PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company Registration Number: 1892/000667/06) JSE Code: PPC ISIN: ZAE 000170049 ( PPC Ltd (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Company registration number: 1892/000667/06) JSE Code: PPC ISIN: ZAE 000170049 ("PPC" or the “Company") MEDIA RELEASE 7 February 2013 PPC Zimbabwe celebrates its centenary and announces expansion plans Portland Holdings Limited (PHL), PPC’s Zimbabwe subsidiary, has announced its intention to construct a new cement plant to service the Harare and central Mozambique markets. The new plant will have a capacity of approximately one million tons of cement per annum and will coincide with the construction of a separate grinding facility in the neighbouring territory of Tete in Mozambique. Ketso Gordhan, the CEO of PPC said in Harare today, “In recent years our investment in Zimbabwe has shown strong growth on the back of a more buoyant and stable economy. This together with the fact that PPC has received an indigenisation certificate makes us optimistic about the future of the economy and the country as a whole.” This announcement was made during the PHL’s centenary celebrations in Harare today. PHL was first registered as a company on 6 February 1913 and, similar to its parent company in South Africa, has for 100 years been an integral part of Zimbabwe’s infrastructure development. Its core cement brand, Unicem, can be found in virtually every key structure in the region from the Harare International Airport to the mighty walls of Kariba Dam. “The construction of additional cement capacity will ensure that PPC continues to be a key player in the development of infrastructure in Zimbabwe and neighbouring countries. It is totally in line with our stated strategy of growing our non-South African revenue from the current 21% to at least 40% by 2016”, adds Gordhan. The preliminary study for a new plant in the Mashonaland province is at an advanced stage, and significant investment has already been made in exploration drilling at various locations. PPC has dedicated resources in Zimbabwe and this, together with support from PPC’s head office, will now commence with a full scale feasibility study including the selection of an equipment supplier. Zak Limbada, the MD of PHL, said “Not only will this investment address the expected future increase in cement demand in Zimbabwe, but create employment opportunities, beneficiation of the country’s mineral reserves, and a significant growth opportunity for our indigenisation partners.” -Ends – Issued by: Ogilvy Public Relations Contact: Cheryl Reddy Account Director 079 881 2417 [email protected] On behalf of: PPC Cement Contact: Nomzamo Khanyile Public Relations Manager 072-261-7588 [email protected] Sponsor: Merrill Lynch South Africa (Pty) Ltd Notes to editors: PPC Ltd is the majority shareholder of Portland Holdings Limited. It acquired PHL in 2001. History of PHL (PPC Zimbabwe) Date Activity 6 February Portland Holdings Limited, now trading as “PPC Zimbabwe” was registered under 1913 the name “Premier Portland Cement Company”. 1914 The company went into production at Cement Siding near Bulawayo. The first sale was to then Wankie Colliery Ltd, a relationship that has endured for 100 years. In this year the company produced 25 tons of cement a day. 1916 Exports to Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) and the Belgian Congo (Democratic Republic of Congo) commenced. 1918 PPC Ltd first acquired an interest in Premier Portland Cement Company 1921 Premier Portland Cement Company was listed for the first time on the local Stock Exchange 1928 PPC Ltd, through further investment, acquired control of Premier Portland Cement Company 1930 Premier Portland Cement opened the Colleen Bawn Quarry. The plant near Bulawayo was upgraded. 1946 A rival cement company, Rhodesia Cement (Ltd), established a factory at Colleen Bawn. 1946 A second manufacturer, Rhodesia Cement Ltd (Rhocem) went into production. 1949 “Rhocem” began production with the capacity of 80 000 tonne/annum 1950 Premier Portland followed up with a new 80 000 ton/annum kiln at Cement Siding 1960’s Political uncertainty saw demand plunge by almost 50% 1963 Premier Portland Cement and “Rhocem” were working at one third of their capacity 1965 Premier Portland and “Rhocem” merged their cement making assets into a joint company – United Portland Cement Co. (Pvt) Ltd (and the Brand “UNICEM” was born) with a 50/50 shareholding 1980 Rhodesia Cement Ltd changed its name to Portland Holdings Ltd (PHL) 1982 PPC Ltd exited Zimbabwe and sold its entire shareholding in Premier Portland Cement to PHL 1984 PHL established an Employee Shareholder Trust 1980’s and PPC Ltd maintained its support through technical agreements 1990’s 1993 – 1998 The company took advantage of the liberalisation of the Zimbabwean economy and rebuilt both the Colleen Bawn and Bulawayo factories. 1999 Annual cement demand in Zimbabwe was around 1.2 million tons 2001 PPC Ltd acquired 100% of PHL, this was seen as an investment as well as a step in the development and growth of PPC’s geographic footprint. PPC Ltd listed on the Zimbabwe Stck exchange, and PHL delisted. 2008 The annual cement demand in Zimbabwe declined to around 100 000 tons. 2009 The Zimbabwe economy adopted the US dollar as its primary currency, since then cement demand has risen substantially reaching demand in 2012 similar to those achieved in 1999. 2010 The old rotary clinker cooler at Colleen Bawn was replaced by a state of the art hydraulic operated grate cooler. This $20 million dollar project resulted in improved energy efficiency, higher grade clinker and increased capacity by around 20%. 2012 PPC receives indigenisation certificate PHL announces further expansion at the Bulawayo factory. 2013 PPC Zimbabwe announces the intention to commence a full scale feasibility study which will culminate in a new cement plant being built in the country. .

Box 776, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe d Minerals Resources Centre, University of Zimbabwe, P.O. Box MP167, Mt. Pleasant, Harare, Zimbabwe Abstract The Mzingwane River is a sand filled channel, with extensive alluvial aquifers distributed along its banks and bed in the lower catch- ment. LandSat TM imagery was used to identify alluvial deposits for potential groundwater resources for irrigation development. On the false colour composite band 3, band 4 and band 5 (FCC 345) the alluvial deposits stand out as white and dense actively growing veg- etation stands out as green making it possible to mark out the lateral extent of the saturated alluvial plain deposits using the riverine fringe and vegetation . The alluvial aquifers form ribbon shaped aquifers extending along the channel and reaching over 20 km in length in some localities and are enhanced at lithological boundaries. These alluvial aquifers extend laterally outside the active channel, and individual alluvial aquifers have been measured with area ranging from 45 ha to 723 ha in the channels and 75 ha to 2196 ha on the plains. The alluvial aquifers are more pronounced in the Lower Mzingwane, where the slopes are gentler and allow for more sediment accumulation.

  • Zimbabwe Election Support Network
    ZIMBABWE ELECTION SUPPORT NETWORK Mop-up Mobile Voter Registration Report The Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN) observed the mop-up mobile voter registration exercise that started on the 26th of October and ended on the 15th of November 2007. The exercise was hampered by poor publicity and several logistical shortcomings. Highlights • Exercise poorly publicised • Majority of people unaware of the voter registration exercise • Power cuts affect registration • Shortage of registration forms and photographic films • Political parties barely visible in mobilization of prospective voters • Most traditional leaders facilitate registration of their subjects • Some registration officials continue to demand bribes from poor peasants Methodology This report is based on actual observations of observers that ZESN deployed to the following districts: Mazowe, Bindura, Guruve and Mt Darwin in Mashonaland Central; Hurungwe, Kadoma, Makonde, Kariba and Chegutu in Mashonaland West. ZESN also received reports from its observers in UMP; Marondera; Hwedza; Murewa; Chikomba; Seke; Mudzi and Mutoko in Mashonaland East. ZESN also deployed observers in Kwekwe, Chirumhanzu and Gweru in the Midlands. The report is also based on observer reports in Masvingo Province from Chiredzi,Gutu, Chivi, Bikita, Mwenezi and Zaka Districts. ZESN also deployed observers in Harare and Bulawayo. The report is also based on the feedback that ZESN has received from the members of the public on the exercise through its community workshops. Publicity and Awareness ZESN observers have not observed any posters by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission close to some of the centers where the registration is going on. ZESN however observed that the majority of the people at most centers were unaware that there was voter registration going on but were aware that national ID cards were being issued.

  • A Double Edged Sword
    STAY HOME - OR FEED YOUR CHILDREN: A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD Maize meal queue in Bulawayo high density suburbs during lockdown, 14 April. COVID 19 UPDATE: 4 – 23 April 2020 Bulawayo and Rural Matabeleland UKUTHULA TRUST 23 APRIL 2020 1 SUMMARY OF MAIN POINTS • The lockdown was respected for the first week in Bulawayo, but highly localised activities have since resumed, including beer consumption, hair styling, all kinds of sales, without any meaningful physical distancing. This is seen as necessity, not defiance. • Forms of transport remain highly restricted, with only ZUPCO allowed to operate. This has not totally prevented urban movement: people simply walk into town using footpaths. • The terms of lockdown remain confusing and are being arbitrarily applied at times, depending on the idiosyncratic interpretation of police at any roadblock. There are glaring anomalies that may indicate corruption or cronyism – such as the widespread travel and harvesting of Mopani worms by those outside of Matabeleland, who seem able to travel long distances in private vehicles with impunity. • There were several instances of army beatings in Bulawayo in the week preceding the visit of Vice President Mohadi and others on 18 April, allegedly to check on the state of lockdown and to open Ekusileni Medical centre. Since then, army brutality seems to have eased. • There were widespread reports throughout the first 21 days of lockdown, of over congestion in subsidized maize meal queues; of corruption and hoarding of stock by retailing outlets who sold some stock and reserved the rest for the black market; of retailers selling disproportionate amounts to the police and army.

The family settled in Natal where Thomas and his brothers John and Stewart gained their first farming ex­ perience. In 1892 the three brothers set off for Rhodesia with eight ox- wagons. Three months later they had completed the 700 mile trek to Fort Victoria. Here they opened a store made of whiskey cases and roofed over with the tarpaulins that had covered their wagons. Progress was at first slow, nevertheless, branches were opened in Salisbury in 1893, Bulawayo and Gwelo in 1894, and in Umtali in 1897. From these small beginnings a vast network of stores, hotels, farms, mines and auxilliary undertakings was built up. These ventures culminated in the formation of the Thomas Meikle Trust and Investment Company in 1933. The success of these many enterprises was mainly due to Thomas Meikle's foresight and his business acumen, coupled with his ability to judge character and gather around him a loyal and efficient staff. His great pioneering spirit lives on: today the Meikle Organisation is still playing an important part in the development of Rhodesia. THOMAS MEIKLE TRUST AND INVESTMENT CO. (PVT.) LIMITED.
