Report of the Independent Auditors

to the members of The Tongaat-Hulett Group Limited

We have audited the annual financial statements and Group annual financial statements of The Tongaat- Hulett Group Limited set out under Segmental Analysis and pages 41 to 80 for the year ended 31 December 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes:

-	examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
-	assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
-	evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of the company and the Group at 31 December 2005 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and in the manner required by the Companies Act in South Africa.
