No, you do not have to be.

to be honest im yet to fully grasp rights issues. So if i buy rights off the market im assuming i'll buy them at a premium. But this might still be cheaper than buying the share off the market. My question is. If one is not a current shareholder, is there any benefit in buying some shares and exercising your rights when you can just buy the rights of the market?

According to the MD, joseph Njoroge, the conversion of shares from pref to ordinary, the stock spli and the rights issue will all be done concurrently.
It will be interesting to see how that goes. For instance, are they going to price the rights using pre split or post split prices?

When we talk of buying the rights, whether on or off the market, we are talking about a fee that you pay so that you get to the same level as the existing shareholders. To put it better, it puts you at the same level as the existing shareholder.
The advantage of buying the shares before the books close, on or about 24th nov is that you will not have to buy the rights, you will only pay for the new shares being offered to the existin s/holders at a discount.
You also have an option of buying additional shares!

Im getting a clearer picture. Correct me if im wrong, can one buy the rights before the books close on 25th. I thought one could only buy during the rights issue ie 25th nov-15th dec.

Now at 220 and falling fast......

I told you before two weeks ago. I had sold @ 238. Remaining with 100 shares. I will buy right & invest as much as possible. Now wait for falling up to 200.
True... Seems like it... LOL... I am counting my lost profits!

Two ways in which you can participate in the rights;

1. Existing shareholder, you purchase the rights commensurate to the share ownership that you have in the company. Here often, some shareholders do not take up their rights. There is books closure for this process.
2. Existing or non-shareholders will buy rights that have not been taken up by their shareholders. There is also books closure for this process
