This Pre-listing Statement has been prepared, and issued in compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements for the purposes of providing information to Shareholders with regard to the business and affairs of the Company and the Group and has been prepared on the basis that the Unbundling shall become effective and be implemented. This Pre-listing Statement relates to the Admission of the issued Shares on the main board of the JSE by introduction as a primary listing. The JSE has approved the Admission of all of the Company’s issued, and to be issued, Shares in the “Broadcasting and Entertainment” sector of the JSE under the abbreviated name “MC Group” and share code “MCG”. It is expected that the Admission and unconditional dealings in the Shares will commence with effect from the commencement of trading on Wednesday, 27 February 2019. The international securities identification number (“ISIN”) for the Shares is ZAE000265971. There will not be any stabilisation activity in relation to the Shares. The Shares will only be traded on the JSE in Dematerialised or Uncertificated Form and accordingly all holders of Shares (“Shareholders”) who hold their Shares in Certificated Form will have to dematerialise their Shares should they wish to trade on the JSE. No Shares have been marketed or offered to, nor are any available for purchase, in whole or in part, to any person in any jurisdiction in connection with the Admission. This Pre-listing Statement does not constitute an offer or invitation to any person to subscribe for or purchase any Shares in the Company in any jurisdiction including an offer to the public or section of the public in any jurisdiction, and is issued in compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements, for the purposes of providing information to Naspers Shareholders with regard to the Company and the Group. Consequently, this Pre-listing Statement does not, nor does it intend to, constitute a “registered prospectus”, as contemplated by the South African Companies Act, 71 of 2008 (as amended) (“Companies Act”). As a result, this Pre-listing Statement does not comply with the substance and form requirements for prospectuses set out in the Companies Act and the South African Companies Regulations of 2011 and has not been approved by, and/or registered with, the South African Companies and Intellectual Property Commission, or any other South African authority. The JSE has approved this Pre-listing Statement. The Company’s issued share capital comprised 438 837 468 Shares, with a stated capital of R0, on the Last Practicable Date and is expected to comprise 438 837 468 Shares with a stated capital of R0 on the date of Admission. No Shares are, or on the Admission Date, are expected to be, held in treasury by the Group. The Directors, whose names are set out in “Part IX – Directors, Senior Management and Corporate Governance” of this Pre-listing Statement, collectively and individually, accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information provided in this Pre-listing Statement and certify that, to the best of their knowledge and belief there are no other facts, the omission of which would make any statement in this Pre-listing Statement false or misleading, and confirm that they have made all reasonable enquiries in this regard and confirm that this Pre-listing Statement contains all information required by the JSE Listings Requirements. Shareholders that are Foreign Persons or Foreign Entities (“Foreign Shareholders”) should take note of the variable entitlement to exercise voting rights attaching to Shares held by Foreign Shareholders in certain circumstances in order to ensure compliance by the Group with the Foreign Control Restrictions. In particular, if at a meeting of Shareholders Foreign Shareholders hold in excess of 20% of the voting rights attaching to the Shares, the Foreign Shareholders will be entitled to exercise only a pro rata portion of the aggregate voting rights attached to the Shares held by all Foreign Shareholders at such time such that the aggregate voting rights entitled to be exercised by Foreign Shareholders will not exceed 20% of the aggregate voting rights entitled to be exercised by Shareholders. Please refer to “Part XIII – Incorporation and Share Capital” which contains a summary of the variable voting rights attaching to Shares held by Foreign Shareholders and Annexe 16 setting out the salient provisions of the Company MOI, including the terms attaching to Shares and the variable voting rights in relation to Foreign Shareholders. The release, publication or distribution of this Pre-listing Statement in jurisdictions other than South Africa may be restricted by law and therefore persons in whose possession this Pre-listing Statement comes should inform themselves about, and observe, such restrictions. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws or regulations of any such jurisdiction.

  • We Were Cut Off from the Comprehension of Our Surroundings
    Black Peril, White Fear – Representations of Violence and Race in South Africa’s English Press, 1976-2002, and Their Influence on Public Opinion Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung der Doktorwürde der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität zu Köln vorgelegt von Christine Ullmann Institut für Völkerkunde Universität zu Köln Köln, Mai 2005 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The work presented here is the result of years of research, writing, re-writing and editing. It was a long time in the making, and may not have been completed at all had it not been for the support of a great number of people, all of whom have my deep appreciation. In particular, I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Michael Bollig, Prof. Dr. Richard Janney, Dr. Melanie Moll, Professor Keyan Tomaselli, Professor Ruth Teer-Tomaselli, and Prof. Dr. Teun A. van Dijk for their help, encouragement, and constructive criticism. My special thanks to Dr Petr Skalník for his unflinching support and encouraging supervision, and to Mark Loftus for his proof-reading and help with all language issues. I am equally grateful to all who welcomed me to South Africa and dedicated their time, knowledge and effort to helping me. The warmth and support I received was incredible. Special thanks to the Burch family for their help settling in, and my dear friend in George for showing me the nature of determination. Finally, without the unstinting support of my two colleagues, Angelika Kitzmantel and Silke Olig, and the moral and financial backing of my family, I would surely have despaired. Thank you all for being there for me. We were cut off from the comprehension of our surroundings; we glided past like phantoms, wondering and secretly appalled, as sane men would be before an enthusiastic outbreak in a madhouse.
