In accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) and the instructions to Form S-8, such documents are not being filed with the Commission either as part of this registration statement or as prospectuses or prospectus supplements pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act.

PART II
 
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
 
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference .
 
The Commission allows the registrant to incorporate by reference the information it files with it, which means that the registrant can disclose important information by referring to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is an important part of this registration statement, and information that the registrant files later with the Commission will automatically update and supersede this information. The registrant incorporates by reference the following documents it has filed, or may file, with the Commission:

(a) The registrant’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2014 filed with the Commission on July 30, 2014 (File No. 001-36027);
 
(b) The description of the registrant’s ordinary shares and American Depositary Shares contained in the registrant’s registration statement on Form 8-A (File No. 001-36027) filed with the Commission on July 26, 2013, and all amendments and reports subsequently filed for the purpose of updating that description.

  In addition, this registration statement will incorporate by reference all documents the registrant files under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “ Exchange Act ”) after the date of this registration statement and before the filing of a post-effective amendment stating that all securities offered have been sold or deregistering all securities then remaining unsold. All those documents will be considered a part of this registration statement from the respective dates the registrant files them. Any statement in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement will be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained in this registration statement or in any other later filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference modifies or supersedes the statement. Any statement modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as modified or superseded, to be a part of this registration statement.
 
Item 4.

Item 5.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers .
 
The registrant’s Memorandum of Incorporation provides that, subject to the provisions of the South African Companies Act, 2008, the registrant may indemnify its directors, managers, secretaries, and other officers or servants against all costs, losses and expenses they may incur or become liable to pay by reason of any contract entered into, or any act or omission done or omitted to be done by them in the discharge of their duties, including traveling expenses. The registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers and directors providing for indemnification of, and the advancement of, expenses to the fullest extent under the South African Companies Act, 2008.
 
Under the South African Companies Act, 2008, a company may not indemnify a director or officer in respect of any liability for any loss, damages or costs arising as a direct or indirect consequence of:
 
  
the director or officer having acted in the name of the company, signed anything on behalf of the company, or purported to bind the company or authorize the taking of any action by or on behalf of the company, despite knowing that he or she lacked the authority to do so;
 
  
the director or officer having acquiesced in the carrying on of the company’s business despite knowing that it was being conducted recklessly, with gross negligence, with intent to defraud any person or for any fraudulent purposes;
 
  
the director or officer having been a party to an act or omission by the company despite knowing that the act or omission was calculated to defraud a creditor, employee or shareholder of the company, or had another fraudulent purpose;
 
 
3

 
 
  
willful misconduct or willful breach of trust on the part of the director or officer; and
 
  
any fine that may be imposed on a director as a consequence of that director having been convicted of an offense, unless the conviction was based on strict liability.
 
Proceedings to recover any loss, damages or costs for which a person is or may be held liable may generally not be commenced more than three years after the act of omission that gave rise to that liability.
 
A company may claim reimbursement from any director or officer of the company for any money paid directly or indirectly to or on behalf of such director or officer in any manner inconsistent with the provisions of the South African Companies Act, 2008.
 
The South African Companies Act, 2008 provides that, except to the extent that the company’s Memorandum of Incorporation disallows it, a company may purchase insurance to protect a director or officer against any liability or expense for which the company may indemnify a director or officer and any expenses that the company is permitted to advance to a director or officer.
 
As permitted by the company’s Memorandum of Incorporation, the registrant has purchased directors and officers liability insurance from third parties for indemnification of its directors, officers and other employees for wrongful acts, as well as to reimburse the registrant for any indemnification that it provides to its directors, officers and other employees for wrongful acts .
 
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed .
 
Not Applicable.

Item 8.
Exhibits .
 
See the Exhibit Index, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.
Undertakings .
 
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
 
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
 
(2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
 
4

 
 
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Death, Retirement, retrenchment, ill-health, injury, disability and sale of Employer Company
 
  9.2.1.

9.2.1.1.  
death; or
 
9.2.1.2.  
Retirement; or
 
9.2.1.3.  
retrenchment, as determined in accordance with the Employer Company’s policy; or

the Participant’s Employer Company ceasing to be a member of the Group or the undertaking in which he is employed being transferred to a transferee which is not a member of the Group; or
 
9.2.1.6.  
any other reason, not listed above or in Rule 9.1.1;
 
a portion of his Award(s) shall Vest on the Date of Termination of Employment (in the case of Retention Shares) or the date as soon as reasonably possible thereafter when the RemCom has determined the extent to which the Performance Condition(s) have been met in accordance with Rule 6.3.5 (in the case of an Award of Performance Shares and / or SARs). The portion of the Award which shall Vest will be calculated in accordance with Rules 9.2.2 and 9.2.3. The portion of the Award of Performance Shares and / or SARs which do not Vest shall lapse.
 
In terms of SARs, the Participant will then have a period of 12 months from the Vesting Date to exercise SARs so Vested. To the extent that SARs are not exercised during this period, they will lapse upon their expiry.
 
  9.2.2.  
In respect of Retention Shares, the portion of the Award which shall Vest will reflect the number of complete months served since the Award Date to the Date of Termination of Employment, over the total number of months in the Vesting Period.
 
  9.2.3.  
In respect of the Performance Shares and / or SARs, if the Participant’s employment is terminated due to:
 
 
29

 
 
9.2.3.1.  
death, the RemCom will calculate whether, and the extent to which the Performance Condition(s) have been satisfied on the Date of Termination of Employment by reference to immediately preceding Performance Period. The portion of the Award which shall Vest will be determined based on the extent to which the Performance Condition(s) have been satisfied and the number of complete months served since the Award Date to the Date of Termination of Employment over the total number of months in the Vesting Period; or
 
9.2.3.2.  
retrenchment, Retirement, ill-health, injury, disability and sale of Employer Company, the RemCom will, in accordance with Rule 6.3.5, calculate whether, and the extent to which, the Performance Condition(s) have been satisfied on the Date of Termination of Employment. The portion of the Award which shall Vest will be determined based on the extent to which the Performance Condition(s) have been satisfied and the number of complete months served since the Award Date to the Date of Termination of Employment over the total number of months in the Vesting Period.
 
  9.2.4.  
To the extent that there is more than one Vesting Date and more than one Vesting Period in respect of a particular Award, the calculation set out in Rules 9.2.2 and 9.2.3 should be carried out in respect of each Vesting Period.
 
  9.2.5.  
The portion of the Award that does not Vest will lapse on the Date of Termination of Employment.
 
  9.2.6.  
Where a Participant holds Vested but unexercised SARs on the Date of Termination of Employment and the reason for termination is as set out in Rule 9.2, those SARs can be exercised within a period of 12 months following the Date of Termination of Employment, subject to the 12 months being within the SAR Period. To the extent that a SAR is not exercised during this period, it will lapse upon the earlier of the expiry of the 12 month period or the SAR Period.
 
 
30

 
 
  9.2.7.  
For the avoidance of doubt, any Awards of Performance Shares and / or Retention Shares which have already Vested and SARs which have already been exercised will be unaffected by this provision.

  10.1.2.  
the Majority of Operations of the Company being merged with those of another company or companies; or
 
  10.1.3.  
the Plan being terminated;
 
a portion of the Award held by a Participant will Vest on the Change of Control Date (in the case of Retention Shares), or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter when the RemCom has determined the extent to which the Performance Condition(s) have been met in accordance with Rule 6.3.5 (in the case of Performance Shares and / or SARs). The portion of the Award which shall Vest will be calculated in accordance with Rules 10.2 and 10.3.
 
 
31

 
 
  10.2.  
In respect of Retention Shares, the portion of the Award which shall Vest will reflect the number of complete months served since the Award Date to the Change of Control Date, over the total number of months in the Vesting Period.
 
  10.3.  
In respect of Performance Shares and / or SARs, the RemCom will calculate whether, and the extent to which, the Performance Condition(s) have been satisfied on the Change of Control Date by reference to immediately preceding Performance Period. If they have been satisfied, the portion of the Performance Shares and / or SARs which shall Vest will be determined based on the extent to which the Performance Condition(s) have been satisfied at the Change of Control Date and the number of complete months served since the Award Date to the Change of Control Date over the total number of months in the Vesting Period.
 
  10.4.  
To the extent that there is more than one Vesting Date and more than one Vesting Period in respect of a particular Award, the calculation set out in Rules 10.2 and 10.3 should be carried out in respect of each Vesting Period.

In this case the RemCom shall make such adjustment to the number of Awards or convert Awards into awards in respect of shares in one or more other companies provided the Participants are no worse off. The RemCom may also vary the Performance Condition(s) in accordance with Rule 6.2. 14.3(a)
 
  10.6.  
Subject to Rule 11, if any other event happens which may affect the Awards, including the Shares ceasing to be listed on the JSE (unless pursuant to a Change of Control as referred to in Rule 10.1.1) or if there is an internal reconstruction or other event which does not involve:

  10.6.1.  
any Change of Control; or
 
  10.6.2.  
any change in the ultimate Control of the Company; or
 
  10.6.3.  
a Change of Control which does not result directly in an event specified in Rules 10.1.1, 10.1.2 or 10.1.3;
 
the Award held by a Participant shall not Vest as a consequence of that event and shall continue to be governed by the Rules of the Plan. However, the RemCom may take such action as it considers appropriate to protect the interests of Participants following the occurrence of such event, including converting Awards into awards in respect of shares in one or more other companies, provided the Participant is no worse off.

UNITED STATES COUNTRY SCHEDULE/SUB-PLAN OF
 
MIX TELEMATICS LIMITED
 
LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
 
1.           INTRODUCTION
 
Mix Telematics Limited (the " Company ") has established the Mix Telematics Limited Long Term Incentive Plan (the " Plan ") for the benefit of selected persons who are Employees of the Group.  Pursuant to its authority under the Plan, the RemCom has determined that it is advisable to establish a specific County Schedule the terms of which are set forth below for the purposes of facilitating the award of Performance Shares, SARs, and Retention Shares under the Plan to Employees of the Group who are United States residents and taxpayers or who are or may become subject to United States tax ( i.e ., income tax and/or social security tax) as a result of Awards granted under the Plan (the " Sub-Plan ").  This Sub-Plan shall be read in conjunction with the Plan and is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Sub-Plan shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan.  The terms and conditions of this Sub-Plan are the terms of the Plan, modified as follows:
 
2.           SECTION 409A OF THE UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
 
2.1  
Generally .  The Awards granted under the Plan are intended to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code to avoid the imposition of any tax or interest or the inclusion of any amount in income pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, and the terms of each such Award shall be construed, administered and deemed amended, if applicable, in a manner consistent with this intention.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither any Employer Company nor any of their directors, officers, employees, agents or other service providers will be liable for any taxes, penalties or interest imposed on any Participant or other person with respect to any amounts paid or payable (whether in cash, Shares or other property) under any Award, including any taxes, penalties or interest imposed under or as a result of Section 409A of the Code.
 
 
1/8

 
 
Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan, if a Participant is a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code and determined in good faith by the RemCom) when a Participant’s employment with any Employer Company terminates, any Awards that are subject to Section 409A and payable on account of a termination of service will be delayed and made on the later of (i) such date the Award would otherwise have been payable to such a Participant; and (ii) 15 days after the end of the six-month period beginning on the Participant’s termination date (or, if earlier, within 15 days after the appointment of the personal representative or executor of the Participant’s estate following the Participant’s death), but only if such delay in the issuance of the shares is necessary to avoid the imposition of additional taxation on the Participant in respect of the shares under Section 409A of the Code.
 
Each installment of Shares that vests or otherwise becomes payable under the Plan is intended to constitute a “separate payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2).
 
“Termination of employment,” “resignation,” or words of similar import, as used in the Plan means, for purposes of any Awards and Settlement under the Plan that are payments of deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Participant’s “separation from service” as defined in Section 409A of the Code.

2.2   
Specific Compliance Considerations
 
    2.2.1   
Retention Shares and Control Definition
 
Notwithstanding Section 2.1.16 of the Plan, Control shall have the following meaning with respect to an Award of Retention Shares:
 
Change of Control means, notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the first of the following to occur: (i) a Change in Ownership of Company, (ii) a Change in Effective Control of Company, or (iii) a Change in the Ownership of Assets of Company, as described herein and construed in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.
 
(i)           A “Change in Ownership of Company” shall occur on the date that any one Person acquires, or Persons Acting as a Group acquire, ownership of the capital stock of Company that, together with the stock held by such Person or Persons Acting as a Group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the capital stock of Company.  However, if any one Person is, or Persons Acting as a Group are, considered to own more than 50%, on a fully diluted basis, of the total fair market value or total voting power of the capital stock of Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same Person or Persons Acting as a Group is not considered to cause a Change in Ownership of Company or to cause a Change in Effective Control of Company (as described below).  An increase in the percentage of capital stock owned by any one Person, or Persons Acting as a Group, as a result of a transaction in which Company acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock.
 
 
3/8

 
 
(ii)           A “Change in Effective Control of Company” shall occur on the date either (A) a majority of members of Company’s Board is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of Company’s Board before the date of the appointment or election, or (B) any one Person, or Persons Acting as a Group, acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons) ownership of stock of Company possessing 50% or more of the total voting power of the stock of Company.
 
The following rules of construction apply in interpreting the definition of Change in Control:
 
(A)           A “Person” means any individual, entity or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by Company and by entities controlled by Company or an underwriter, initial purchaser or placement agent temporarily holding the capital stock of Company pursuant to a registered public offering.
 
(B)           Persons will be considered to be Persons Acting as a Group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the corporation.  If a Person owns stock in both corporations that enter into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as Persons Acting as a Group with other shareholders only with respect to the ownership in that corporation before the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation.  Persons will not be considered to be Persons Acting as a Group solely because they purchase assets of the same corporation at the same time or purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering.

(C)           A Change in Control shall not include a transfer to a related person as described in Section 409A of the Code or a public offering of capital stock of Company.
 
(D)           For purposes of the definition of Change in Control, Section 318(a) of the Code applies to determine stock ownership.  Stock underlying a vested option is considered owned by the individual who holds the vested option (and the stock underlying an unvested option is not considered owned by the individual who holds the unvested option).  For purposes of the preceding sentence, however, if a vested option is exercisable for stock that is not substantially vested (as defined by Treasury Regulation §1.83-3(b) and (j)), the stock underlying the option is not treated as owned by the individual who holds the option.
