REPORT ON PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETING                                        
At the general meeting of Datatec Limited ("Datatec")JSE and LSE: DTC), held at 
10h00 today, 23 December 2009, both the ordinary resolutions, as proposed in the
notice to the general meeting, were passed by a 95.9% majority.                 
The resolutions give the directors of Datatec the authority to issue new Datatec
shares to the value of US$ 19 800 000 as consideration for the acquisition of   
NetStar Group Holding Limited ("NetStar") which was announced on 8 December     
2009.                                                                           
The following additional information was made available concerning the NetStar  
acquisition in response to queries from shareholders at the meeting:            
NetStar is in a net cash position and approximately 60%of the purchase          
consideration is represented by Tangible Net Asset Value.                       
The total consideration of $19.8 million to be settled through the issue of     
Datatec shares includes the amount of $3.3 million to be paid to NetStar        
management.                                                                     
The unaudited consolidated results of the NetStar operations included in the    
circular are based on audited subsidiary accounts, and the delivery of audited  
consolidated accounts is a condition precedent to the transaction completing.   
Datatec management is comfortable with the NetStar forecasts for its financial  
year ended 30 June 2010, which are based in part on actual financial performance
to date. In addition, a profit warranty for this period forms part of the       
transaction.
