1 We have acted as South African counsel to the Registrant, MiX Telematics Limited, a company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Republic of South Africa (“South Africa”) (“MiX”) in connection with a registration statement on Form F-1 originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on                  including all amendments and supplements thereto (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) of its ordinary no par value shares, (“Ordinary Shares”) to be issued by the Registrant and sold by certain of its shareholders (“Selling Shareholders”), in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”).

2 For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined a copy of the Registration Statement. We have also reviewed and relied upon copies of, amongst others,–

3.2 the search of the electronic records of CIPC carried out in respect of the Registrant on 17 July 2013 as evidenced by the certificate of confirmation listed in 2.8 above is accurate in all respects and that there has been no change in the corporate status of the Registrant between that date and the date of this opinion;
