VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT: INCREASED OFFER TO ACQUIRE COMZTEK HOLDINGS             
Datatec Limited, "Datatec" or the "Group", (JSE and LSE: DTC), the international
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) group, announced on 2 September 
2010 that it had made a conditional offer to acquire 100% of the share capital  
of Comztek Holdings (Pty) Ltd ("Comztek"), a South African registered company,  
for a total consideration of R97 million.  41.84% of Comztek is owned by Mustek 
Limited (JSE: MST, "Mustek").                                                   
Datatec has satisfactorily completed the due diligence process in relation to   
this conditional offer and has increased its offer to R101 million. The         
consideration will be settled partly in cash and partly by the issue of Datatec 
and/or subsidiary shares.                                                       
The offer is now subject only to contract, governmental, regulatory and         
commercial approvals and is conditional upon Mustek continuing to provide       
support to Comztek in the form of parent company guarantees, consistent with    
past practice, until the completion of the transaction.                         
The offer remains open until Monday 18 October 2010.
