Founded by Heather Flack, Flair Accounting has stood out in the industry for 21 years by diverging from the traditional model, placing a firm emphasis on genuine client relationships and financial empowerment. Heather Flack’s journey began at just 17 when she started her articles in accounting. It didn’t take long for her to recognise the powerful insights that financial data could reveal about a business’s health. However, she also realised that traditional practices often prioritise profit over people, with hefty fees that restricted in-depth, personalised service to a select few. Driven by her passion for South Africa and a vision of accessible, high-quality financial support, Heather set out on a journey to do things differently. Heather’s hands-on experience in the private sector equipped her with operational insight, giving her a unique edge when she launched HW Accounting Services in 2003, now known as Flair Accounting. Over the past two decades, Heather has grown immensely as a leader, bringing her vision of genuine, relationship-driven accounting to life. In 2022, Flair Accounting earned recognition from Standard Bank as one of South Africa’s Top Gender Empowered Companies in the financial sector, a testament to Heather’s commitment to empowerment and inclusivity.

The team shares a people-first philosophy, approaching each client relationship with empathy and dedication. Led by Practice Leader Uveshca Ramkubare, who plays an essential role in steering the team, Flair has developed a close-knit culture.

Heather’s vision for the future is to grow the business even more to be able to reach and serve more business owners, to achieve her dream. Which is to never lose sight of Flair Accounting’s “Why” and to continue to serve with purpose. Heather says, “As we grow, we too employ more people and support more families in our beautiful beloved country.” A Heartfelt Message from Heather “To our incredible clients who have trusted us for over 20 years, and to the remarkable women I’ve had the honour of working with: thank you for believing in my dream and for dedicating yourselves to a shared vision. The success we celebrate today is as much yours as it is mine.

Illovo Sugar Africa (Pty) Ltd is a Pan-African consumer centric agri-business with roots in growing and making sugar and related productsIllovo Sugar (South Africa) Illovo Sugar Africa (Pty) Ltd is a Pan-African consumer centric agri-business with roots in growing and making sugar and related productsIllovo Sugar Africa (Pty) Ltd is a Pan-African consumer centric agri-business with roots in growing and making sugar and related products. It is Africa’s largest sugar producer and has extensive agricultural operations in six southern African countries – eSwatini, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, and Zambia. Sugar and downstream products are manufactured from cane supplied by its own agricultural operations and independent growers. The group is a wholly owned subsidiary of Associated British Foods plc (ABF), a diversified international food, ingredients and retail group operating in more than 50 countries. ILLOVO SUGAR (SOUTH AFRICA) Illovo Sugar (South Africa) (Illovo SA) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Illovo Group, with its operations including the cultivation of sugar cane and production of raw, brown, and refined sugar, syrup, together with the downstream products of furfural and its derivatives, ethyl alcohol and lactulose. Illovo’s first presence was recognised in KwaZulu-Natal in 1891. Illovo SA today is an invested, long-term contributor to South Africa’s economy, committed to partnering for the continuing transformation of its agricultural and sugar production sectors. The company annually produces more than 550 000 tons of raw and refined sugar from 4.8 million tons of sugar cane cultivated by independent growers, together with a small tonnage of cane produced by Illovo’s own agricultural operations. Land holdings in South Africa have been strategically reduced from the mid-90s to make way for the growth and development of Black smallholder cane growers within Illovo SA’s cane supply areas. Illovo SA sugar markets are largely domestic, with sales into the world raw sugar market. Downstream products are primarily export focused. The company also operates a state of-the-art sugar warehouse and distribution centre providing a strategic link between its sugar factories in KwaZulu-Natal and its nationally based customers. There are six sugar producers in South Africa with combined production of under two million tons. Technology While using technology to connect with Illovo SA’s grower base has been one of the biggest growth areas over the past ten years, it accelerated during the coronavirus pandemic. A significant shift in the ‘ways of work’ has been a move from the in-person interactions to more consistently online or digital forms of communication. Many growers have missed the physical conversation and face-to- face engagement. However, the good news is that Illovo has been able to fast track the adoption of digitalisation and technology amongst its grower base, which would possibly have taken longer had the global pandemic not occurred. Shared Value Illovo SA prides itself on its positive contributory role in the sugar industry creating meaningful rural employment opportunities in KwaZulu Natal. Illovo SA has been instrumental in creating sustainable formal employment opportunities; as well as creating platforms to support and enable businesses in the cane growing community in rural KwaZulu-Natal. The business is playing its part in building rural economies and entrepreneurs. Faced by limited opportunities in remote, rural areas, cane cultivation alongside nearby sugar mills offers private farmers the prospect of creating sustainable livelihoods for themselves and employment for others. Illovo SA prioritise new cane developments through inclusive growth models and shared value in its supply chain to bring mutual benefit to both business and society. Partnering with local farmers, transporters, contractors and other small, medium and micro-sized enterprises in the supply chain brings about multiplied socio-economic benefits to the communities in which the company operates. CSI initiatives Illovo SA aims to build thriving communities within the communities in which it operates through various CSI initiatives. The group lives its shared value mandate to foster thriving South African communities and key to its success is in the continued efforts in partnering with government, engaging with stakeholders, communities, and consumers to understand societal challenges. Illovo SA is committed to creating an environment in which both its business and the communities that host its operations thrive through its presence and the operations there. They actively engage with local and regional leaders to identify and implement CSI projects that address select vulnerabilities within the communities.Full Name of Company: Illovo Sugar South Africa (Pty) Ltd Industry Sector: Agriculture Nature of Business: Four agricultural estates; three sugar factories; one refinery; three wholly owned downstream plants, 50% share in a distillery; 30% investment in a further sugar factory and refinery Date Established: 1891 Products: • Raw, brown and refined sugar, syrup, and downstream products • Internal electricity generation from renewable resources No. of Employees: 2 900 permanent and non-permanent people Name of Account / Auditor: Ernst & Young Bank: Standard Bank KEY PERSONNEL Group Managing Director: Gavin Dalgleish Managing Director (Illovo Sugar SA): Ricky Govender Marketing Director: Mduduzi Nkala Financial Manager: Melissa Naidoo CONTACT DETAILS Physical Address: 1 Nokwe Avenue, Ridgeside, Umhlanga Ridge – Umhlanga 4001 Postal Address: P.O.

New digital technologies are merging with human physical lives and totally transforming how everyday activities are performed and the skills required to navigate this new world of 4IR. Digital skills are becoming a critical success factor across all spheres of life.

The programme targets 150 learners annually in foundation, intermediate and senior phase. Ithala Edu Platform The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent national lockdown resulted in school learners losing substantial tutoring in their school academic years since 2020. Some schools and learners with access to technology and resources were able to follow online and intermittent schooling during lock- down periods. However, many learners from disadvantaged back- grounds and areas were left behind and needed assistance to catch-up. The Ithala Education Trust responded to this need by introducing the online Ithala Education Platform to assist learners. The online tutoring is delivered in partnership with the GoDigitalSA Foundation – the development and implementation partner in this programme. The Platform contributes to assisting Grade 12 learners with their examination results, their wellness, and their career choices. The tutoring covers Accounting, English (First Additional Language), Computer Applications Tech- nology, Geography, isiZulu (Home Language), Mathematics, Physical Science – and the added value of Wellness, Career Guidance, and Digital and Financial Literacy. The programme was enhanced in 2021 to include the Advanced Pillar of Digital Literacy and Financial Literacy. Media partners like Sajonisi Radio, VoiceFM, and Anchor FM enable the broadcasting of revision tutoring on the seven subjects. This online Platform is now called the Ithala Edu Platform.
