ACQUISITION OF TOUCHBASE SINGAPORE                                              
Datatec Limited ("Datatec", JSE/AIM: DTC), the international Information and    
Communications Technology (ICT) group announces that its subsidiary Logicalis   
Group has acquired the business of Touchbase Singapore from Touchbase Group.    
Touchbase Singapore is a unified communications (UC) solutions provider focusing
on the areas of UC and customer contact centres for enterprise and multinational
corporations.                                                                   
Touchbase Singapore has become one of the strongest Cisco UC and contact centre 
partners in Asia. It has annual revenues of approximately US$8million. The      
business will be integrated into Logicalis` Singapore operation,                
NetstarLogicalis, with immediate effect to further build Logicalis` presence in 
the Asia Pacific region.  The terms of the consideration have not been          
disclosed.                                                                      
Jens Montanana, Datatec`s Chief Executive commented:                            
"This acquisition brings further UC and customer contact expertise to Logicalis 
as well as growing its Asia Pacific presence and reinforcing the Cisco Asia     
relationship. Touchbase Singapore also has an extensive client base to which    
Logicalis can now provide a broader service offering."
