Invest Durban delivers a world-class Metro based investor support serviceInvest Durban Invest Durban delivers a world-class Metro based investor support serviceInvest Durban was recommended by the Durban City Council and organised private business as the First Stop Shop to stimulate new investment in the Durban metropolis. We act as a partnership between the Metro City Council and the private business sector, offering a free investor advisory service, plus key promotion, facilitation, and aftercare services between all investment stakeholders. Invest Durban delivers a world-class Metro based investor support service, encompassing our four part business mandate, namely investment promotion and marketing; foreign investment identification, attraction and facilitation; FDI aftercare and expansion, plus investment advocacy. Invest Durban works together with organisations such as the Department of Trade & Industry including Invest SA, Trade and Investment KZN (TIKZN), the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the KZN Growth Coalition, and State-Owned Enterprises such as Dube TradePort, the DBSA, IDC, Eskom, ACSA and others. Categories The thrust of Durban’s proposition to attract investors can be put into three broad categories: • Premium Destination; a business and lifestyle environment most conducive to profitable, sustainable, with ample land available • Catalytic Projects, which have the potential to shift the socio-economic landscape and trigger a series of investments across several sectors • Priority Sectors, which receive the focus of planners in a variety of ways, including the creation of clusters and the development of value chains to promote new ventures and investment opportunities. Catalytic Projects Durban is working on a number of large-scale projects that have the potential to make a regional impact. The location of these projects is vital. They must either be on national trade routes or they should help to break down the old apartheid living/working dynamics. Projects are selected for their scale in terms of job creation, investment size and potential revenue creation. Ideally, the projects should include a combination of uses (retail, commercial and housing, for example) and they should fit in with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. The Point Waterfront Development, for example, fits very well into the category of a catalytic project. Some projections put the potential investment value at R40-billion and the number of permanent jobs to be created at 6 750. It is an ambitious plan that is already linking the city’s beach promenade and the harbour. The Point Waterfront Development offers a property use mix of office space, retail shops, residential dwellings and leisure options. The 55 ha site has already seen significant investment. The new cruise line terminal in the harbour, backing on to the Point, dovetails well with the new atmosphere of the precinct. Other major projects, amongst others, include the: • GO!Durban Transport Oriented Development, which has already received major road upgrades and will be an even greater enabler of trade • Centrum Government Precinct which would formalise the relationship between buildings such as the International Convention Centre (and extensions) and a related hotel, the library, council chambers and the redevelopment of Gugu Dlamini Park • Cornubia integrated human settlement development north of Durban, on 1 300 ha, a partnership between Tongaat Hulett Development, the human settlement departments at national and provincial level and eThekwini municipality • Dube TradePort, the multi-modal facility at King Shaka International Airport Cluster Initiatives Durban has a very diverse economic landscape, within which there are some large-scale enterprises. Cooperation between the public and private sectors is formalised by the large number of cluster initiatives which aim to draw to together experience and expertise from commerce and industry, labour organisations, government and academia. Under manufacturing, the following clusters or programmes are active: • KZN Clothing and Textile Cluster (KZN CTC) • Durban Automotive Cluster (DAC) • Durban Chemical Cluster (DCC) • eThekwini Maritime Cluster (EMC) • KZN Furniture Incubator • Agro-processing development programmes Research aims to find out how best to grow particular economic sectors, and in-depth discussions are held about how to develop and grow value chains. The wealth of KwaZulu-Natal is mostly consumed or exported in its raw state - much more could be done to add value through processing. The priority sectors are: • Automotive and allied industries • Logistics and logistics management • ICT and BPS (Information & communication’s technology, plus business process services) • Agri-processing • Life sciences (including pharmaceuticals, medical device manufacturing, plus health facilities) • Tourism asset development Some of these initiatives play to the existing strengths of the regional economy, some seek to exploit newer avenues as in the emphasis on the environment and a growing interest in the oceans’ economy. A variety of projects link tourism, renewable energy generation, recycling and job creation. There are various other broader programmes which have their own goals, but there will be positive spin- offs for the targeted sectors. These schemes include the drive to increase local content, boosting metal fabrication across sectors, the promotion of black industrialists, promoting exports and the over- arching eThekwini Industrial Development Policy Action Plan.

Hannah Grace is a proudly South African online business that serves expectant and new mothers of South Africa with maternity and breastfeeding friendly clothingHannah Grace Hannah Grace is a proudly South African online business that serves expectant and new mothers of South Africa with maternity and breastfeeding friendly clothingHannah Grace is a proudly South African online business that serves expectant and new mothers of South Africa with maternity and breastfeeding friendly clothing. The company was established in 2014 and is based in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. Lyndall Moodley, the company founder, is a marketing and business information systems honours graduate and also a mother of four children. She was inspired to start Hannah Grace based on her own experience and perceived lack of innovation and diversity in maternity wear available in South Africa. She commented, “Hannah in the Bible was a woman who yearned to have a baby of her own and was driven by faith to dare believe she would have one. My journey has been founded in a similar faith and what started as a goal to own my time, has grown into a vision to build a legacy for my children, employees and their children.” Lyndall is an active participant in the day-to-day operational activities of the business. This involvement, she says, “Allows for a hands-on approach to managing the operations of the business to observe areas of strength and weakness, and we can therefore adjust operational activities accordingly.” In-house Operations The company initially focused on designing its clothing range, with manufacturing fulfilled by a third party Cut Make and Trim (CMT) in the Durban area. At inception, the company serviced 28 Kids Emporium Stores nationally on consignment. In 2016 a website was developed on a WIX (self-build) website platform. By 2017 the company employed its first operations manager to manage the despatch and manufacture of the stock required. Hannah Grace then listed on Takealot and Zando. In 2019 the WIX platform could not sustain the website traffic and the company’s first contracted web developer was brought on board. In addition, the company took the opportunity to rebrand and develop a new logo. In 2020 instability in its supply chain, as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, resulted in the company moving manufacturing from the third party to its own in-house operations. Although this was a daunting task in the face of the added pressures related to Covid-19, the company invested in securing manufacturing floor space, additional staff and equipment. The first official factory premises were rented in Berea Road with two machinists and production commenced. “Every garment is sampled by myself or a team member before production to make sure that its ideal for both pregnancy and after. If you meet me personally there is a very high possibility that I would be wearing my own garment,” explained Lyndall. Hannah Grace now employs six fulltime factory staff, two contracted staff and three admin staff. The company grew so much that it had to move to its current premises on Station Road (The Design Hub) in 2021. Diversification and Flexibility The move to in-house manufacturing has provided a platform for diversification in the product lines and target market, as well as allowing more flexibility to scale production up or down based on the sporadic nature of online sales. In addition, in-house manufacturing allows for: • Faster turnaround time • Flexibility to meet consumer specific needs in terms of measurements • Lower cost • Better manufacturing control New Growth Opportunities The business now has two capsules, one the e-commerce platforms and two the manufacturing arm. The new capacity also presented new growth opportunities for existing staff who needed to upskill and take on additional responsibilities. The manufacturing capability has allowed Hannah Grace to also take on promotional work. The growth in capacity will also allow the company to stretch into babywear, linen and even men’s wear. Digital Space The online channel provides access to anywhere, anytime shopping through the Hannah Grace website http://www.hannahgrace.co.za, and through e-commerce platforms like Takealot and Zando. “We have also launched our own app available for download on the Istore and Playstore. We are proud to say that we are the first maternity brand to be pioneering the way in this new digital space and we look forward to continuing in pushing the boundaries,” added Lyndall. Hannah Grace currently enjoys 18,000 Facebook followers and 16,2k on Instagram. Social Responsibility Hannah Grace is a member of Embrace… The Movement for Mothers In SA. The company also actively supports the Flourish Brand, which has been established to support disadvantaged black and coloured mothers with antenatal and postnatal support. They do so by sponsoring one mother every six weeks on the Flourish journey. Recognition Hannah Grace was previously chosen as one of 12 finalists in the Threads Business Accelerator powered by Standard Bank and Mercedes Benz. Lyndall was chosen by EMBRACE as a Mamandlela Fellow – representing leadership amongst mothers and promoting social entrepreneurship in the KZN community.

Currently, the company employs thousands of employees. They are extremely proud to report that 95% of its team comprises previously disadvantaged individualsMangwanani – the African Spa – came into existence in 2002, when Erin Limbert, Mangwanani’s dynamic CEO, first set in motion her dream of creating a retreat where people could experience true head-to-toe indulgence. Coupling the ethos of revitalisation with an African inspiration presented an initial challenge, because of the uniqueness of this concept. However, one of Mangwanani’s primary focuses is to uplift rural women, which ties in with the African spirit that drives Mangwanani. More than just employing rural women, Mangwanani also uplifts communities by providing on the job training to produce some of the finest qualified therapists available. These women are able to completely change their lives with a ‘hand up’ instead of a ‘hand out’. The premise is that ‘when you educate women, you educate a nation’.

Shamla and her team have more than 25 years of experience, with Shamla dominating the legal fraternity in the last 25 yearsShamla Pather Attorneys Shamla and her team have more than 25 years of experience, with Shamla dominating the legal fraternity in the last 25 yearsShamla Pather Attorneys Inc. is a specialist legal practice, whose dynamic and hardworking founder created her brand based on her personal circumstances, feminine touch and passion for excellence. Shamla and her team have more than 25 years of experience, with Shamla dominating the legal fraternity in the last 25 years. Shamla completed her BProc degree in 1994, at the then University of Durban Westville. She was admitted as an attorney in January 1998, and received a Certificate of Outstanding Performance from the School of Legal Practice. Shamla is also a member of the very prestigious International Bar Association which is an affiliation of more than 10 000 players globally. Shamla has been invited to attend conferences in lndia, Australia, Washington and London. She has been the recipient of many awards, including Top Achiever in KZN, Business Woman of the Year, and most recently she has been nominated as Best Law Firm in KZN. Shamla has spoken at conferences both locally and abroad and is a member of many local organisations. Shamla was a keen athlete at school who focused more on athletics than school at the time. She learned at a tender age that hard work, training and dedication is key to success. She apparently still uses an athlete’s focus to give her foresight, strength and endurance. “The start of any problem for me is like a fast sprint race. I have done my preparation and training and I am ready. My team are with me and all we have to focus on is the last 50 metres. I know that with confidence and our natural legal endurance, we will succeed.” The Team Shamla has handpicked her team and has offered dedicated teaching which enables them to work at optimum level. She has consultants who have pooled in their knowledge and resources to the team, and they have been in practice in excess of 45 years. It is rather fulfilling to see these senior legal practitioners taking their lead from Shamla, given her innovative and spirited practice. The team are intuitive to changes in the law and the different legal experiences and techniques that are required. Shamla encourages forward thinking, and she invests in research in the form of technology and communication, useful software and a variety of technology and methodologies for prompt streamline services. Some clients have specific requirements in order to achieve their objectives and the practice invests in this without reservation. They treat their clients like family, taking a vested interest in their matters and their issues. ‘Actions Speak Louder than Words’ is what drives this firm constantly. Together with a team that is dedicated, has the utmost integrity, and thrives on a high level of functionality and professionalism, the team is undeterred of meeting every challenge. What you see is what you get. The Firm’s Services The firm has been exposed to work in practically every province in South Africa, and has already made footprints in Europe, Asia and North America. The team is driven on excellence and making the law applicable and available. They provide sound legal advice and solutions to problems. “We make the law work for you,” says Shamla. “However, we are dependable and will not undertake a matter if we are unable to deliver the desired results. We think of everything to give the matter the best possible perspectives to ensure that we are prepared to represent you, the client, at the highest level.” Services include: • Commercial Law (Incorporating Corporate, Insolvency, Insurance and Contract Law) • Estate Law (Deceased Estates) • Litigation (Civil and Criminal) • Administrative Law (Incorporating Media, Constitutional and Procurement Law) • Conveyancing and Property Law. The firm employs a senior conveyancer and paralegal with a conveyancer being admitted in excess of 30 years. • Labour Law • Corporate Governance Law, Company Law, Risk and Compliance Social Upliftment Social upliftment is the reason Shamla is in practice. She works hard but never fails to pay it forward. She is a patron to many charitable institutions and contributes both financially and with physical labour. She has roped in many individuals and businesses in her charity drives so as to create awareness and to ensure that the programmes are fulfilled. In evaluating what Shamla has accomplished so far, she is content as she has uplifted countless individuals and institutions over the years. She is a champion of the downtrodden and spends many hours counselling those who need assistance. She has embraced many students into the firm, especially those who have had social difficulties and needed nurturing. Shamla has a student volunteer programme and makes sure she employs students every year. She has always maintained that the most rewarding feeling, and better than winning any case, is when you have touched someone’s life and made a difference. Shamla has also done numerous pro bona matters and has given talks on behalf of probono.org.Full Name of Company: Shamla Pather Attorneys Incorporated Nature of Business: Law Firm Services / Products: Legal Services Date Established: 1 April 2019 Customer Base: High net worth clients No. of Employees :11 B-BBEE Status: Level 1 VISION We are a team that is driven on excellence and making the law applicable and available.

B-Active Events is the name behind many popular sporting events across South Africa B-Active Sports B-Active Events is the name behind many popular sporting events across South Africa B-Active Events is the name behind many popular sporting events across South Africa and this event management company is a formidable player in the public sports industry in South Africa. From relatively modest beginnings, the company has grown dramatically. Founded in 2004 by Damian Bradley, the first B-Active event was the 2005 Belgotex Cycle Race in Pietermaritzburg. B-Active Events now owns and manages several national public sporting events, including the Ultra Tri Series, the TinMan Series, Umngazi Pondo Pedal & Run Stage Race, and the Quest South Africa Series. They also own and manage a few regional expos which attract retailers and customers from around South Africa. B-Active works with major corporate sponsors and local municipal departments to stage these events and expos. The company has been actively involved in almost every major public sporting event in South Africa, with an enviable list of premier sporting events across a wide range of sporting codes, where they manage sponsorship contracts and logistics for specific areas of the events. These include: • Tour Durban Cycle Race • Ironman 70.3 • 94.7 Cycle Challenge • Cape Town Cycle Tour • 5FM Energade Tri-Series • East Coast Radio/Discovery Big Walk • Amashova Cycle Race • Comrades Marathon • Spar Ladies Race • Challenge Cape Town Professional Approach The sporting events market is dynamic and constant change and rapid growth offers great opportunities. But it also demands ongoing innovation and product redesign to stay ahead. B-Active believes their success is based on the right mix of tradition and new ideas. As Damian Bradley points out, “Because our work is fused with our passion, we can’t help but really enjoy what we do. This passion for our industry shows in our attention to detail in planning for each and every event. Being an athlete, I know what competitors look for in an event and what they need pre, during and post events. This insight assists us with our event planning and decisions, to give our competitors what they need and when they need it.” For B-Active Events, a professional approach to sports management is essential to their success. This drives all facets of the business, from delivering seamless, well-managed events, to valuable brand exposure for sponsors, and even legal compliance, as all sporting events must comply with the new Sports Safety Act. The development of new events and growth of existing events are key objectives for the business and demand effective marketing. Growth, however, adds complexity, and first-rate logistical planning and execution are therefore essential to the company’s success. Participant experience is critical to the sustainability of each event – and the growth of B-Active Sports – so a well-run event is not negotiable. This a core competence for B-Active Events, with significant experience across various sporting codes. Delivering Branding Opportunities B-Active Events also supports clients with strategic planning for branding opportunities and promotional requirements. The company has grown to including event branding teams and supplying and managing corporate branding materials on behalf of their clients. Services include: • Event concept and origination • Event management • Event logistics • Branding management • Sponsorship activation • Brand activations • Online entry systems • Registration solutions • Design and supply of branded collateral • Storage and return of branded items • Stand design and supply • Expo activations • Personalised race support crew Shop B-Active recently launched the race apparel (and other) brand I AM ACTIVE which is an extension of its passion for events and adds another dimension to the business. www.iamactive.co.za Part of the Community B-Active Sports has a strong community spirit and aligns with local charities and schools for their events, usually looking to support local school trusts and Rotary charities, but the company has a particular loyalty to CHOC, the Childhood Cancer Foundation, and have supported them frequently over the years. “We look forward to bringing your brand to life or giving you an outstanding experience at one of our events,” says Bradley.Full Name of Company: B-Active Events Nature of Business: Sports Marketing Services/Products: Event & Sponsorship Management Date Established: 1/11/2004 Customer Base: General public Bankers: FNB VISION To build interesting and beneficial sporting events around South Africa for the public to participate in MISSION To create exciting and quality events for the public of South Africa KEY PERSONNEL CEO: Damian Bradley CONTACT DETAILS HEAD OFFICE Physical Address: 8 Sandy Lane, Everton, Kloof, 3640 Tel: +27 (0)67 198 6737 E-mail: info@bactive.com Website: www.bactive.comDAMIAN BRADLEY has always been an entrepreneur. As a schoolboy at boarding school, he earned money cutting hair and running an after-hours tuck shop, so it was no surprise that he opted to start his own business at only 26 years of age. Never one to settle in his comfort zone, after school, Bradley opted to study business management at what is now the Durban University of Technology. Then, in 1995, when South Africa was riding the crest of the Rugby World Cup wave, he was inspired to do a course in sports management for business. After this, he went on to study marketing. After finishing his studies in Cape Town, Bradley decided it was time to travel. When he needed to earn a living in the United Kingdom, he found a position at a law firm. Not exactly what he'd planned as a career move, but he stayed there for two years before returning to Durban to take up a corporate regional marketing position. This rich and varied experience has stood him in good stead in running a sports management company. And in 2004, when he found himself retrenched after a corporate restructure, Bradley decided it was time to start B-Active Sports, with a plan for a single sporting event as his starting point. Before long, Bradley had grown his portfolio to running 20 small events a year, but he realised that it made better business sense to focus on the more successful events, with potential to grow. Building on these allowed him to build on economies of scale, growing his priority events in terms of participants, profitability and reputation. A pivotal point in the growth of B-Active Sports was in 2011, when the company secured its first major corporate sponsorship. This not only provided a new revenue stream, but also opened the door for future growth. But while this marks a career highlight, Bradley gets a great sense of accomplishment from watching competitors in his events grow in skill and competitiveness over time, with several having started as novices and growing into international, professional athletes. As Bradley points out, he and his team have managed to combine their work with their passion, so it's easy to love their jobs and deliver with commitment and dedication. Bradley's focus is on his clients, the athletes they serve, and his team. Damian's leadership style is collaborative. Teamwork is important to him and while recognising his role in creating the company vision and the energy to make it happen, he believes in leading from beside his colleagues. "B-Active Sports is a small company. My goal is to grow the team in terms of confidence and competence. I ensure my staff feel secure in their jobs, but at the same time I keep pushing them to develop themselves. I believe this gives them a powerful sense of purpose and job satisfaction. And that's good for them - and for the business." "Right now, I see potential in events outside of our traditional area of strength, and we'll be looking to expand into new areas." Unsurprisingly, Bradley is a keen sportsman. Before starting B-Active sports, he had been a committed athlete for eight years, competing in triathlon events at national level. This formed his approach to his events. "My own experience as a competitor has always given me the drive and insight to create events from an athlete's perspective. It guides my decisions on the right events to stage, and the various avenues to pursue in my business." While no longer competing at national level, he is still very active with a great love of surfing, mountain biking and road and trail running. Bradley is also a dedicated father of two (his seven year-old daughter and five year-old son), and rates getting married ten years ago as one of the best decisions he's ever made.
