CEO Adopts Role of 'Global South African'

LONDON, May 26, 2010 - UK-headquartered substance abuse testing company - Trimega Laboratories -
has been invited to sponsor an exclusive briefing event in London at which
the Secretary General of the African National Congress, Mr Gwede Mantashe,
will deliver a keynote speech.

The cocktail briefing is taking place tonight (26th May 2010) at the
Crown Plaza hotel in St James's and is being hosted by the Progressive
Business Forum of the ANC (PBF). Mr Mantashe will speak on the topic of
"Achieving the ANC's vision of a better life for all South Africans, in a
spirit of partnership."

Trimega Laboratories' invitation to participate as sponsor is
a direct result of its success in establishing a high-growth bi-lateral
business, which operates commercially between South Africa and Europe. The
award-winning company was founded in London in 2005 by entrepreneurial South
African, Avi Lasarow, who soon 'repatriated' some of his business acumen by
launching South Africa's first ever roadside drug testing pilot project*. By
subsequently supporting the PBF in London, Lasarow has become the epitome of
a 'Global South African', which President Zuma recently highlighted as being
important figureheads to foster relations between the countries.

Avi Lasarow, CEO of Trimega Laboratories, commented: "When
leading figures began talking about the concept of 'Global South Africans' as
a way to restore some confidence in the country, I was inspired as a UK CEO
to see what new opportunities lay in South Africa. Sponsoring this event with
the Secretary General is simply a token of my appreciation in being motivated
to return home and invest positively in South Africa's future."

* In 2008, Trimega launched the DrugAlyzer(TM) along with the
results of South Africa's first ever drug driving survey. The project was run
in partnership with The Department of Community Safety & Traffic Law
Enforcement, and endorsed by Minister for Community Safety, Patrick McKenzie.
The DrugAlyzer takes a sample of saliva or sweat to determine if a driver is
under the influence of a drug that has a narcotic effect whilst behind the
wheel. The project is likely to lead to a wider intervention study or be
implemented within the existing legal framework. Indeed, it has led to
further trials of substance misuse products among South Africa's biggest
employers including DeBeers, BHP Billiton and Transnet.
