Sappi appoints new Chief Executive for Fine Paper business

Sappi today announced the appointment of a new London based Chief Executive
of Sappi Fine Paper.

As of 1st May 2001 William (Bill) Sheffield will take over this role from
Sappi Executive Chairman, Eugene Van As, who has been acting as interim
Chief Executive of Sappi Fine Paper since the acquisition of KNP Leykam. Mr
Sheffield will also join the Sappi Limited Board.

Eugene van As, Executive Chairman of Sappi, said;

"I am delighted that we have found a candidate of Bill Sheffield's calibre
and experience to lead the Fine Paper business.  He has highly relevant
international industrial experience, which will add significant weight to
our business."

A Canadian citizen, Bill Sheffield was until recently Executive Vice
President of International Operations and Corporate Development at Abitibi
Consolidated, the world's largest producer of newsprint.  In that role, he
was responsible for the Group's international operations and joint ventures.
Prior to this, he held responsibilities in Logistics and Marketing.

Sappi also announced that Monte Haymon, President and Chief Executive of
Sappi Fine Paper North America, indicated last year that he wished to retire
at the end of 2001. He will, however, remain on the Sappi Limited Board
after his retirement.  Haymon will serve as  non-executive Chairman of Sappi
Fine Paper North America once his successor has been appointed, in order to
effect a smooth transition.

Wolfgang Pfarl will continue as Chief Executive of Fine Paper Europe and, in
addition to his Sappi Limited Board responsibilities, will drive initiatives
across the Group to develop young, international managers.

Albert Lubbe will continue to head up the South African Fine paper business.
