| Notes to proxy |
| 1. |
A shareholder may insert the name of a proxy
or the names of two alternative proxies of the shareholder’s
choice in the space/s provided, with or without deleting 'the
chairman of the annual general meeting of shareholders' but
any such deletion must be initialled by the shareholder. The
person whose name stands first on the form of proxy and who
is present at the annual general meeting of shareholders will
be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose
names follow. |

A DRD shareholder's instruction to the proxy
must be indicated in the appropriate box by inserting the number
of shares in respect of which the shareholder wishes his/her
proxy to cast his/her votes. |
| 3. |
Should there be no indication in the appropriate
box as to how the shareholder wishes his/her votes to be cast
by the proxy then the proxy will be deemed to have been authorised
to vote or abstain from voting at the annual general meeting
as the proxy deems fit. |
| 4. |
A shareholder may instruct the proxy to vote
in respect of less than the total number of shares in the appropriate
box provided. A shareholder who gives no indication as to the
number of shares in respect of which the proxy is entitled to
vote will be deemed to have authorised the proxy to vote or
abstain from voting, as the case may be, in respect of all the
shareholder's votes exercisable at the annual general meeting. |

A complete form of proxy, to be effective,
must reach the transfer secretaries in South Africa, the United
