                         Cautionary Notice to Shareholders



Shareholders are advised that earnings per share for the year ended 31 March
2003 are anticipated to be higher than market expectations and substantially
above those of the corresponding period in the prior year.  The better results
arise from improved operating performance and a review of our foreign assets.


Shareholders and potential investors in Meikles Africa Limited are urged to
exercise caution when dealing with the company's shares.



                                                                   14 April 2003
