The terminal was opened in 1976 with an original capacity of 12-million tons per annum (mt/a). RBCT is a hub of strategic economic importance in the South African coal industry. The multi-award-winning terminal provides South Africa’s Coal Exporting Parties (CEPs) with a worldclass logistics service that facilitates the export of coal.

RBCT is owned by Anglo Operations, ARM Coal, South32 Coal, Exxaro, Glencore Operations, Kangra Sasol Mining, South Dunes Coal Terminal, South African Coal Mine Holdings, Tumelo Coal Mines and Umcebo Mining, with Optimum Coal and Koornfontein in business rescue. Black women own 5.26% of RBCT, which is a 29.54% black-owned terminal, through which 98% of South Africa’s coal exports pass and to which 68 of South Africa’s coal mines, some further than 1 000 km away, supplied coal in 2019. The four-million tonnes of terminal capacity allocated to junior mining companies is still very far from taken up although this is expected to improve in 2020. RBCT is positioned at one of the world’s deep-sea ports and handles an average of 76 large ships per month and large volumes of coal. The 276-hectare site currently boasts a quay that is 2.2km long with six berths and four ship loaders, with a stockyard capacity of 8.2-million tons. RBCT shares a strong cooperative relationship with South Africa’s national utility, Transnet, which provides the railway services linking the coal mines to the port, and the coordination of all shipping. The terminal received 25 trains a day in 2019, compared with 27 a day in 2018 and has a capacity to receive 32 a day as part of its partnership with Transnet Freight Rail. Eight hundred and eighty six vessels were loaded in 2019, three more than in 2018. The terminal exported 72.15-million tonnes (Mt) of coal in 2019. Asia was again the biggest export destination by far, with India and Pakistan together absorbing 91% of total exports, up on last year’s 81.6%. India, as the biggest single country recipient, imported 41.6 Mt, up on 2018’s 35.29 Mt, followed by Pakistan’s 12.05 Mt (9.37 Mt in 2018). RBCT CEO Alan Waller said the terminal had again set 77 Mt as the coal export target for 2020, the same as in 2019. RBCT’s export record of 76.47 Mt was set in 2017. The recent equipment replacement programme has been highly successful, with the first phase’s brand new stacker reclaimers and shiploaders underpinning turnaround time consistency. The two rail-mounted stacker reclaimers operate at a rate of 6 000 t/h and the two rail-mounted shiploaders at a rate of 10 000 t/h. The stackers allocate the coal to 91 stockpiles and reclaimers extract 42 different grades of coal from the stockpiles. The shiploaders then load the coal on to waiting vessels. RBCT’s location in the uMhlathuze area has brought significant benefits to the region since the terminal’s opening. In view of the long-term nature of the coal exporting business, RBCT sees it as imperative that it contributes to the development of the region and its people. RBCT’s slogan, “coal to the world, growth to the nation” fits in well with its sustainable community development initiatives. RBCT participates in a number of social and economic development initiatives aligned with the company’s overall growth strategy. These programmes aim to promote the development and self-sufficiency of local communities within uMhlathuze Municipality, in order to contribute to the creation of an environment in which RBCT business can be conducted, with the focus on sustainability. RBCT’s Sustainable Community Development strategy plays a constructive role in enhancing the quality of life in the communities within which it operates.

TSAM strives continuously to improve systems and technologies to deliver the best quality vehicles to customers, vehicles that meet customers; needs and their high expectations of what the Toyota brand epitomisesToyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) TSAM strives continuously to improve systems and technologies to deliver the best quality vehicles to customers, vehicles that meet customers; needs and their high expectations of what the Toyota brand epitomisesToyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) is a key component of South Africa’s automotive manufacturing sector. Toyota has been a well-loved, reliable and trusted brand in South Africa since 1961. The company plays a pivotal role in driving economic growth and creating employment. TSAM is wholly owned by Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) in Japan. As such it is guided by the vision and strategy of its parent company. The company has been the beneficiary of ongoing investment since its manufacturing inception in 1972 when TSAM started operations at Prospecton near Durban. TSAM is committed to South Africa by strategically investing in the people, tools and equipment to produce cars and commercial vehicles of world-class standard. TSAM strives continuously to improve systems and technologies to deliver the best quality vehicles to customers, vehicles that meet customers; needs and their high expectations of what the Toyota brand epitomises. In addition, TSAM is dedicated and committed to supplying parts, accessories and services that meet the requirements of the South African and export markets that it services. The equipment and facilities used for manufacturing vehicles at TSAM forms part of TMC’s global production lines, which are characterised by high levels of industrial automation and robotics, often found in developed manufacturing ecosystems such as Japan, North America and Europe. Furthermore, TSAM has followed global trends concerning the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) and transitioned significant areas of its plant towards more complex and sophisticated digital equipment with the objective of enhancing the plant’s effectiveness and efficiency. TSAM has a fully equipped robotics and automation training facility in Durban. This facility will train technicians in the maintenance of complex manufacturing equipment, such as welding and spray-painting robots. Value Chain TSAM imports over 22 models from its global Toyota affiliates, and all Lexus models are imported from manufacturing plants in Japan. They also export vehicles to 75 countries throughout Africa, Europe and Latin America and its vehicles are distributed regionally through a network of independently owned and run dealerships in South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland. These include full dealership and satellite services. Toyota collaborates with its value chain partners to ensure that its vehicles stay true to the Toyota, Lexus and Hino brands. This enables them to ensure that all components meet high quality standards and are delivered on time and in full. The dealer network is critical in delivering on their customer-first promise. Therefore, TSAM believes that a large part of its success is attributed to the way its value chain collaborates and engages to form an integrated ecosystem – from parts suppliers to manufacturing, sales, its dealer network and its valued customers or guests. Employees TSAM’s employees are the custodians of the Toyota Way. They support continuous improvement through training and development, providing on-site, hands on experience (Genchi Genbutsu) and taking each challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow. Training is the key to the success of TSAM and is therefore all-encompassing; from assembly-line team members to dealer personnel. This does not only involve skills transfer, but also extends to ‘imbibing’ the Toyota culture of a caring company, transformation in the work place and development of a well-trained, integrated supply chain. TSAM is fostering a working environment based on the culture of Mendomi, which means that they take care of employees like they would take care of their own family. Social Programmes TSAM cares for all members of society and aims to make it a better place. They commit time and resources to developing all South Africans by empowering and uplifting local communities through impactful and measurable social programmes. The social contribution activities are aligned with TMC’s Global Vision of contributing to the sustainable advancement of the societies in which it operates. The corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme was established in 1972 by Dr Albert Wessels with a focus to offer training and support to communities closest to their production plant and offices. TSAM is committed to build a better future for our children, communities and country. CSR has four pillars that are focused on, namely education; road safety; civic and community service; and health and human service. They believe that focusing on these four pillars will make a positive, sustainable and long-term difference to their business, communities and the SA economy. TSAM is represented in communities through the TSA Foundation, its CSR department, employee involvement and in-kind donations. They aim to support the communities that are within a 50km radius of their operations. This ensures localised, focused and impactful initiatives are addressed to target specific needs of the societies in which they operate.Full Name of Company: Toyota South Africa Motors (Pty) Ltd Nature of Business: Manufacturing Services / Products: Motor Vehicles Date Established: 1961 No. of Employees 7845 (June 2021) Bank: Standard Bank KEY PERSONNEL CEO: Andrew Kirby Managing Director: Nigel Ward Marketing Director: Leon Theron Financial Manager: Bronwyn Kilpatrick CONTACT DETAILS Physical Address: 15 Prospecton Road, Durban, 4001 Postal Address: P.O Box 26070, Isipingo Beach, 4115 Tel: +27 (0)31 910 2911 +27 (0)31 910 2992 E-mail: mmkize@toyota.co.za Website: www.toyota.co.zaFull Name of Company: Toyota South Africa Motors (Pty) Ltd Nature of Business: Manufacturing Services / Products: Motor Vehicles Date Established: 1961 No. of Employees 7845 (June 2021) Bank: Standard Bank KEY PERSONNEL CEO: Andrew Kirby Managing Director: Nigel Ward Marketing Director: Leon Theron Financial Manager: Bronwyn Kilpatrick CONTACT DETAILS Physical Address: 15 Prospecton Road, Durban, 4001 Postal Address: P.O Box 26070, Isipingo Beach, 4115 Tel: +27 (0)31 910 2911 +27 (0)31 910 2992 E-mail: mmkize@toyota.co.za Website: www.toyota.co.za Up Back to Top Business Leaders Home Add Your Business Up Home About Us KZN Business Chambers Rewards Partners Editors NOTE KZN Top Business - Publishers notes - KZN Top Business Leaders - Launch 2024 Menu KZN Business Leaders Business Women Fyonn Kane Collection 2019 2022 Supertech Collection Top Business Women 2024 VIP Invite Awards Nominate TBW 2024 KZN Business Gurus News Bookshelf Shop On-line Events Contact The Team Top Business Portfolio Full Name of Company: Toyota South Africa Motors (Pty) Ltd Nature of Business: Manufacturing Services / Products: Motor Vehicles Date Established: 1961 No. of Employees 7845 (June 2021) Bank: Standard Bank KEY PERSONNEL CEO: Andrew Kirby Managing Director: Nigel Ward Marketing Director: Leon Theron Financial Manager: Bronwyn Kilpatrick CONTACT DETAILS Physical Address: 15 Prospecton Road, Durban, 4001 Postal Address: P.O Box 26070, Isipingo Beach, 4115 Tel: +27 (0)31 910 2911 +27 (0)31 910 2992 E-mail: mmkize@toyota.co.za Website: www.toyota.co.za Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) is a key component of South Africa’s automotive manufacturing sector.

Head Client Coverage, Business Clients, KZN: Hameed NoormahomedJAMES GREGORY is the co-founder and CEO of Wozani Berg Gasoline. He worked for a petroleum company for ten years before buying a trade store in Creighton in the KZN Midlands. Although successful as a trader, he did not want to be stuck in a small town, isolated from the world. In 1996, he obtained a tender for fuel distribution and sales and started Berg Gasoline in partnership with his wife Michelle. Phenomenal growth followed resulting from long term relationships and a good reputation. Trust was paramount with business often based on only a handshake. In 2004, a Black Empowerment deal was struck with Wozani Holdings. Berg Gasoline became Wozani Berg Gasoline (WBG). In 2011, Wozani bought James and Michelle out and they left a thriving business. However, during 2013 the business crashed, prompting James and Michelle to take back the management of a then-troubled company. Many challenges had to then be overcome, and changes made on the route to success. "Some major downs along with the ups," says James. "When you have a kick me down, you must get up again. Never give up" he comments. "When there is a failure, you must always look for a solution, make a plan and find a new opportunity." He believes in being open and honest with all concerned, including the bank. He says, "cash flow is like oxygen for business and without it, a business cannot survive. Profits are like food. You can survive a few days without food, but not without oxygen." James explains that it is essential to build a good team. He requires adherence to the operating principles of integrity, accountability, commitment, and taking responsibility for all one's actions. Employees' welfare and safety are important. He believes passionate, responsible, and innovative employees are the building blocks of the company's future. He has a relaxed way with people but admits to sometimes feeling rage when things are wrong, but he gets over it and forgets quickly. Every day offers new ideas, challenges and opportunities for him. "Even bad news and tough times create opportunities. Everybody has tough times. Make a plan!" he says. He believes there is always something to be thankful for and celebrate. Being positive and enthusiastic does not mean James is impulsive. Whenever he does something in the business it is because he gave it a lot of thought. "We wanted to ensure the balance is right. It is not all about money. You need to make some money, have fun, do good, and make a difference," he quips. He says, "WBG is a solutions business. We do more than selling petrol and diesel. We find logistical and credit solutions for our clients and innovate using technology to assist them to keep abreast of the 4th Industrial Revolution." Sustainability in terms of people and the environment are very important for James. He walks his talk. The WBG offices are being turned green through eco-friendly projects and will be taken off the grid. WBG provides skills to people, especially in rural areas, and have started a NGO, Team SA First. James' parents inspired him, and later on, his in-laws too. He has been married to Michelle for 28 years and he credits her for inspiration and balance. They are the proud parents of a son and two daughters. He says their children have shown him an alternative model of the world, which made him more aware of plastic and other environmental problems. They inspire him to live and operate in a sustainable way. In his free time swimming in the sea helps him relax and stay energised, and he loves listening to almost any type of music.

The Ramsi Group celebrates its 41st anniversary in 2021. Over the years, the Group has been through many transformations, faced lots of challenges and has emerged as one of the largest suppliers of sewing machines and spare parts in the countryThe Ramsi GroupThe Ramsi Group celebrates its 41st anniversary in 2021. Over the years, the Group has been through many transformations, faced lots of challenges and has emerged as one of the largest suppliers of sewing machines and spare parts in the countryFounded in 1980 with borrowed capital of R3000, The Ramsi Group celebrates its 41st anniversary in 2021. Over the years, the Group has been through many transformations, faced lots of challenges and has emerged as one of the largest suppliers of sewing machines and spare parts in the country. The dynamic and well-respected company has seen constant growth over the years and turnover has increased more than tenfold in a decade. The Ramsi Group is notably proud of its achievements and is driven by the desire to be the leader in its industry. As such its directors are always on the lookout for innovative products, new markets, and opportunities. The main goal of CEO Sherwin Ramlall and director’s Ram and Shawn Ramlall are to distribute sewing related products that will add value to their current customers and attract new customers. The company supplies over 10 000 spare parts for all sewing machines and has a range of 20 industrial and domestic Saito sewing machines, cutting and steam equipment. The group also distributes its own brand of household oil/lubricant. Products are sourced from Germany, South Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, the United States, China, Taiwan, Japan, India and Malaysia. An extensive distribution network of 747 dealers has been established country wide and the company even supplies its competitors. This network includes distributors in Nambia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mauritius, Lesotho, Swaziland and Botswana. Saito Brand - Domestic & Industrial Sewing Machines The Ramsi Group are worldwide owners of the Saito brand, which is a registered trademark, and are official distributors for Ricoma, FDM, Schmetz, Rich-X, Jegon and Seco in southern Africa. The Saito brand of sewing machines, spare parts and lubricants is manufactured under license from The Ramsi Group. The Saito brand is a proudly South African brand, formulated and developed in Durban and trademarked in South Africa, in addition to being trademarked in East Asia and Africa. The Saito brand has been voted in the top ten in the KZN Top Business Awards in 2012 and 2013 respectively. In 2014, The Ramsi Group was placed in the top four in the trade category and in 2021 was in the top three in the family category. Ricoma Embroidery Machines The company is one of only two distributors of Ricoma industrial embroidery machines for the southern African region. These machines are manufactured utilising the highest quality parts and electronics, Japanese technology, and German engineering as well as a very stringent quality control process. The machines are meant for mass production, which are of much value to small and large clothing and embroidery businesses. This division is headed by Shawn Ramlall who often visits the manufacturers to look at innovative products and undergo training in the machine’s operation. This ensures that The Ramsi Group has first-hand knowledge of the machines in its workshops and can advise clients on the operation techniques. Eco-Friendly Drive Energy consumption and green technologies are a driving force in many manufacturers’ workshops. As such the company is now focusing on convincing customers who have industrial sewing machines to change from clutch motors to the eco-friendly range of sewing machine motors. The Ramsi Group has also recently introduced a range of LED bulbs which are energy efficient. These innovations could save up to 70 % in electricity, which has huge cost saving implications for clothing, linen and towelling manufacturers. Community The Ramsi Group has a special focus on supplying the home industry niche market and the addition of the embroidery machine is of value to this market allowing for diversification. The company has also worked closely with large international, local corporate and government organisations to provide sewing machines for rural community development. Compliance All the Saito domestic electric sewing machine models have been tested and assessed as being compliant with South African standards for which letters of authority have been issued. This ensures that customers are assured of quality products. Covid -19 One cannot begin to describe the destruction and turmoil that the coronavirus has had on families, our economy, and our society. The Ramsi Group was at the forefront in helping to negate the negative impacts of the virus. They have done so and continue to supply clothing manufacturers and households with sewing equipment for the manufacture of PPEs. The Saito range of machines were at the forefront in producing masks, gowns, head scarfs, disposable shoes etc. The Ramsi Group also donated a few sewing machines for the less fortunate communities for them to be able to sew PPEs for themselves. The Future The Ramsi Group intends to continue to take strides through the combination of keeping up to date with technology and innovation to ensure that the company maintains its upward momentum for another 41 years.

REGENT Business School (RBS) is one of the leading distance learning institutions in Africa. The institution’s philosophy of ‘Disrupt. Rethink. Innovate.’ well reflects its goal to transform higher educationRegent Business SchoolREGENT Business School (RBS) is one of the leading distance learning institutions in Africa. The institution’s philosophy of ‘Disrupt. Rethink. Innovate.’ well reflects its goal to transform higher educationREGENT Business School (RBS) is one of the leading distance learning institutions in Africa. The institution’s philosophy of ‘Disrupt. Rethink. Innovate.’ well reflects its goal to transform higher education. RBS focuses on adaptive learning, using technology not only to communicate information, but to improve curricula and adapt to different learning styles. RBS has embraced the “laboritorisation” of learning with innovative iLeadLABs, understanding that you can’t learn 21st-century skills in a 19th century classroom. This goal is reflected in RBS’s commitment to excellence in teaching, learning and research to ensure that students and organisations are provided with critical skills and the relevant management competencies. International Academic and Research Linkages RBS has established academic and research linkages with partner universities and research institutions in Africa, the United Kingdom, Russia, China and India. In addition, RBS is a member institution of the Pan African and Global Honoris United Universities Network. These linkages ensure that the RBS staff, students and alumni are continually exposed to international best practices and expertise from academic, professional, private, public and civil society sectors from a range of countries across the globe. Consequently, RBS’s active research focus combined with the wealth of intellectual capital, its qualified and experienced lecturers, and specialised experience in delivering learning programmes, has allowed the institution to design and deliver effective higher education programmes for students both in the public and private sectors. On Site and Distance Learning RBS’s campuses are in all major hubs including Durban, Gauteng, Cape Town, East London and Pretoria, as well as in SADC countries, Swaziland and Namibia. As many students are unable to attend full time campus programmes, RBS offers flexible delivery options. The supported distance-learning mode of delivery, carefully designed curricula as well as affordable fee structures make RBS programmes a preferred choice for persons in full-time employment in particular. Accredited Study Choices RBS offers an array of study choices, ranging from short courses and higher certificate programmes to MBAs, postgraduate qualifications, degrees, and diplomas. All degrees are locally accredited and internationally recognised. RBS recently received a major accolade with accreditation for the doctorate degree by the Department of Higher Education. RBS’s programmes cover the areas of business administration, commerce, management and leadership, entrepreneurship, local government, educational management, finance, and human resource. Bridging the Gap Between Learning and Work RBS’s programmes are designed to be responsive to the current needs of commerce and industry in South and southern Africa, while being sensitive to the rapidly changing global business environment. In addition, graduates must be prepared to excel at jobs that do not yet exist. One of the institution’s main objectives is to use the potential in information technology to drive RBS into a digital future using the institution’s Employability unit (iLeadLAB) to bridge the gap between education and the demands of the modern workplace. The academic makerspaces or iLeadLAB’s combines formal discipline-centric education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) immersion, with work-integrated learning, and internship programmes. Through this unit, graduates acquire experiential learning of flexible in-demand skills, as well as acquire future-fit skills and experience, which reduces the education-job mismatch and increases employability. Graduates must be prepared to excel at jobs that do not yet exist. RBS meets this need by combining formal discipline-centric education with experiential learning. Entrepreneurial Skills Development The REGENT Enterprise Development Hub (REDhub) leverages the business school’s iLeadLABs. REDhub strives to promote impactful entrepreneurial skills development by nurturing resilient entrepreneurs, and supporting ideas and business concepts, to stimulate the growth of small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs). Entrepreneurs experience the entire process from rapid prototyping and development to finding funding and bringing products to market. Alumni The institution’s alumni base of 7000 is rapidly expanding. RBS’s annual student surveys show that RBS alumni hold executive and leading positions across Africa, the Middle East, Western Europe and Asia. Further, the current student population of RBS is very representative of the demographic of communities in South Africa and countries in the SADC region.Full Name of Company: REGENT Business School Nature of Business: Education Services / Products: Higher Education provider Date Established: 1998 Customer Base: Over 7000 B-BBEE Status: Level 1 VISION To provide accessible, affordable, and quality entrepreneurial, business and management education, responsive to the critical needs of South Africa and the African continent within the context of a dynamic global environment.

Future Farmers started off with three young schoolboys Stuart met at a youth show who had done very well training young heifers and had been in the provincial teamFuture FarmersFuture Farmers started off with three young schoolboys Stuart met at a youth show who had done very well training young heifers and had been in the provincial teamFuture Farmers, which is based in Howick KwaZulu-Natal, was founded by Judy Stuart in 2006 and is an organisation working with youth between the ages of 18 and 26 years old who are mainly from remote rural communities. Its goal is to develop these young people into commercial farmers. There is a critical shortage of skilled, young black farmers. There are thousands of unemployed youths (school leavers and graduates) and many of them wish to access the agricultural sector but are unable to do so. Some have poor academic records (that do not reflect their ability or potential) and others simply cannot afford tertiary education. In the past, little attention has been paid to the training of competent black commercial farmers. All of this has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 lockdowns as well as the increased minimum wage, which resulted in reduced employment opportunities. Future Farmers started off with three young schoolboys Stuart met at a youth show who had done very well training young heifers and had been in the provincial team. The boys were about to finish school but unfortunately none of them had the funds or academic achievements required for further education. Discovering that they were likely to be unemployable mortified Stuart as she recognised the talent that the boys had for farming and couldn’t bear to see it wasted. “I saw in these young people a real passion and I could identify with them,” she said. As Stuart was a dairy farmer and knew a lot of other dairy farmers, she asked them to take on these young people. She requested that they be paid a minimum wage and that she would help with mentorship, which would be soft skill based. The following year their friends phoned her, asking if Stuart could help them as well. “Obviously I couldn’t say no and the year after that I got more calls. Eventually I closed down my own dairy because there was so much work to do, that I couldn’t do both. It has been an incredible experience for me.” Future Farmers Foundation started after the first students were placed on farms in 2006 and the first intern sent abroad in 2007, providing platforms from which young men and women who love farming can become successful commercial farm managers or farmers. An apprenticeship system accommodates school leavers who are unable to attend universities but are passionate about farming and have an excellent work ethic and attitude. As agriculture has such a vast number of sectors, Future Farmers really focuses on what each farmer loves doing which can be anything from vegetable farming to poultry to rabbits or dairy. “If someone wakes up every morning and does something that they love, they are going to be successful – it’s hard to fail,” explained Stuart. Candidates start on farms where they gain experience, working their way from the bottom up with promotions being earned as they develop a wide range of essential skills. After a minimum of two years, those who have excelled in their work apply for an overseas internship (grant funding is provided by a range of sponsors).

Its goal is to develop these young people into commercial farmers. There is a critical shortage of skilled, young black farmers. There are thousands of unemployed youths (school leavers and graduates) and many of them wish to access the agricultural sector but are unable to do so. Some have poor academic records (that do not reflect their ability or potential) and others simply cannot afford tertiary education. In the past, little attention has been paid to the training of competent black commercial farmers. All of this has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 lockdowns as well as the increased minimum wage, which resulted in reduced employment opportunities. Future Farmers started off with three young schoolboys Stuart met at a youth show who had done very well training young heifers and had been in the provincial team. The boys were about to finish school but unfortunately none of them had the funds or academic achievements required for further education. Discovering that they were likely to be unemployable mortified Stuart as she recognised the talent that the boys had for farming and couldn’t bear to see it wasted. “I saw in these young people a real passion and I could identify with them,” she said. As Stuart was a dairy farmer and knew a lot of other dairy farmers, she asked them to take on these young people. She requested that they be paid a minimum wage and that she would help with mentorship, which would be soft skill based. The following year their friends phoned her, asking if Stuart could help them as well. “Obviously I couldn’t say no and the year after that I got more calls. Eventually I closed down my own dairy because there was so much work to do, that I couldn’t do both. It has been an incredible experience for me.” Future Farmers Foundation started after the first students were placed on farms in 2006 and the first intern sent abroad in 2007, providing platforms from which young men and women who love farming can become successful commercial farm managers or farmers. An apprenticeship system accommodates school leavers who are unable to attend universities but are passionate about farming and have an excellent work ethic and attitude. As agriculture has such a vast number of sectors, Future Farmers really focuses on what each farmer loves doing which can be anything from vegetable farming to poultry to rabbits or dairy. “If someone wakes up every morning and does something that they love, they are going to be successful – it’s hard to fail,” explained Stuart. Candidates start on farms where they gain experience, working their way from the bottom up with promotions being earned as they develop a wide range of essential skills. After a minimum of two years, those who have excelled in their work apply for an overseas internship (grant funding is provided by a range of sponsors). Future Farmers provides the following training:  Jobseeker readiness and workplace ethic  Exposure to practical commercial farming  Access to knowledge and information  Practical farming skills  Soft skill training Future Farmers’ work creates value and makes an integral contribution to the South African food supply system through:  Supporting transformation by creating opportunities for previously disadvantaged youth  Developing business partners since many of our farmers become involved in the agribusiness supply chain  Skills development and capacity building in many agricultural sectors including secondary sector  Share of best practices and innovative approaches to farming The organisation’s operations are based on a simple model: • Interviewing of applicants throughout the year • Targeting of their particular passion • Work readiness programmes • Diversification of skills to include drone pilot training, cheese making and more • Securing funding to enable the placement of candidates through salary subsidies • Placement of candidates on suitable farming operations • Assistance with employment contracts, CVs etc • Secure funding for overseas internships.

He saw an opportunity to start a rigging and machine moving business in the Durban market, and he and his brother Bruce - who he asked to join him to take the initiative forward - swiftly formed a partnership. Rigging, a practical, detailed process, would suit their personality traits and training. The business offered independence, and an opportunity to make money. They created an infrastructure and put the elements of business together before starting to trade in 1989. Rob wanted "well coloured and well labeled" branding for the business. "Right from the start we were Citigolf blue and we stuck our Lovemore name to it, I saw the potential for connecting this name to a brand," he says. They liked the old fashioned "Brothers" part of the name. They initially added a "Parks Board Rhino" to the name, but in an inspired moment, with luck, we changed it to a crane. This was not because of the connection to our mechanical cranes, but to have a name close to nature. Then we made the connection, and our friends and family thought it was fantastic." In the early years, the partners were responsible for different functions, Rob focusing on finances, strategy and marketing, and Bruce on operations and staff matters. Rob reflects, "We are a great pairing, we think differently and complement each other. We are a great team." As the business grew organically and expanded into new geographical areas, both partners started assuming responsibility for all functions in different regions. The management style was initially fairly autocratic, also due to the management structures. In recent years more supporting and senior management structures were introduced. More responsibilities were handed down to young managers. Rob remarks, "The young management team is competent and reliable, they will carry the business further and ensure its sustainability." Rob believes part of the reason they keep customers is that he and Bruce are determined and detailed individuals. "It was easy, almost instinctive, to deliver outstanding service, and that led to the development of a trusted reputation." This trust enabled them to quickly pass their competitors. "The service did come at a price for the customer, but also fair value." The nature of the business keeps Rob motivated. He believes he and Bruce are entrepreneurs and contractors by nature, it is in their DNA. They have an innate desire to deliver an end product. "We like the management elements, well skilled people that are coordinated, and using complex equipment. Rigging is an unusual business, a niche part of the mechanical engineering world. People don't imagine the process of establishing a factory, the heavy bulky pieces of equipment or machinery for which one must find a way to get it into the factory," Rob says. "Every lift is slightly different, we love the challenge and are stimulated by it," he enthuses. When asked what is most important in his line of work, Rob replies that is integrity and your character. He believes it is important to create a good environment to work in, create a sense of family, make employees proud of where they are, and give them a sense of belonging in a fair place. Rob's advice to someone new to business is that one's focus and commitment to the process must be unrelenting. Attention to detail is essential. It is important for Rob to take holidays to relieve high workloads and stress conditions. For him there is always a great trip ahead to look forward to. His adventurous character is evident as he says. "I love the winding road, not the straight road. A horizon I am not sure of. I like not knowing what is at the other side of the hill."

He is also the Head of Advisory - KwaZulu-Natal and his areas of specialism include governance, risk management, internal audit and overseeing the provision of audit, tax and advisory services in complex public and private sector environments. Moodley commented that he is excited about the future of the profession and he looks forward to leading KPMG's continued growth in KwaZulu-Natal. He added, "My career has been driven by the opportunities that my long association with KPMG has provided. The journey has not always been an easy one; at times it has been tough. I started off in 1997 as a young and inexperienced clerk, from a disadvantaged background, and I had to fight to prove myself." Moodley said that his wife, Kogie, and his mother have played very supportive roles while he was learning to find his feet in the business world. In addition, the ability to persevere and strive for success saw Moodley through these early challenges. The journey with KPMG also included many firsts. These experiences include his first local flight, his first international flight and his first international experience, which was a three month project in the United Kingdom. This international experience was later followed by a month in Saudi Arabia where he set up a new internal audit function in that region. Other highlights of his career include participating in partner development programmes in Spain, Italy and Cuba. Moodley said, "These were fantastic experiences, which have enabled me to grow into the person that I am today." Moodley has an inclusive leadership style and enjoys adding value to clients and 'bringing people to the table'. He added that he is nurturing of his team and encourages them to focus on the areas that they are good at, to provide opportunities to succeed. He endeavours to surround himself with the best people who can deliver high quality services. In addition to his strong technical and leadership skills, he says, "my major strengths are that I am very approachable and get on well with people." "KPMG in KZN is a thriving practice and we have invested in multi-disciplinary teams who can pool their skills to the benefit of our clients. We employ people who have experience and expertise in both the public and private sectors and in diverse industries such as healthcare, education, manufacturing, IT, mining, petroleum, agriculture, tourism and gaming to name a few. The team also comprises engineers, a medical doctor, a systems architect, major capital project specialists and lawyers amongst others. We differentiate ourselves from our competitors who are not able to have these skills readily available in KZN." The KPMG team works on significant projects in listed companies, state owned companies, government departments and municipalities. The fact that these projects have an impact on the economy as well as on the lives of many people through job creation gives Moodley much satisfaction. Moodley believes that South Africa requires more innovative responses in order to address the challenges that face the country. "We can't keep doing the same thing, we need to do things differently. You must be the change that you want to see in the world." He added that KPMG South Africa plays an important role in driving the innovation and digital space. "One can see the true might of the firm; that KPMG SA can play in this space is wonderful." Moodley is happily married and has a close-knit family, so much so that he struggles to spend time away. He is delighted that he is able to give his two sons the opportunities his family could not afford when he was growing up. He is passionate about football, playing twice a week, and is an avid golfer.Full Name of Company: KPMG South Africa Nature of Business: Our global network of member firms operating in 152 countries enhances the mobility of skills and knowledge we offer.
