1. INTRODUCTION
In furtherance of its empowerment objectives, Naspers recently implemented a Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (“BEE”) ownership initiative in relation to Media24 Limited (“Media24”). This initiative was called Welkom Yizani. It will result in the acquisition by qualifying Black Persons and Black Groups (“General Black Public” or “Black Participants”) of ordinary shares in the issued share capital of Welkom Yizani Investments Limited (“Welkom Yizani”), which in turn will hold ordinary shares in the issued share capital of Media24 Holdings (Proprietary) Limited (“Media24 Holdings”), the holding company of Media24. Shareholders are referred to the Naspers announcement published on 27 September 2006 in this regard.
2. RESULTS OF THE WELKOM YIZANI PUBLIC OFFER AND ALLOCATION OF SHARES
Approximately 108 000 applications were received for the 14 600 000 Welkom Yizani ordinary shares offered to the public (“the public offer”), pursuant to the public offer that closed on 3 November 2006 (“the closing date”). The details are as follows:
Number of Welkom Yizani ordinary shares applied for: 42 193 885 
Rand amount of R421 938 850.
The offer was almost three times subscribed. The processing of applications is currently under way and should be finalised soon. In keeping with our broad-based objectives and subject to all applications having been verified, it has been resolved that all Black Person and Black Group applicants that applied for Welkom Yizani ordinary shares up to a value of R4 300, will be allocated the full number of Welkom Yizani ordinary shares they applied for (430). Applicants who applied for more than 430 Welkom Yizani ordinary shares, will receive at least 430 Welkom Yizani ordinary shares. This allocation will result in approximately 85% of all applicants receiving the full parcel of shares they applied for.
The process to refund excess application monies will begin in mid - December 2006.

Cape Town, South Africa, 27th November 2006 - Naspers Limited (JSE: NPN, NASDAQ:
NPSN), today announced the results of black economic empowerment schemes at Media24 and
MultiChoice South Africa.

Naspers chairman, Ton Vosloo, announced today that the public offer to black economic
empowerment individuals and groups to invest in Media24 and MultiChoice South Africa
(MCSA) had been overwhelmingly successful.
Hein Brand, Media24’s chief executive said: “In respect of the Media24 scheme, some 107 000
individuals and 1 450 groups applied for shares in Welkom Yizani, the empowerment company
that will hold the stake in Media24. This resulted in the offer being three times subscribed”.
Brand indicated that the agreed basis of allocation was that all applicants be awarded shares
worth up to a value of R4 300. This would ensure that 85% of all individuals and groups, who
applied, receive all the shares they asked for.
As regards MCSA, approximately 119 000 individuals and 1 800 groups applied for shares, also
resulting in the offer being almost three times subscribed.
Nolo Letele, chief executive of MCSA, said: “The current indication is that applicants who
applied for shares up to R50 000 in value would receive a full allocation. This would satisfy 98%
of all individuals and groups who applied”.

Vosloo added: “At the outset of both schemes, we defined our aim as to achieve a broad base of
shareholders. We aimed at teachers and plumbers and civil servants. Hopefully, with such a basis
of allocation, we will achieve this aim in the fairest possible manner”.
Koos Bekker, CEO of Naspers, commented: “Not in our wildest dreams did we believe that both
schemes would attract in excess of 100 000 individuals as investors. This is an indication of the
desire on the part of ordinary people to participate in the formal economy”.
Bekker added: “We had originally indicated that Naspers was following a phased approach to
empowerment. The next phase was dependent on the successful conclusion of the Naspers and
Johncom transaction, at which time we would inject the entire M-Net/SuperSport stake into
MCSA. The idea was to ensure that M-Net and SuperSport are also properly empowered.
“Now that the M-Net/SuperSport agreement has been signed, and in view of the enormous
success of our BEE schemes, the Naspers board has approved a further offering of up to 7,5% in
MCSA. The intention is to apply similar financial terms as the existing Phuthuma Nathi scheme
in MCSA. We hope to finalise this scheme in the first quarter of 2007”.
Bekker added that: “This second offer would only be made to those black individuals and
groupings who had applied for the first Welkom Yizani and Phuthuma Nathi offers in the first
round, and who did not receive the full amounts of their application. No allocations are
guaranteed – but we will take into account existing business relationships”.
All Welkom Yizani and Phuthuma Nathi participants who were not fully allocated the shares
they applied for should receive their refunds by mid-December.
