Rakharebe said, “I believe our continued success is a result of a concerted effort between our staff, our strategic partners in the City and Province and the loyal support of our clients.

Rakharebe commented, “I would like to see meaningful enterprise development for SMMEs taking place at a grass-roots level.

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.

We are an open institution, welcoming in students from all industries and backgrounds. TWIMS’ world-class facilities and staff place it at the centre of a manufacturing community dedicated to value creation and societal transformation. The TWIMS campus is part 21st century build and associated technology, and part refurbished historical grandeur. Situated on a tranquil corner of our campus, TWIMS offers students quality, affordable accommodation, and sumptuous breakfasts in a pristine park-like environment. The staff are passionate individuals dedicated to delivering a world class experience to you. We provide formal academic courses through our partnership with Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS), as well as a range of non-academic executive short courses. The GIBS Manufacturing Focused MBA This specialised MBA is Africa’s first and only to focus on the manufacturing industry. The two-year programme is comprised of a PGDip and MBA. Students who received 60% and above for the PGDip year graduate to the MBA, which comprises three core sections: 1. In-class electives 2. The Global Module 3. Research Our electives are manufacturing-specific and cover some of the most relevant topics in today’s manufacturing environment. Current MBA electives: • Future of Manufacturing • Sustainable Finance • Green Manufacturing • Inclusive Leadership • Africa Trade • Lean Supply Chain Management • Lean Operations Management The global module sees students embark on a group overseas excursion to learn how global manufacturers are tackling pertinent issues. Our partnerships with manufacturers in Asia, Africa and Europe offer students an opportunity to learn from some of the most well- respected and diverse manufacturers globally. Manufacturing Ambassador Scholarship TWIMS is acutely aware of the complex operating environment facing South African based manufacturers and acknowledges that many deserving individuals are unable to pursue the GIBS MBA (manufacturing focus) due to financial constraints. In response to this challenge, TWIMS is honoured to announce that it is now able to offer such individuals the opportunity to apply for the Manufacturing Ambassador Scholarship. As the result of a generous endowment from the Toyota South Africa Educational Trust, TWIMS will be able to fund up to 15 Manufacturing Ambassador scholarships annually. The scholarship covers 50% of tuition, textbooks, and all residency costs at TWIMS during block-release and exam periods in the PGDip year, and 70% in the MBA year. 70% of the cost of the compulsory global module is also covered. TWIMS EXECUTIVE SHORT COURSES TWIMS has developed a range of manufacturing short courses to support leadership development; the pinnacle of which are seven Executive Short Courses (ESCs) focusing on Future Manufacturing, Green Manufacturing, Lean Operations Management, Learn Supply Chain Management, Women as Manufacturing Leaders, African Industrialisation and Sustainable Finance. Future Manufacturing The Future of Manufacturing course focuses on applying a range of strategic tools to interrogate and engage with potentially highly disruptive market, social and technology forces that are re-framing the manufacturing sector’s development trajectory. Sustainable Finance The Sustainable Finance Executive Short Course explores the role of sustainable finance in transitioning organisations to becoming resilient operations. This course adds to the sustainability discourse by examining theories around investment principles, ESG, finance metrics and shareholder return timeframes. Green Manufacturing The Green Manufacturing Executive Short Course considers the pertinent issues surrounding the green economy debate and why they are critical to the manufacturing sector. Lean Operations Management The course starts with a review of the attributes of lean leadership. The underlying culture and value systems imbued within lean operations management are explored, followed by an exploration of lean execution case studies and examples from across the globe. Women as Manufacturing Leaders Manufacturing battles to attract and retain women in leadership positions. With advanced technology changing the future skills set required in the industry, manufacturers need to tap the largest talent pool possible. Research has shown that women in leadership positions can provide greater diversity of perspectives, innovation, and a more balanced approach to management. African Industrialisation The course explores the key role of African trade and industrial development for the future of South African based manufacturers; and prepares course participants to take advantage of emerging regional opportunities through the application of a selection of strategic approaches to African expansion. Lean Supply Chain Management The Lean Supply Chain Management course focuses on the leadership and operations management challenges of extending lean manufacturing capabilities through supply chains. TWIMS MASTERCLASSES New to the TWIMS curriculum, the TWIMS Master classes have been developed as the apex of our executive short courses.

The close proximity to King Shaka International Airport and Dube TradePort also connects the district directly to both national and international markets,” said Linda Mncube, Chief Executive Officer at Enterprise iLembe Development Agency. The iLembe District municipality covers approximately 3 260 square kilometres and is divided into four local municipalities. • KwaDukuza Local Municipality • Ndwedwe Local Municipality • Mandeni Local Municipality • Maphumulo Local Municipality Economic Sectors Notwithstanding the third wave of Covid-19 infections and the recent unrest in KwaZulu-Natal, Enterprise iLembe is upbeat about its potential to draw significant economic investment into the iLembe District region. The iLembe District is well-known as a fast-developing premier lifestyle destination and as the home of innovative entrepreneurs and start-ups in tourism, agriculture, property, construction, manufacturing sectors. Renewable energy is an emerging sector that is showing great promise. The District has seen the emergence of new economic drivers in the information and communications technology sector, which creates further opportunities for inclusive growth and job creation. “We have an instrumental role in ensuring businesses and citizens of iLembe have greater access to the opportunities presented by digital technologies, especially in a global economy that is becoming increasingly digital,” commented Mncube. “We are mindful that we also have an instrumental role in ensuring businesses and citizens of iLembe have greater access to the opportunities presented by all sectors, including tourism. We will, therefore, need to find ways to grow the tourism sector in a manner that creates business and employment opportunities across the district with future projects such as the KwaShuShu Hotspring project in Maphumulo, the Nokukhanya Luthuli Street in KwaDukuza and the Sibudu Caves project in Ndwedwe,” Mncube said. He said potential travellers are urged to explore the exquisite and tranquil KZN North Coast with fun and affordable things to do. “Visitors can explore different traditional cultural experiences, animal and reptile farms, nature reserves, walking paths, beach walks and scuba diving, as well as museums, art galleries and art and craft markets.” Business Incubator Facility Enterprise iLembe has a Business Incubator Facility aimed at providing assistance for the start-up and growth stages of entrepreneurs or SMMEs in the district, assisting them with access to technical and business-related skills, necessary for the business growth process. The incubation project has the potential to enhance the viability of small businesses and strengthen local economic development, including youth focused projects that have the potential to reduce unemployment in the iLembe District. “It is essentially the one-stop shop for all business-related information, ensuring compliance with all necessary regulations and facilitating access to funding for SMMEs within the district,” said Mncube. Partnerships Mncube said Enterprise iLembe is grateful to the various sector departments as well as the iLembe family of municipalities for the support received to make the investor experience a seamless and hassle free one. “Enterprise iLembe has the critical mandate of driving and facilitating economic development and growth in the iLembe District. This mandate cannot be executed in isolation and it is, therefore, important that partnerships are developed and maintained with all players, including local municipalities, the private sector, government departments, the local community and international organisations. “We welcome local, national and international support to our iLembe District and look forward to building more collaborative partnerships with other business investors to sustain economic growth and to create business and employment opportunities,” said Mncube.Full Name of Company: iLembe Management Development Agency T/A Enterprise iLembe Nature of Business: Economic Development Agency Date Established: 2006 No. of Employees: 27 VISION To be a leading economic development agency that enables the iLembe district to be a destination of choice for investment, business and tourism.
