specified in the Statutes. The directors may in their discretion
     record in the Company's register of members that any share is held in trust
     or by a nominee and for whom that share is so held.


                               TRANSFER OF SHARES

19.  The transfer books and register of members may upon notice being given by
     advertisement in the Gazette and a newspaper circulating in the district in
     which the office is situate, and in the case of any branch register in the
     manner required by the Statutes, be closed during such time as the
     directors may think fit, not exceeding in the whole sixty days in each
     year.

20.  Transfer offices shall be maintained at such place or places whether in
     South Africa or elsewhere, as the directors may from time to time
     prescribe. The directors may appoint local committees (to be designated
     Registrars or by such other title (if any) as the directors may think fit)
     whether in South Africa or elsewhere consisting of two or more individual
     persons or of a corporate body to whom the directors may delegate all or
     any of their powers, authorities and discretions with regard to the
     registration of transfers, the keeping of registers and other records
     required by the Act to be kept at the office or the Transfer office and the
     issuing of certificates of title to shares, debentures or other securities
     of the Company and may appoint a person to be a secretary to such local
     committee or authorise such local committee to appoint a person to be its
     secretary.

21.  Subject to the provisions of the law for the time being in force relating
     to stamp duty or duty upon the estates of deceased persons or to any other
     statutory restrictions on transfer


                                      -6-


     and to the provisions of these articles any member may transfer all or any
     of his shares but every transfer must be in writing in the usual common
     form or in such other form as the directors may approve and must be left at
     the transfer office where the register of transfers relating to the share
     comprised therein is for the time being kept or at such other place as the
     directors may prescribe accompanied (unless the directors either generally
     or in any particular case otherwise resolve) by the certificate of the
     shares to be transferred and such other evidence (if any) as the directors
     or other person in charge of such register may require to prove the title
     or capacity of the intending transferor or transferee or the rights of the
     intending transferor to transfer the shares. In this article references to
     transfer in writing shall include the use of electronic communication,
     subject to any terms and conditions decided on by the directors.

22.  The instrument of transfer of a share shall be signed by the transferor and
     the transferee, unless the signature of the transferee is not required:

     (i)  by any law from time to time in force in South Africa; or

     (ii) where the directors decide at their discretion to dispense therewith
          in such case or cases as they may deem fit.


     The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the share
     transferred until the name of the transferee is entered in the register in
     respect thereof. All instruments of transfer, when registered, shall either
     be retained by the Company or disposed of in such manner as the directors
     shall from time to time decide; but any instrument of transfer which the
     directors may decline to register shall (unless the directors shall resolve
     otherwise) be returned on demand to the person who deposited it.

23.  The directors may decline to register any transfer unless:

     (i)  the instrument of transfer, duly stamped, is lodged with the Company,
          accompanied (unless the directors either generally or in any
          particular case otherwise resolve) by the certificate of the shares to
          which it relates, and such other evidence as the Company may
          reasonably require to show the right or capacity of the transferor to
          make the transfer and of the transferee to accept it; and

     (ii) the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of share.

24.  If the directors refuse to register a transfer they shall within thirty
     days after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to
     the transferee notice of the refusal.

25.  (a)  All powers of attorney or other authorities granted by members for the
          purpose of transferring or accepting the transfer of shares, which may
          be lodged, produced or exhibited with or to the Company at the
          transfer office where the register of transfers relating to such
          shares is kept, shall, as between the Company and the grantor of such
          powers or other authorities, be taken and deemed to continue and
          remain in full force and effect, and the Company may allow the same to
          be acted upon until such time as express notice in writing of the
          revocation of the same


                                      -7-


          shall have been given and lodged at the place aforesaid. Even after
          the giving and lodging of such notice, the Company shall be entitled
          to give effect to any instrument signed under the authority and
          certified by any officer of the Company as being in order before the
          giving and lodging of such notice. The Company shall not be bound to
          allow the exercise of any act or matter by an agent for a member or
          intending transferee of shares unless a certified copy of such agent's
          authority be produced and filed with the Company. In this article
          reference to notice in writing shall include the use of electronic
          communication, subject to any terms and conditions decided on by the
          directors.

     (b)  Nothing contained in these articles shall preclude the Company from
          recognising a renunciation of the allotment of any share by the
          allottee in favour of some other person.


                             TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

26.  Subject always to the law for the time being in force relating to stamp
     duty or duty upon the estates of deceased persons, the executors or
     administrators of a deceased member (not being one of several joint
     holders) shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any
     title to a share registered in the name of such member, and in the case of
     the death of any one or more of the joint holders of any share, the
     survivors or survivor, or the executor or administrator of the deceased
     survivor, shall be the only person or persons recognised by the Company as
     having any title to or interest in such share, but nothing herein shall
     release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect
     of any share jointly held by him.

27.  Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the legal
     incapacity of a member, or by any lawful means otherwise than by transfer
     in accordance with these articles, upon producing such evidence as may
     sustain the character in respect of which he proposes to act under this
     article or of his title, as the directors may think sufficient, may, with
     the consent of the directors (which they shall not be under obligation to
     give) either be registered himself as a member in respect of such shares or
     elect to have some person nominated by him registered as the transferee
     thereof. If the person becoming so entitled shall elect to be registered
     himself he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed
     by him stating that he so elects. If he shall elect to have his nominee
     registered he shall testify his election by executing to his nominee a
     transfer in writing of such share. All the limitations, restrictions and
     provisions of these articles relating to the right to transfer and the
     registration of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or transfer
     under this article as if the legal incapacity or other means had not
     occurred and the notice or transfer were a transfer executed by the member.
     In this article reference to notice in writing shall include electronic
     communication, subject to any terms and conditions decided on by the
     directors.

28.  Save as otherwise provided by or in accordance with these articles, a
     person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the legal incapacity
     of a member or by any lawful means otherwise than by transfer in accordance
     with these articles shall (upon supplying to the Company such evidence as
     the directors may reasonably require to show his title to


                                      -8-


     the share) be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which
     he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the share except
     that he shall not be entitled in respect thereof to exercise any right
     conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company until he
     shall have been registered as a member in respect of the share.


                            UNCERTIFICATED SECURITIES

29.  The provisions of the preceding articles insofar as they relate to share
     certificates, the register of members or the transfer or transmission of
     any share, shall not apply to the extent that they are inconsistent in any
     way with:

29.1      holding and dealing in securities in uncertificated form;

29.2      the settlement of any uncertificated securities transaction through
          the "STRATE" system on the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa; or

29.3      any provision of Section 91A of the Act.


                               INCREASE OF CAPITAL

30.  The Company may from time to time by special resolution increase its share
     capital by such sum divided into shares of such amount, or may constitute
     shares of no par value or may increase the number of its shares of no par
     value to such number, as the special resolution shall prescribe.

31.  The Company may increase its capital constituted by shares of no par value
     by transferring reserves or profits to the stated capital, with or without
     a distribution of shares.

32.  New shares shall be subject to the same provisions as to transfer,
     transmission and otherwise as the shares in the original capital.

33.  Except so far as otherwise provided by the resolution creating it, by the
     conditions of issue or by these articles, any capital raised by the
     creation of new shares shall be considered part of the present capital, and
     as consisting of ordinary shares and shall be subject to the provisions
     herein contained with reference to transfer and transmission, and otherwise
     as if it had been part of the present capital.


             CONSOLIDATION, SUBDIVISION, ACQUISITION OF OWN SHARES,
                        CONVERSION OF PREFERENCE SHARES,
                            ALTERATION OF MEMORANDUM

34.  The Company may from time to time by special resolution:

     (i)    consolidate and divide all or any part of its share capital into
            shares of larger amount than its existing shares, or consolidate and
            reduce the number of the issued shares of no par value;

                                      -9-


     (ii)   increase the number of its issued no par value shares without an
            increase of its stated capital;

     (iii)  cancel any shares which, at the time of passing of the resolution in
            respect thereof, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any
            person, and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount
            of the shares so cancelled;

     (iv)   subdivide its shares or any of them into shares of smaller amount
            than is fixed by or pursuant to its Memorandum of Association and so
            that the resolution whereby any share is subdivided, may determine
            that, as between the holders of the shares resulting from such
            subdivision one or more of the shares may have such preferred or
            other rights over, or may have such qualified or deferred rights, or
            be subject to any such restrictions as compared with, the other or
            others as the Company has power to attach to unissued or to new
            shares;

     (v)    vary, modify or amend any rights attached to any shares whether
            issued or not (including the conversion of any shares into preferred
            shares) subject to any consent or sanction required from the holders
            of that and/or any other class of shares under Article 37;

     (vi)   subject to the listings requirements of any Stock Exchange on which
            the shares or debentures of the Company are listed or quoted,
            approve the acquisition of shares or debentures issued by the
            Company or, if the Company is a subsidiary, issued by its holding
            company, which approval may be a general approval subject to the
            provisions of the Statutes or a specific approval for a particular
            transaction;

     (vii)  convert all its shares of one class having a par value into stated
            capital constituted by shares of no par value or such of its stated
            capital as is constituted by shares of no par value into share
            capital consisting of shares having a par value;

     (viii) convert any of its shares, whether issued or not, into shares of
            another class;

     (ix)   alter the provisions of its Memorandum of Association with respect
            to the objects and powers of the Company.

35.  Anything done in pursuance of the last article shall be done in a manner
     provided and subject to any conditions imposed by the Act, so far as they
     shall be applicable, and so far as they shall not be applicable, in
     accordance with the terms of the special resolution authorising the same
     and, so far as such special resolution shall not be applicable, in such
     manner as the directors deem most expedient. Whenever as the result of any
     consolidation a fraction of a share is included in the holding of any
     member such fraction may be sold by some person appointed by the directors
     for that purpose and the proceeds thereof paid to such member. When a
     fraction is sold as aforesaid the person so appointed to sell it shall be
     deemed to be authorised to make such sale the validity of which shall not
     be questioned.

36.  All unclaimed amounts due as a result of any acquisition of shares or
     debentures issued by the Company or any consolidation or subdivision of
     capital or from any other cause


                                      -10-


     (but excluding any unclaimed dividends) shall be held in trust by the
     Company until lawfully claimed by the member; provided that no such amount
     shall be lawfully claimable by the member if such claim has prescribed.


                             MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS

37.  Subject to the provisions of Section 102 of the Act and to any provisions
     of these articles, if at any time the Company's share capital, by reason of
     the issue of preference shares or otherwise, is divided into different
     classes of shares, all or any of the rights and privileges attached to any
     class may be modified or varied by agreement between the Company and any
     person purporting to contract on behalf of that class, provided such
     agreement is either:

     (i)  authorised or ratified in writing by the holders of at least
          three-fourths of the nominal amount of the issued shares of that
          class; or

     (ii) confirmed by resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the
          holders of the shares of that class, and all the provisions of Section
          199 of the Act and the provisions hereinafter contained as to general
          meetings shall mutatis mutandis apply to every such meeting, except
          that the quorum therefor (subject to the provisions contained in
          Article 44 in regard to the quorum at adjourned meetings) shall be two
          members at least holding or representing by proxy not less than
          one-third of the nominal amount of the issued shares of that class,
          unless that class has only one member, in which case it shall be such
          member.


     The creation or issue of additional preference shares ranking as to capital
     and dividend after the said preference shares and/or ordinary shares shall
     not be deemed to be a modification or variation of the rights of the
     holders of any preference shares in the Company. In this article reference
     to authorised or ratified in writing shall include the use of electronic
     communication, subject to any terms and conditions decided on by the
     directors.

38.  The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class shall not,
     unless otherwise expressly provided by the conditions of issue of such
     shares, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares
     ranking pari passu therewith.


                                GENERAL MEETINGS

39.  The Company shall hold a general meeting as its Annual General Meeting as
     provided in Section 179 of the Act at such time and place as the directors
     may determine.

40.  The directors may, whenever they think fit, convene a General Meeting and a
     General Meeting shall also be convened on requisition as provided in
     Section 181 of the Act.

41.  Save for any General Meeting convened by requisitionists as provided by
     Section 181 of the Act, all general meetings, and all adjourned general
     meetings and all separate meetings of the holders of any class of shares
     shall be held at such time and place as the directors shall appoint.


                                      -11-


                           NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS

42.  An Annual General Meeting and a General Meeting called for the passing of a
     special resolution shall be called by not less than twenty-one clear days'
     notice in writing and any other General Meeting shall be called by not less
     than fourteen clear days' notice in writing, so that the notice period
     shall not include the day on which the notice is served, or deemed to be
     served, or the day on which the meeting is to be held. A meeting may be
     called by shorter notice and shall be deemed to have been duly called if it
     is so agreed by a majority in number of the members having a right to
     attend and vote at the meeting, being a majority holding not less than 95%
     (ninety-five per centum) of the total voting rights of all members. Notice
     of a meeting shall specify the place, day and time of the meeting and in
     the case of special business the general nature of such business. In this
     article reference to notice in writing shall include the use of electronic
     communication and publication on a website in accordance with any
     applicable provisions in the Statutes or any other applicable rules or
     requirements.

43.  The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting or in cases where
     instruments of proxy are sent out with the notice, the accidental omission
     to send such instrument of proxy to, or the non-receipt or delay in receipt
     of notice of a meeting or such instrument of proxy by any person entitled
     to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting.


                         PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

44.  All business shall be deemed special that is transacted at a General
     Meeting other than an Annual General Meeting, and also all business that is
     transacted at an Annual General Meeting, with the exception of sanctioning
     or declaring a dividend, the consideration of the annual financial
     statements, the election of directors, and the appointment of the auditors
     of the Company.

45.  Subject to the provisions of Section 199 of the Act in regard to the quorum
     for passing special resolutions, a quorum for a General Meeting shall be
     three members present in person and entitled to vote or, if a member is a
     body corporate, represented.

     No business shall be transacted by any General Meeting unless the requisite
     quorum be present when the meeting proceeds to business. A corporation,
     being a member of this Company, and present by a representative duly
     appointed in accordance with Section 188 of the Act, shall be deemed to be
     a member personally present for the purposes of these articles.

46.  If within five minutes from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is
     not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of members,
     shall be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same
     day in the next week (or if that be a public holiday to the next succeeding
     day other than a public holiday, a Saturday or a Sunday) at the same time
     and place or to such other day and at such other time or place as the
     chairman of the meeting shall appoint, which shall be a day not later than
     twenty-one days after the date of the meeting. If at such adjourned meeting
     a quorum as defined is


                                      -12-


     not present within five minutes from the time appointed for holding the
     meeting, those members who are present in person and are entitled to vote
     shall be a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was
     called.

47.  The Chairman (if any) of the directors or, in his absence, the Deputy
     Chairman (if any) shall preside as chairman at every General Meeting of the
     Company. If there be no such Chairman or Deputy Chairman, or if at any
     meeting neither the Chairman nor the Deputy Chairman is present within five
     minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, or if neither of
     them be willing to act as chairman, the directors present shall choose one
     of their number to act, or if one director only be present he shall preside
     as chairman if willing to act. If no director be present, or if all the
     directors present decline to take the chair, the members present shall
     elect one of their number to be chairman.

48.  The Chairman may, with the consent of any meeting at which a quorum is
     present (and shall if so directed by the meeting) adjourn the meeting from
     time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted
     at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been
     transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. Save as
     provided by Section 192 of the Act, it shall not be necessary to give any
     notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at any
     adjourned meeting.

49.  At a General Meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be
     decided by a show of hands unless a poll is (before or on the declaration
     of the result of the show of hands) demanded by the Chairman of the meeting
     or as provided in Section 198(1) (b) of the Act. Unless a poll be so
     demanded and the demand be not withdrawn a declaration by the Chairman of
     the meeting that a resolution has on a show of hands been carried, or
     carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or not carried by a
     particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect in the book
     containing the minutes of the proceedings of the Company shall be
     conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion
     of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

50.  The result of a poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at
     which the poll was demanded.

51.  In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a
     poll, the Chairman of the meeting at which the show of hands takes place or
     at which the poll is demanded, shall be entitled to a second or casting
     vote in addition to the vote or votes to which he may be entitled as a
     member.

52.  No poll shall be demanded on the election of the Chairman of the meeting or
     on any question of adjournment. A poll demanded on any other question shall
     be taken at such time and place and in such manner as the Chairman of the
     meeting directs, and any business, other than upon which a poll has been
     demanded, may be proceeded with pending the taking of the poll.

53.  The Chairman of a meeting may appoint any firm or persons to act as
     scrutineers for the purpose of checking forms of proxy deposited for use
     and for counting the votes at such


                                      -13-


     meeting and he may thereafter act on a certificate given by any such
     scrutineers without requiring production at the meeting of the forms of
     proxy or himself counting the votes.

54.  If any votes shall be counted which ought not to have been counted or might
     have been rejected or if any votes shall not be counted which ought to have
     been counted the error shall not vitiate the resolution unless it be
     pointed out at the meeting and not in that case unless it shall, in the
     opinion of the Chairman of the meeting, be of sufficient magnitude to
     vitiate the resolution. No objection shall be raised to the qualification
     of any voter except at the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote
     objected to is given or tendered, and every vote not disallowed at such
     meeting or adjourned meeting shall be valid for all purposes. Any such
     objection made in due time shall be referred to the Chairman of the
     meeting, whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

55.  Any minutes of resolutions and proceedings at general meetings made in one
     of the minute books of the Company, if signed by any person purporting to
     be the Chairman of the meeting to which it relates, or by any person
     present thereat and appointed by the directors to sign the same in his
     place, or by the Chairman of a subsequent meeting of the directors, shall
     be receivable as evidence of the facts therein stated.


                                VOTES OF MEMBERS

56.  Subject to the provisions of Section 195 of the Act and of these articles
     and to any special terms as to voting upon which any share may be issued or
     may for the time being be held, on a show of hands, every member present in
     person or by proxy and entitled to vote shall have one vote and, upon a
     poll, every member present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote shall
     have one vote for every share held by him.

57.  Any corporation holding shares conferring the right to vote may, by
     resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such person
     as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any General Meeting of the
     Company or at any meeting of holders of any class of shares of the Company,
     as provided by Section 188 of the Act and such representative shall be
     entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he
     represents as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual
     member of the Company. The directors may but shall not be obliged to
     require proof to their satisfaction of the appointment or authority of such
     representative to act.

58.  In the case of joint holders of a share the vote of the senior who tenders
     a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion
     of the votes of the other joint holders and for this purpose seniority
     shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register
     or in the case of persons entitled to a share by transmission the order in
     which their names were given in the notice to the Company of the fact of
     the transmission.


                   PROXIES AND VOTING UNDER POWER OF ATTORNEY

59.  The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the
     person granting such proxy or his attorney duly authorised in writing or,
     if the appointor be a corporation, under the hand of an officer or attorney
     so authorised. The holder of a


                                      -14-


     power of attorney from a member may, if so authorised by the power of
     attorney, vote for and represent such member at any meeting of the Company.
     In this article reference to in writing or authorised in writing shall
     include the use of electronic communication, subject to any terms and
     conditions decided on by the directors.

60.  (a)  A member may appoint more than one proxy to attend on the same
          occasion.

     (a)  A proxy:

     (i)  need not be a member of the Company;

     (ii) shall be entitled to vote on a show of hands and on a poll.

61.  Every instrument of proxy, whether for a specified meeting or otherwise,
     shall comply with Section 189 of the Act and subject thereto be in the form
     or to the effect following or in such other form as the directors may
     approve, and the directors may, if they think fit, send out with the notice
     of any meeting forms of instrument of proxy for use at the meeting:


                                      -15-

          holding of the meeting (including an adjourned meeting) at which the
          person named in the form proposes to vote, and in default the form of
          proxy shall not be treated as valid:


                                      -16-


          Provided that if the member appointing a proxy is registered on a
          branch register kept at any branch or other office outside South
          Africa any instrument appointing a proxy and any power of attorney or

          authority (if any) under which the form is signed or a notarially
          certified copy of such power or authority shall be received at that
          specified address not less than forty eight hours (or such lesser
          period as the directors may determine in relation to any particular
          meeting) before the time appointed for the holding of the meeting
          (including an adjourned meeting) at which the person named in the form
          proposes to vote, and in default the form of proxy shall not be

          hours, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays shall not be taken into
          account.

     (c)  No form appointing a proxy shall be valid after the expiration of six
          months from the date when it was signed, which shall include the
          signature in any form which the directors may require for the purpose

          communication, except at an adjourned meeting or on a poll demanded at
          the meeting or adjourned meeting in cases where the meeting was

     signed, relating to members registered on such branch register to be
     received at the office of the Company designated in the notice convening
     the meeting before the time appointed for the meeting, provided that:

     (i)  the members appointing proxies shall lodge powers of attorney or the
          duly completed forms of proxy in accordance with the requirements of
          the last preceding article; and

     (ii) the transfer secretary of the Company in that place shall communicate
          to the Company in South Africa by such means as the directors may from
          time to time direct, a summary of all the votes for and against each
          resolution represented by valid proxies duly accepted by them, and so
          that such communication shall be received by the Company before the
          time appointed for the meeting to commence.

64.  A vote given in accordance with the terms of a power of attorney or form of
     proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous legal incapacity of the
     principal or revocation of


                                      -17-


     the power of attorney or form of proxy or the transfer of the share in
     respect of which the vote is given, unless an intimation in writing of such
     legal incapacity or transfer shall have been received by the Company (at
     the office at which such power or form is registered) not less than
     forty-eight hours before commencement of the meeting or the taking of the
     poll at which the power or form is used. In this article reference to
     intimation in writing shall include the use of electronic communication,
     subject to any terms and conditions decided on by the directors.


                                    DIRECTORS

65.  (a)  Until otherwise from time to time determined by the Company in general
          meeting, the number of directors shall be not less than four. The
          first directors shall be those persons appointed in writing by the
          majority of the subscribers to the memorandum of the Company. Until
          directors are appointed, section 208(2) of the Act shall apply.

     (b)  The directors shall be entitled to such remuneration as a director as
          the Company by ordinary resolution in general meeting may from time to
          time determine, except that any director holding office for less than
          a year shall only be entitled to such remuneration in proportion to
          the period during which he has held office during the year.

66.  Any director who serves on any executive or other committee or who devotes
     special attention to the business of the Company or who goes or resides
     outside South Africa for any purposes of the Company, or who otherwise
     performs services which, in the opinion of the directors, are outside the
     scope of the ordinary duties of a director, may be paid such extra
     remuneration, in addition to the remuneration to which he may be entitled
     as a director, as the directors may determine. The directors shall also be
     paid all their travelling and other expenses properly and necessarily
     expended by them in and about the business of the Company and in attending
     meetings of the directors or of committees of the directors or of the
     Company.

67.  Without prejudice to the provisions for retirement by rotation or otherwise
     hereinafter contained, the office of a director shall be vacated in any of
     the events following, namely:

     (i)    if he becomes insolvent or assigns his estate for the benefit of his
            creditors, suspends payments generally, or compounds with his
            creditors, or files a petition for the surrender of his estate;

     (ii)   if he is found or becomes of unsound mind;

     (iii)  if he is requested in writing by all his co-directors to resign;

     (iv)   if he be removed by a resolution of the Company pursuant to Section
            220 of the Act;

     (v)    if he shall pursuant to the provisions of the Statutes or by reason
            of any order made there under be prohibited from acting as a
            director;

                                      -18-


     (vi)   if he resigns his office by notice in writing to the Company;

     (vii)  if he is absent from meetings of the directors for six consecutive
            months without leave of the directors otherwise than on the business
            of the Company and is not represented at any such meetings during
            such six consecutive months by an alternate director, and the
            directors resolve that his office be, by reason of such absence,
            vacated; provided that the directors shall have power to grant to
            any director not resident in South Africa leave of absence for any
            or an indefinite period.

     In this article reference to requested or notice in writing shall include
     the use of electronic communication, subject to any terms and conditions
     decided on by the directors.

68.  A director may hold any other office under or position with the Company
     (except that of auditor) in conjunction with his office of director for
     such period and on such remuneration terms (in addition to the remuneration
     to which he may be entitled as a director) and otherwise as a disinterested
     quorum of the directors may determine.

69.  A director of the Company may be or become a director or other officer of,
     or otherwise interested in, any company promoted by the Company or in which
     the Company may be interested as shareholder or otherwise and (except
     insofar as otherwise decided by the directors), he shall not be accountable
     for any remuneration or other benefits received by him as a director or
     officer of or from his interest in such other company.

70.  Any director may act by himself or through his firm in a professional
     capacity for the Company (otherwise than as auditor) and he or his firm
     shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he were
     not a director.

71.  A director who is in any way whether directly or indirectly interested in a
     contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement with the
     Company, shall declare the nature of his interest in accordance with
     Sections 234, 235, 237 and 238 of the Act.

72.  Subject to the next succeeding article no director or intending director
     shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company
     either with regard to his tenure of any other office under or position with
     the Company or in any company promoted by the Company or in which the
     Company is interested or in respect of professional services rendered or to
     be rendered by such director or as vendor, purchaser or in any other manner
     whatever, nor shall any such contract or arrangement entered into by or on
     behalf of the Company in which any director is in any way interested be
     liable to be avoided, nor shall any director so contracting or being so
     interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by
     any such appointment, contract or arrangement by reason of such director
     holding the office or of the fiduciary relationship thereby established.

73.  (a)    A director shall not vote nor be counted in the quorum and if he
            shall do so his vote shall not be counted on any resolution for his
            own appointment to any other office under or position with the
            Company or in respect of any contract or arrangement in which he is
            interested, but this prohibition shall not apply to:

                                      -19-


     (i)    any arrangement for giving to any director any security or indemnity
            in respect of money lent by him to or obligations undertaken by him
            for the benefit of the Company, or

     (ii)   any arrangement for the giving by the Company of any security to a
            third party in respect of a debt or obligation of the Company which
            the director has himself guaranteed or secured; or

     (iii)  any contract by a director to subscribe for or underwrite shares or
            debentures of the Company; or

     (iv)   any contract or arrangement with a company in which he is interested
            by reason only of being a director, officer, creditor or member of
            such company;

     provided that these prohibitions may at any time be suspended or relaxed to
     any extent either generally, or in respect of any particular contract or
     arrangement, by the Company in general meeting.

     (b)    Where proposals are under consideration concerning the appointment
            (including fixing or varying the terms of appointment) of two or
            more directors to offices or employments with the Company or any
            company in which the Company is interested, such proposals may be
            divided and considered in relation to each director separately and
            in such cases each of the directors concerned shall be entitled to
            vote (and be counted in the quorum) in respect of each resolution
            except that concerning his own appointment.

     (c)    If any question shall arise at any meeting as to the entitlement of
            any directors to vote and such question is not resolved by his
            voluntarily agreeing to abstain from voting, such question shall be
            referred to the chairman of the meeting and his ruling in relation
            to any other director shall be final and conclusive except in a case
            where the nature or extent of the interests of the director
            concerned have not been fairly disclosed.

74.  The directors may exercise the voting powers conferred by the shares in any
     other company held or owned by the Company in such manner in all respects
     as they think fit, including the exercise thereof in favour of any
     resolution appointing themselves or any of them to be directors or officers
     of such other company or voting or providing for the payment of
     remuneration to the directors or officers of such other company.


                               ALTERNATE DIRECTORS

75.  Each director may appoint either another director or any person approved
     for that purpose by a resolution of the directors to act as alternate
     director in his place and during his absence and may at his discretion
     remove such alternate director. A person so appointed shall, except as
     regards power to appoint an alternate, and remuneration, be subject in all
     respects to the terms and conditions existing with reference to the other
     directors of the Company, and each alternate director, whilst so acting,
     shall be entitled to receive notices of all meetings of the directors or of
     any committee of the directors of which his



                                      -20-


     appointor is a member, and to attend and vote at any such meeting at which
     his appointor is a member, and to attend and vote at any such meeting at
     which his appointor is not personally present and he shall generally be
     entitled to exercise and discharge all the functions, powers and duties of
     his appointor in such appointor's absence as if he were a director. Any
     director acting as alternate shall (in addition to his own vote) have a
     vote for each director for whom he acts as alternate. An alternate director
     shall ipso facto cease to be an alternate director if his appointor ceases
     for any reason to be a director, provided that if any director retires by
     rotation or otherwise but is re-elected at the same meeting, any
     appointment made by him pursuant to this article which was in force
     immediately before his retirement shall remain in force as though he had
     not retired. Any appointment or removal of an alternate director shall be
     effected by instrument in writing delivered at the office and signed by the
     appointor. The remuneration of an alternate director shall be payable only
     out of the remuneration payable to the director appointing him and he shall
     have no claim against the Company for his remuneration. In this article
     reference to in writing shall include the use of electronic communication,
     subject to any terms and conditions decided on by the directors.


                       RETIREMENT OF DIRECTORS IN ROTATION

76.  Subject to Article 89 hereof at the first Annual General Meeting all of the
     directors for the time being and at every subsequent Annual General Meeting
     one-third of the directors for the time being or if their number is not a
     multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one-third
     shall retire from office. The directors so to retire at every subsequent
     Annual General Meeting shall be those who have been longest in office since
     their last election, but as between persons who become or were last elected
     directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise
     agree among themselves) be determined by lot; provided that notwithstanding
     anything herein contained, if at the date of any Annual General Meeting any
     director shall have held office for a period of three years since his last
     election or appointment, he shall retire at such meeting either as one of
     the directors to retire in pursuance of the aforegoing or additionally
     thereto. The length of time a director has been in office shall be computed
     from his last election, appointment or date upon which he was deemed
     re-elected. A director retiring at a meeting shall retain office until the
     close or adjournment of the meeting.

77.  Retiring directors shall be eligible for re-election but no person, other
     than a director retiring at the meeting, shall, unless recommended by the
     directors, be eligible for election to the office of a director at any
     General Meeting unless not more than thirteen but at least six clear days
     before the day appointed for the meeting, there shall have been left at the
     office or any branch or other office outside South Africa, a notice in
     writing by some member duly qualified to be present and vote at the meeting
     for which such notice is given of his intention to propose such person for
     election and also notice in writing signed by the person to be proposed of
     his willingness to be elected (so that the period of days shall not include
     the day on which the notices are left at the office or the day appointed
     for the meeting). In this article reference to notice in writing shall
     include the use of electronic communication, subject to any terms and
     conditions decided on by the directors.

                                      -21-


78.  Subject to the last preceding article the Company at the meeting at which a
     director retires in manner aforesaid, may fill the vacated office by
     electing a person thereto and in default the retiring director, if willing
     to continue to act, shall be deemed to have been re-elected, unless at such
     meeting it is expressly resolved not to fill such vacated office, or unless
     a resolution for the re-election of such director shall have been put to
     the meeting and lost.

79.  The Company may in general meeting (but subject to the provisions of
     Article 77) elect any person to be a director either to fill a casual
     vacancy or as an additional director, but so that the total number of
     directors shall not exceed at any time any maximum number fixed in
     accordance with these articles. The Company in general meeting may also
     from time to time increase or reduce the number of directors and may also
     determine in what rotation such increased or reduced number is to go out of
     office.

80.  The validity of the appointment of any director shall not be affected by a
     failure to comply with Section 211(3) of the Act.


                               POWERS OF DIRECTORS

81.  The directors on behalf of the Company may pay a gratuity or pension or
     allowance on retirement or other benefit to any director or ex-director or
     other officer or employee of the Company, its holding company (if any) or
     any subsidiary of the Company whether or not he has held any other salaried
     office under or position with the Company or to his widow or dependants and
     make contributions to any fund and pay premiums for the purchase or
     provision of any such gratuity, pension or allowance or life assurance or
     other benefits.

82.  The directors may take all steps that may be necessary or expedient in
     order to enable the shares, debentures or other securities of the Company
     to be introduced into and dealt with in any country or state and to procure
     the same to be recognised by and specially quoted upon any Stock Exchange
     or Bourse in any country or state and may accept responsibility for and pay
     and discharge all taxes, duties, fees, expenses or other sums which may be
     payable in relation to any of the matters aforesaid and may subscribe to
     and comply with the laws and regulations of any such country or state and
     the rules or regulations of any such Stock Exchange or Bourse.

83.  Save as otherwise expressly provided by these articles, all cheques,
     promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable or
     transferable instruments and all documents to be executed by the Company
     shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or executed as the case may be
     in such manner as the directors shall from time to time by resolution
     determine.


                     FILLING OF CASUAL VACANCY OR ADDING TO
                              EXISTING BOARD POWERS

84.  Without prejudice to the powers of the Company in general meeting in
     pursuance of any of the provisions of these articles to appoint any person
     to be a director, the directors shall have power at any time and from time
     to time to appoint any person to be a director,


                                      -22-


     either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing board,
     but so that the total number of directors shall not at any time exceed any
     maximum number fixed by or in accordance with these articles. Any director
     so appointed shall hold office only until the next following Annual General
     Meeting and shall then be eligible for re-election but shall not be taken
     into account in determining the directors who are to retire by rotation at
     such meeting.


                                BORROWING POWERS

85.  (a)  The Company may create and issue secured or unsecured debentures and
          subject to the listings requirements of any Stock Exchange on which
          the shares of any holding company of the Company are listed or quoted
          and to any regulations from time to time made by the Company in
          general meeting, the directors may raise or borrow from time to time
          for the purposes of the Company or secure the payment of such sums as
          they think fit and may secure the repayment or payment of any such
          sums by bond, mortgage or charge upon all or any of the property or
          assets of the Company or by the issue of debentures or otherwise as
          they may think fit, and may make such regulations regarding the
          transfer of debentures, the issuing of certificates therefor (subject
          always to Article 12 hereof) and all such other matters incidental to
          debentures as they may think fit: Provided that no special privileges
          as to allotment of shares in the Company, attending and voting at
          general meetings, appointment of directors or otherwise, shall be
          given to the holders of debentures of the Company save with the
          sanction of the Company in general meeting.

     (b)  The Company may issue guarantees in order to secure obligations and
          loans, including but not limited to loans to subsidiaries.


                            LOCAL BOARDS, AGENTS AND
                             COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

86.  The directors may establish any local boards or agencies in South Africa or
     elsewhere for managing any of the affairs of the Company and may appoint
     any persons to be members of such local boards, or any managers or agents
     and may fix their remuneration, and may delegate to any local board,
     manager or agent any of the powers, authorities and discretions vested in
     the directors with power to sub-delegate, and may authorise the members of
     any local board or any of them to fill any vacancies therein and to act
     notwithstanding vacancies, and any such appointment or delegation may be
     made upon such terms and subject to such conditions as the directors may
     think fit, and the directors may remove any person so appointed and may
     annul or vary any such delegation, but no person dealing in good faith and
     without notice of any such annulment or variation shall be affected
     thereby.

87.  The directors may by power of attorney appoint any company, firm or person
     or any fluctuating body of persons, whether nominated directly or
     indirectly by the directors, to be the attorney or agent of the Company for
     such purposes and with such powers, authorities and discretions (not
     exceeding those vested in or exercisable by the directors


                                      -23-


     under these articles) and for such period and subject to such conditions as
     they may think fit, and any such power of attorney may contain such
     provisions for the protection and convenience of persons dealing with any
     such attorney as the directors may think fit, and may also authorise any
     such attorney to sub-delegate all or any of the powers, authorities and
     discretions vested in him or them.

88.  The directors may delegate any of their powers to an executive or other
     committee whether consisting of a member or members of their body or not as
     they think fit. Any committee so formed shall, in the exercise of the
     powers so delegated, conform to any regulations that may from time to time
     be imposed on it by the directors and any such regulations may authorise
     the appointment of sub-committees.


                        MANAGING AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

89.  The directors may from time to time appoint one or more of their body to be
     Managing Director, Assistant Managing Director, Executive Director (with or
     without specific designation) or General Manager of the Company or to other
     executive office with the Company as the directors shall think fit, and may
     from time to time remove or dismiss him or them from office and appoint
     another or others in his or their place or places.

90.  Subject to any provisions either in these articles or in the contract under
     which he is appointed any director appointed to any position or executive
     office pursuant to the last preceding article shall not, while he continues
     to hold that position or office under a contract for a term of years (which
     provides for him to be exempted from retirement by rotation during such
     term of years), be subject to retirement by rotation during the currency of
     such contract and he shall not, in such case, be taken into account in
     determining the rotation of retirement of directors but he shall be subject
     to the same removal terms as the other directors of the Company and, if he
     ceases to hold office as director, his appointment to such position or
     executive office shall ipso facto and immediately be terminated but without
     prejudice to any claims or damages which may accrue under any such contract
     in respect of such termination: Provided that the directors shall not
     appoint any director to any position or executive office under a contract
     as aforesaid which provides for him to be so exempted, if at the time of
     such appointment under such contract the effect of such exemption would be
     to cause one-half or more of the directors to be exempt from retirement by
     rotation.

91.  The directors may from time to time entrust to and confer upon a director
     appointed to any position or executive office under Article 89 such of the
     powers exercisable under these articles by the directors as they think fit,
     and may confer such powers for such time, and to be exercised for such
     objects and purposes and upon such terms and conditions and with such
     restrictions, as they think expedient, and they may confer such powers
     either collaterally with or to the exclusion of and in substitution for all
     or any of the powers of the directors in that behalf, and may from time to
     time revoke, withdraw, alter or vary all or any of such powers.


                                      -24-


                     PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES

92.  The directors may meet for the dispatch of business, adjourn, and otherwise
     regulate their meetings and the convening of their meetings as they think
     fit, and may determine the quorum necessary for the transaction of
     business. Until otherwise determined by the directors, three directors
     shall form a quorum. A director may at any time and the secretary, upon the
     request of a director, shall at any time convene a meeting of the
     directors. A director who is not in South Africa, shall not be entitled to
     notice of any meeting, but it shall be given to his alternate, if any,
     unless such alternate is also absent from South Africa.

93.  The continuing directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body,
     but if and so long as their number be reduced below the minimum number
     fixed by or in accordance with these articles, they may act only for the
     purpose of filling up vacancies in their body or of summoning general
     meetings of the Company but not for any other purpose, and may act for
     either of the purposes aforesaid whether or not their number be reduced
     below the minimum number fixed by or in accordance with these articles as a
     quorum.

94.  The directors may elect a Chairman and a Deputy Chairman (to act in the
     absence of the Chairman) of their meetings and determine the period for
     which they are to hold office, which period shall not exceed one year, but
     if no such Chairman or Deputy Chairman is elected or if at any meeting the
     Chairman or Deputy Chairman be not present within five minutes after the
     time appointed for holding the same, the directors present shall choose one
     of their number present to be Chairman at such meeting.

95.  Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes,
     and in case of an equality of votes the Chairman shall have a second or
     casting vote, provided that should the quorum be two and should only two
     directors be present at the meeting, the Chairman shall not have a casting
     vote.

96.  A meeting of the directors at which a quorum is present shall be competent
     to exercise all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions by or
     under these articles for the time being vested in or exercisable by the
     directors generally.

97.  A resolution in writing signed by the directors who may be present in South
     Africa at the time when such resolution is signed by the first of such
     directors, being not less than are sufficient to form a quorum, shall be as
     valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors
     duly called and constituted; provided that where a director is not so
     present, but has an alternate who is so present, then such resolution must
     also be signed by such alternate. All such resolutions shall be described
     as "directors' resolutions" and shall be forwarded or otherwise delivered
     to the secretary without delay, and shall be recorded by him in the
     Company's minute book and noted at the meeting of the directors next
     following the receipt thereof by him. A directors' resolution (unless
     signed by all the directors or their alternates) shall be inoperative if it
     shall purport to authorise or to do any act which a meeting of the
     directors has decided shall not be authorised or done, until confirmed by a
     meeting of the directors. In this article reference to in writing shall
     include the use of electronic communication, subject to any terms and



                                      -25-


     conditions decided on by the directors and reference to signed shall
     include signature in any form which the directors may require for the
     purpose of establishing the authenticity or integrity of an electronic
     communication.

98.  The meetings and proceedings of any committee of directors consisting of
     two or more members, shall be governed by the provisions herein contained
     for regulating the meetings and proceedings of directors so far as the same
     are applicable thereto and are not superseded by any regulations made or
     imposed by the directors.

99.  All acts done by the directors or by a committee of directors or by any
     person acting as a director or a member of a committee, shall,
     notwithstanding that it shall afterwards be discovered that there was some
     defect in the appointment of the directors or persons acting aforesaid, or
     that they or any of them were disqualified from or had vacated office,
     shall be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and was
     qualified and had continued to be a director or member of such committee.


                                    SECRETARY

100. Subject to the provisions of Section 268A, the secretary (which may be a
     body corporate or a partnership complying with the requirements of the Act)
     shall be appointed by the directors for such term, at such remuneration and
     upon such conditions as they may think fit and any secretary so appointed
     may be removed by the directors. A provision of the Statutes or these
     articles requiring or authorising a thing to be done by or to a director
     and the secretary shall not be satisfied by its being done by or to the
     same person acting both as director and as, or in place of, the secretary.


                           AUTHENTICATION OF DOCUMENTS

101. Any director or the secretary or any person appointed by the directors for
     the purpose shall have power to authenticate any documents affecting the
     constitution of the Company and any resolutions passed by the Company or
     the directors, and any books, records, documents and accounts relating to
     the business of the Company, and to certify copies thereof or extracts
     therefrom as true copies or extracts; and where any books, records,
     documents or accounts are elsewhere than at the office the local manager or
     other officer of the Company having the custody thereof shall be deemed to
     be the person appointed by the directors aforesaid.

102. A document purporting to be a copy of a resolution of the directors or an
     extract from the minutes of a meeting of the directors which is certified
     as such in accordance with the provisions of the last preceding article
     shall be conclusive evidence in favour of all persons dealing with the
     Company upon the faith thereof that such resolution has been duly passed
     or, as the case may be, that such extract is a true and accurate record of
     a duly constituted meeting of the directors.


                                    DIVIDENDS

103. The Company in general meeting or the directors may from time to time
     declare a dividend to be paid to the members according to their respective
     rights and interest in


                                      -26-


     proportion to the number of shares held by them in each class in respect
     whereof the dividend is payable; but if any share be issued on terms
     providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date or for
     all dividends declared after a particular date, such share shall rank for
     dividend accordingly.

104. A dividend may be declared out of the profits or reserves of the Company,
     whether realised or unrealised, whether of a revenue or a capital nature
     and whether designated distributions or not, and no dividend shall carry
     interest as against the Company, except as otherwise provided under the
     conditions of issue of the shares in respect of which such dividend is
     payable. Dividends may be declared either free of or subject to the
     deduction of income tax and any other tax or duty in respect of which the
     Company may be chargeable.

105. The Company in general meeting or the directors may from time to time pay
     to the members such interim dividends as appear to the directors to be
     justified by the position of the Company. The directors may also pay the
     fixed dividend payable on any preference share of the Company half-yearly
     or otherwise on fixed dates whenever such position in the opinion of the
     directors justifies that course.

106. Dividends shall be declared payable to members registered as such on a date
     at least fourteen days after the date of the declaration of the dividend.

107. No larger dividend shall be declared by the Company in general meeting than
     is recommended by the directors; but the Company in general meeting may
     declare a smaller dividend.

108. All unclaimed dividends may be invested or otherwise made use of by the
     directors for the benefit of the Company until claimed, provided that
     dividends unclaimed for a period of three years may be forfeited by the
     directors for the benefit of the Company.

109. Any dividend, interest or other sum payable in cash to the holder of a
     share may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post addressed to
     the holder at his registered address or, in the case of joint holders,
     addressed to the holder whose name stands first on the register in respect
     of the share at his registered address, or addressed to such person and at
     such address as the holder or joint holders may in writing direct, or by
     electronic transfer into the bank account nominated by the holder or, in
     the case of joint holders, into the bank account nominated by the holder
     whose name stands first in the register in respect of the share. Every such
     cheque or warrant shall, unless the holder or joint holders otherwise
     direct, be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is addressed
     and shall be sent at the risk of the holder or joint holders. Every such
     electronic transfer shall be made at the risk of the holder or joint
     holders. The Company shall not be responsible for the loss in transmission
     of any cheque or warrant or of any document (whether similar to a cheque or
     warrant or not) sent through the post as aforesaid or for the loss or
     misdirection of any electronic transfer. Payment of any such cheque or
     warrant, or the making of such electronic transfer, to whomsoever effected,
     shall be a good discharge to the Company. In this article reference to in
     writing shall


                                      -27-


     include the use of electronic communication, subject to any terms and
     conditions decided on by the directors.

110. Any dividend may be paid and satisfied, either wholly or in part, by the
     distribution of specific assets, or in paid-up shares, debentures or
     securities of the Company or of any other company, or in cash, or in any
     one or more of such ways as the directors of the Company in general meeting
     may at the time of declaring the dividend determine and direct, and where
     any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution the directors may
     settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may fix the value
     for distribution of such specific assets and may determine that cash
     payments shall be made to any member upon the footing of the value so fixed
     in order to secure equality of distribution and may vest any such assets in
     trustees upon such trusts for the persons entitled to the dividend as may
     seem expedient to the directors.

111. The directors may from time to time make such regulations as they may think
     fit in regard to the payment of dividends to members having registered
     addresses outside South Africa, and such regulations may provide for the
     payment of such dividends in any foreign currency and the rate of exchange
     at which such payment shall be made and such other matters as the directors
     may think fit.


                                    RESERVES

112. The directors may before recommending any dividend whether preferential or
     otherwise, set aside out of the profits of the Company such sum as they
     think proper as reserves which shall, at the discretion of the directors be
     applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may be
     properly applied and pending such application may, at the like discretion,
     either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such
     investments as the directors may from time to time think fit. The directors
     may also without placing the same to reserve, carry forward any profits
     which they may think prudent not to divide.


                                CAPITALISATION OR
                             DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS

113. The Company in general meeting may upon the recommendation of the directors
     at any time and from time to time resolve that it is desirable to
     capitalise all or any part of the amount for the time being standing to the
     credit of any of the Company's reserves or of any share premium account or
     capital redemption reserve fund or to the credit of the income statement or
     otherwise available for distribution and not required for the payment of
     the fixed dividends on any preference shares of the Company, and
     accordingly that such amount be set free for distribution among the members
     or any class of members who would be entitled thereto if distributed by way
     of dividend and in the same proportions on the footing that the same be not
     paid in cash but either be applied in paying up unissued shares of the
     Company to be issued to such members as fully paid capitalisation shares
     having a par value or be transferred to the Company's stated capital and be
     applied in distributing to such members shares of no par value.


                                      -28-


                       DIRECTORS POWERS ON CAPITALISATION
                           OR DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS

114. If any difficulty arises in regard to any distribution under the preceding
     article, the directors may settle the same as they think it expedient. They
     may make all appropriations and applications of the undivided profits or
     sum resolved to be capitalised thereby, and all allotments and issues of
     shares or debentures, if any, and generally shall do all acts and things
     required to give effect thereto, with full power to the directors to
     provide that fractions shall be ignored altogether, or by payment in cash
     or otherwise, as they think fit, in the case of shares or debentures
     becoming distributable in fractions. The directors may also appoint any
     person to enter, on behalf of all members entitled to the benefit of such
     appropriations and applications or to participate in such distribution,
     into any contract requisite or convenient for giving effect thereto, and
     such appointment and contract made under such appointment shall be
     effective and binding on all such members.


                               PAYMENTS TO MEMBERS

115. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding articles insofar as they
     relate to payments of dividends or distributions to members, the Company
     may from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Statutes, make
     payments to members.


                 SHARE CAPITAL, STATED CAPITAL AND SHARE PREMIUM
              ACCOUNT, RESERVES AND CAPITAL REDEMPTION RESERVE FUND

116. Without derogating from the provisions of Article 115, the Company may from
     time to time, subject to any requirements which may be imposed by the
     Statutes, by ordinary resolution authorise the directors to distribute all
     or any part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of or
     deal with, in any way recommended by the directors or authorised by the
     Statutes, any share capital, stated capital or share premium account, any
     reserves or any capital redemption reserve fund of the Company, save that
     the provisions of this article shall not apply in respect of any action
     properly taken by the Company in terms of Sections 76(3) or 98(4) of the
     Act.


                                    ACCOUNTS

117. The directors shall cause to be kept such accounting records and books of
     account as are prescribed by the Statutes.

118. The accounting records shall be kept at the office or (subject to the
     provisions of Section 284 of the Act) at such other place as the directors
     think fit, and shall at all times be open to inspection by the directors.
     Except as provided by the Statutes or by the authority of the directors no
     member (other than a director) shall have any right to inspect any
     accounting record book, account or document of the Company.

119. The directors shall, in accordance with Sections 286 and 288 of the Act,
     cause to be prepared and laid before the Company in annual general meeting
     such annual financial statements, group annual financial statements and
     group reports (if any) as are referred in


                                      -29-


     those sections and shall, in accordance with Section 303 of the Act,
     prepare or cause to be prepared interim reports.

120. Subject to the provisions of the Statutes, a copy of the annual financial
     statements, group annual financial statements and group reports referred to
     in the last preceding article shall be delivered or sent by post to the
     registered address of each member and debenture holder, to the disclosed
     address of each beneficial holder and to the Registrar (and at the same
     time there shall be forwarded to the secretary or other proper officer of
     any Stock Exchange on which any shares of the Company are listed or quoted,
     such number of copies of such documents as for the time being may be
     required under its regulations or practice) at least twenty-one clear days
     before the Annual General Meeting, so that such period shall not include
     the day on which such documents are delivered or sent, or deemed to be
     delivered or sent, or the day on which the meeting is to be held: Provided
     that this article shall not require a copy of the said documents to be sent
     to any person who is not entitled to receive notice of general meetings of
     the Company or of whose address the Company is not aware, or to more than
     one of the joint holders of any shares or debentures. Subject to the
     provisions of the Statutes, a copy of the interim reports referred to in
     the last preceding article shall be delivered or sent by post as aforesaid
     to the registered address of each member and debenture holder, to the
     disclosed address of each beneficial holder and to the Registrar (and at
     the same time there shall be forwarded as aforesaid, such number of copies
     of such documents as for the time being may be required under such Stock
     Exchange's regulations or practice). In this article reference to sent,
     delivered or forwarded shall include the use of electronic communication
     and publication on a web site in accordance with any applicable provision
     in the Statutes or any other applicable rules or requirements.


                                    AUDITORS

121. Auditors shall be appointed and their duties regulated in accordance with
     the provisions of the Statutes.

122. Subject to the provisions of the Statutes, all acts done by any person
     acting as auditor, shall, as regards all persons dealing in good faith with
     the Company, be valid notwithstanding that there was some defect in his
     appointment.

123. All annual financial statements when audited and laid before an Annual
     General Meeting shall be deemed conclusively correct, and shall not be
     re-opened.


                                     NOTICES

124. Any notice or other document may be served by the Company upon any member
     or beneficial holder either personally or by sending it through the post in
     a prepaid letter, envelope or wrapper, addressed to such member or
     beneficial holder at his registered address or to such beneficial holder at
     his address which has been disclosed to the Company and has been recorded
     in the Company's register of such disclosures: Provided that if the Company
     is prevented through circumstances beyond its control from so giving
     notice, then notice may be given by advertisement. Should it be necessary
     to give notice


                                      -30-


     by advertisement, such notice shall, subject to the provisions of the
     Statutes and the listings requirements of any Stock Exchange on which the
     shares of the Company are listed or quoted, be advertised in the Gazette
     and a newspaper circulating in the district in which the office is
     situated: Provided that where a branch register or transfer office has been
     established, such advertisement shall also be inserted in at least one
     leading newspaper circulating in the town or district in which such branch
     register or transfer office is located. Any member or beneficial holder
     described in the register of members or register of disclosures by an
     address not within South Africa or any country where a branch register is
     kept, who shall from time to time give to the Company an address within
     South Africa or such country at which notices may be served upon him, shall
     be entitled to have notices served upon him at such address. Save as
     aforesaid and as provided by the Statutes, no member or beneficial holder
     not described in the register of members or register of disclosures by an
     address within South Africa or any country where a branch register is kept,
     shall be entitled to receive any notice from the Company. Any notice to
     members and beneficial holders shall at the same time be given to the
     secretary or other proper official of any Stock Exchange on which the
     shares of the Company are listed or quoted, in accordance with the listings
     requirements of such Stock Exchange. In this article reference to sending,
     given or sent shall include the use of electronic communication and
     publication on a website in accordance with any applicable provision in the
     Statutes or any other applicable rules or requirements.

125. In the case of joint holders of a share, all notices shall unless such
     holders otherwise in writing direct and the directors agree, be given to
     that one of the joint holders whose name stands first in the register, and
     notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the joint holders. In
     this article reference to in writing shall include the use of electronic
     communication, subject to any terms and conditions decided on by the
     directors.

126. Any notice or other document, if served by post, shall be deemed to have
     been served at the time when the same was put in the post, and in proving
     such service it shall be sufficient to prove that the notice or document
     was properly addressed, stamped and put in the post. Any notice sent by the
     Company using electronic communication or publication on a website shall be
     deemed to have been served on the day on which it was sent. Proof that a
     notice contained in an electronic communication or published on a website
     was sent in accordance with guidelines determined from time to time by the
     directors shall be conclusive evidence that the notice was given.

127. Every person who, by operation of law, transfer or other means whatsoever,
     shall become entitled to any share, shall be bound by every notice in
     respect of such share which, previously to his name and address being
     entered on the register, shall have been given to the person from whom he
     derived his title to such share. Alternatively, a person who becomes so
     entitled to any share, and who proves this to the reasonable satisfaction
     of the directors, may give the Company an address for the purposes of
     receiving electronic communications. If this is done, notices may be sent
     to that person at that address, but this will be at the absolute discretion
     of the directors.

128. Any notice or other document delivered or sent using electronic
     communication or publication on a website or by post or left at the
     registered address of any member or the


                                      -31-


     disclosed address of any beneficial holder in pursuance of these articles
     shall, notwithstanding that such member or beneficial holder be then under
     legal incapacity, and whether or not the Company has notice of his legal
     incapacity, be deemed to have been duly served in respect of any share
     registered in the name of such member or any security in respect of which
     such beneficial holder has or is deemed to have a beneficial interest as a
     sole or joint holder unless his name shall at the time of the service of
     the notice or document have been removed from the relevant register as the
     holder of the share or other security; and such service shall for all
     purposes of these articles be deemed a sufficient service of such notice or
     document on all persons interested (whether jointly with or as claiming
     through or under him) in the share or other security.

129. Save as otherwise expressly provided, where a given number of days notice,
     or notice extending over any period, is required to be given, the day of
     service shall not, unless it is otherwise provided, be counted in such
     number of days or other period.

130. The signature to any notice to be given by the Company may be in writing.
     In this article reference to in writing shall include the use of electronic
     communication, subject to any terms and conditions decided on by the
     director and reference to signature shall include in any form which the

                                   WINDING UP

131. If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, with the sanction of a
     special resolution of the members divide among the members in specie or
     kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company and may for such
     purpose set such value as he deems fair upon any asset and may determine
     how the division shall be carried out as between the members or different
     classes of members. The liquidator may with the like sanction, vest the
     whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the
     benefit of the members or any of them as the liquidator, with the like
     sanction, shall think fit. Any such resolution may provide for and sanction
     a distribution of any specific assets amongst different classes of members
     otherwise than in accordance with their existing rights, but each member
     shall in that event have a right of dissent and other ancillary rights in
     the same manner as if such resolution were a special resolution passed
     pursuant to Section 390 of the Act.


                                    INDEMNITY

132. Subject to the provisions of Section 247 of the Act:

          defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which
          judgment is given in his favour, or in which he is acquitted, or in
          connection with any application under Section 248 of the Act in which
          relief is granted to him by the Court; and

                                      -32-


     (ii) every such person aforesaid shall be indemnified by the Company
          against and it shall be the duty of the directors out of the funds of
          the Company to pay all costs, losses and expenses which any such
          person may incur or become liable to by reason of any contract entered
          into or act or deed done by him as such director, secretary, manager
          or officer of the Company or in any way in the discharge of his
          duties.

133. Subject to the provisions of the Statutes, no director, manager, secretary
     or officer or servant of the Company shall be liable for the acts,

     or officer or servant, or for joining in any receipt or other act for
     conformity, or for loss or expense happening to the Company through the
     insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired by order of
     the directors for and on behalf of the Company, or for the insufficiency or
     deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the moneys of the
     Company shall be invested, or for any loss or damage arising from the
     insolvency or delict of any person with whom any moneys, securities or
     effects shall be deposited, or for any loss or damage occasioned by any
     error of judgment or oversight on his part, or for any other loss, damage
     or misfortune whatsoever which shall happen in the execution of his duties
     of office or in relation thereto, unless the same happen through his own
     dishonesty.


                             PRE-ACQUISITION PROFITS

134. Save as provided in Schedule 4 to the Act where any asset, business or
     property is bought by the Company as from a past date upon the terms that
     the Company shall as from that date take the profits and bear the losses
     thereof, such profits or losses (as the case may be) shall, at the
     discretion of the directors and so far as the law allows, be credited or
     debited wholly or in part to revenue account, and in that case the amount
     so credited or debited shall, for the purpose of ascertaining the fund
     available for dividend, be treated as a profit or loss arising from the
     business of the Company and the amount available for dividend shall be
     adjusted accordingly.
