ACQUISITION OF 50.01% STAKE IN INDIAN DISTRIBUTOR                               
Datatec ("Datatec" or the "Group", JSE and LSE: DTC), the international         
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) group, has acquired a 50.01%    
stake in Inflow Technologies Private Limited ("Inflow"), an Indian ICT          
distribution business. The remaining 49.99% will continue be held by management 
and other existing shareholders.                                                
The acquisition of a 50.01% stake in Inflow, with its presence in nine key      
Indian cities, provides Datatec with an excellent entry point and initial       
footprint in India.  Inflow also has operations in Sri Lanka and Singapore.     
Inflow is a value-added distributor focusing on technology enablement and       
distribution of security, storage and networking products, solutions and        
services. Inflow has alliances with 22 global technology vendors including      
CheckPoint, Nokia, McAfee Ironport, Websense, Radware, NetApp and Quantum.   The
investment will also provide Datatec with a platform to add additional vendors  
and eventual incorporation into the Westcon brand.                              
Inflow achieved revenue of USD 32 million in the last financial year ending 31  
March 2008 and currently has over 130 employees.                                
Jens Montanana, CEO of Datatec commented:                                       
"India is a very large and fast growing market offering strong prospects in our 
sector with a lower cost of entry compared to many other developing markets and 
potentially higher returns and greater organic investment opportunities.  Our   
investment in Inflow is another important step in our international strategy to 
increase our exposure to the world`s major emerging markets which has recently  
seen our presence grow in markets such as Africa, the Middle East, Turkey and   
Brazil."                                                                        
Byju Pillai, CEO of Inflow Technologies commented:                              
"This investment along with access to global best practices of Datatec in value 
added distribution gives us greater ability to grow our market share, make      
alliances with new technology vendors and expand into new geographies."
