    Lonrho (AIM: LONR) the conglomerate with a structured portfolio of African investments is pleased to announce that e-Kwikbuild, its
55.6% owned subsidiary, has been awarded two contracts in Angola for its prefabricated buildings. 

    Subsequent to the opening of its new production facility at Port Elizabeth, South Africa, in November 2008, the company announced that
it would now have production capacity to further develop its export market. 

    e-Kwikbuild is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract with Kimbo Limbombewa, a local NGO, for the development of a new
facility, including a school, training rooms and accommodation for young orphans. The project is funded by the Fund of Social Responsibility
(Block 14), which is jointly managed by Chevron and Sonangol. The first stage of the contract is for US$ 1.5 million and is to be built in
Viana, close to Luanda. The total project value with further phases is for US$ 4.5 million. 

    e-Kwikbuild is also pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract by Sul Engineeria, Angola, for the supply of  an office and
residential buildings to be constructed on the outskirts of Luanda. The development has a value of US$ 500,000.

    David Lenigas, Lonrho's Executive Chairman commented:

    "I am delighted that e-Kwikbuild has been able to secure these export contracts for Angola. The opportunities for e-Kwikbuild to provide
building solutions in Angola for offices; schools, clinics; accommodation and other buildings is significant.

    "With the opening of the new production facility in Port Elizabeth we are now seeing an increasing order book across other African
countries. Due to added capacity eKwikbuild now can accelerate its manufacturing and delivery on time and on schedule."
