Press Release Summary: Cape Town, 30 October 2007 - Woolworths, one of Africa's
largest clothing and food retailers has named PIC Solutions as the Woolworths IT
Services Supplier of the Year.

Press Release Body: Woolworths has traded for over 75 years and has more than 330
stores throughout Africa and the Middle East. Its holding company, Woolworths
Limited, is one of the top 100 companies listed on the Johannesburg Securities
Exchange.

All of the IT Services suppliers were carefully reviewed by Woolworths for this
annual award across a wide range of measures, including consistently providing
innovative solutions that supported and enhanced the Woolworths Business.

The award went to PIC Solutions in recognition of the excellence of the ICT
professional services team dedicated to provide ongoing support and maintenance to
Woolworths for their VisionPLUS®, TRIADT and StrategyWare® software systems. The
winner of the award in 2006 was Microsoft.

Samuel Ngumeni, Head of Woolworths Financial Services, comments, "PIC Solutions has
proven most valuable in assisting us with our objective to strategically change our
business decisions and policies. It makes sound business sense for us to outsource
our technical support and maintenance for our credit management systems as PIC
Solutions has a large team of ICT personnel; this means that the support available
to our critical systems in Financial Services is broader and thus more effective."

Stephen J. Leonard, Managing Director of PIC Solutions adds "We have built and
maintained an excellent partnership with Woolworths over a number of years and our
ICT specialists have worked closely with the Woolworths team across a broad spectrum
of initiatives in the financial services arena, in which we provide dedicated
expertise in the most cost-effective and flexible manner. This is a great
achievement considering the calibre of the competition and so congratulations go out
to Craig Oliver and his team for achieving so much in this software outsourcing
relationship."
