NET 1 UEPS TECHNOLOGIES INC – FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED
30 JUNE 2004

We have read paragraphs 2 and 3 of Item 9 of Net 1 UEPS Technologies Inc report on Form 10-K, which read as follows:

               "Fisher Hoffman's reports on Aplitec's consolidated financial statements for the 2003 and 2002 fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except as noted therein with regards the segment report and earnings per share disclosures.

During Aplitec's 2003 and 2002 fiscal years and through November 30, 2003 (the date of Aplitec's annual report adjusted for the US GAAP adjustments for the year ended June 30, 2003), there were no disagreements with Fisher Hoffman on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Fisher Hoffman's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on Aplitec's consolidated financial statements for such years; and there were no reportable events, as listed in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of SEC Regulation S-K."

We confirm that we are in agreement with the aforementioned statements.

Yours faithfully
