Vodacom Press Releases

As at June 30, 2006, Vodacom Group recorded 25.2 million customers across its networks operating in South Africa, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lesotho and Mozambique, reflecting a 7.3% increase in the three months since March 31, 2006. The growth in the customer base is a result of high gross customer connections of 3.5 million for the quarter. The Group's other non South African operations comprised 4.9 million customers, or 19.3% of the total customer base.

"Since our 50% shareholder Vodafone will be releasing some of the key financial highlights of the Vodacom Group today, I have deemed it prudent to repeat these in our own press release on the same day to ensure clarity.", said Alan Knott-Craig Chief Executive Officer for the Vodacom Group.
