To enhance agricultural productivity while preserving the environment by offering cutting-edge, sustainable solutions.Biological Agricultural Era Proprietary Limited (BioAge)To enhance agricultural productivity while preserving the environment by offering cutting-edge, sustainable solutions.Biological Agricultural Era (T.A - BioAge) is a proudly South African biotechnology company redefining how agriculture can thrive in a modern, sustainable world. Founded with the vision of combining science with practical farming needs, BioAge has positioned itself at the forefront of innovation, developing molecular bio-stimulants and fertilisers that enhance crop health, growth, and resilience through biologically derived ingredients. The company's central mission is to provide farmers with effective tools that increase productivity and profitability while contributing to sustainable agricultural practices. By focusing on molecular interactions at the plant's cellular and genomic level, BioAge's products help farmers unlock higher yields, shorten growth cycles, and improve the nutritional value of their produce. Science at the Core At the heart of BioAge's offering are advanced biotechnologies that shift the paradigm from traditional chemical inputs to molecular fertilisers. Unlike conventional products that rely heavily on synthetic compounds, BioAge has developed the world's first bio-engineered nutrient delivery system. This unique approach enables nutrients and bio-stimulants to interact directly with plant systems, allowing them to be absorbed faster and more efficiently. Farmers using BioAge products have reported yield increases of up to 50 per cent, while crop cycles are reduced by between two and four weeks. In addition to productivity, BioAge's biotechnology ensures that nutrient partitioning enhances not only the quantity but also the quality of harvests. By enriching crops with better nutritional profiles, the company is playing an important role in addressing food security and dietary needs. Flagship Products Two of BioAge's products have become particularly significant in the agricultural sector. Nitro-Gro isatriple-action bio-stimulantthat accelerates the physiological processes of plants. Encapsulated in a cutting-edge delivery system, it improves nutrient absorption and speeds up plant growth. For farmers, this translates into faster harvest cycles, higher productivity, and greater returns on investment. K+ Booster is specifically formulated for the flowering stage of crops, trees, and plants. By preventing premature flower drop and stimulating the conversion of starches into essential organic compounds, it ensures improved flower retention, better fruit quality, and nutrient-rich yields. Farmers using K+ Booster report improved produce quality, higher output, and greater profitability. Both products are built on principles of sustainability, designed to reduce reliance on harmful chemical inputs while supporting resilient farming systems. Born from Purpose BioAge's story is as compelling as its science. The company was founded not from convenience but from conviction. During his final year at university, founder and current chief executive officer, Reuben Riley Rampersad, received a modest research grant. Instead of using it for academic expenses, he channelled the funds into developing a prototype of a liquid fertiliser that could simultaneously enhance yields and restore soil health. The early years were marked by long nights in laboratories and the determination to prove that African farmers deserved access to the same level of innovation enjoyed elsewhere in the world. That first prototype became the foundation of BioAge, a company born from the belief that food security and sustainability should go hand in hand. As such BioAge invests heavily in community upliftment. Recognising that small-scale farmers contribute just 5 per cent of South Africa's agricultural output due to lack of access to developed value chains, BioAge has made it part of its mission to support them. The company has committed to providing free products to small-scale farmers, enabling them to access supply contracts with major retailers. This not only strengthens food systems but also reduces the cost of food baskets in South Africa. Impact and Performance BioAge's success is not only scientific but also commercial. The company achieved break-even within six months of product launch and has seen demand grow by more than 200 per cent year-on-year. Field trials validated by independent agronomists have shown up to 50 per cent yield improvements, while expansion into Botswana, Zimbabwe, Ghana, and the United States is already underway. Recognition of BioAge's achievements has come through multiple awards, including winning the GreenCape Pitch Challenge (International), first place at the Stellenbosch Lions Den, and the French South Africa Tech Labs Start-up of the Year. BioAge was a finalist in the agriculture sector in the KZN Top Business Awards 2025. These accolades reflect the company's ability to compete on a global stage while maintaining its proudly South African identity. With its bold vision, ethical foundation, and relentless innovation, BioAge is not only changing agriculture, it is building a legacy of resilience, responsibility, and proudly South African ingenuity.

< Back Next Shaaz Moosa Shaaz Moosa is the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Supahot Geysers and MS Group Holdings Shaaz Moosa is the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Supahot Geysers and MS Group Holdings. His business career has been motivated by his family who have all operated business enterprises. Straight after finishing matric, and with their support, Shaaz started his own business journey in the insurance industry. This experience taught him a lot about communicating with people, about how money works as well as the finance industry. He quickly decided to become an independent insurance broker and applied for his license. By the age of 19 he had multiple contracts. However, Shaaz commented that he realised that the insurance industry did not offer the long-term business growth, which would enable him to reach his goals. Consequently, he started dabbling in a variety of businesses including the property market. In 2006 Shaaz’s father tragically passed away and his entire world changed as Shaaz was now required to be the family leader and take care of everyone. HARD WORK While looking for other business opportunities, Shaaz got involved with the Scooters’ pizza brand, opening up Halaal stores. He explained, “Over three years, we opened up multiple stores and I soon realised that this is very hard work as the effort to financial reward did not make sense. I found that it was better for me to open up stores and sell them off. Whilst doing that I was buying one/two- bedroom apartments, as at that time the avenue to credit was quite easy.” As the values of properties was going up, when Shaaz sold these properties off, he was able to build an asset base. “I realised unintentionally, that I’d become a serial businessman. At the time FNB invited myself and a close friend of mine, who has passed away, to do a mini-MBA. He convinced me to do this mini- MBA with him, which we completed in just over a year.” Shaaz said the course was self-empowering and due to his practical business experience, he understood finances better, and he was able to enhance himself. Shaaz mentioned that he has always had good teams and support structures. His mom, wife, as well as his family, and ‘phenomenal’ friends are always willing to assist. He explained, “It’s not about finance, it’s about hearing you, guiding you, motivating you, and being able to learn from people and what they’ve done over the years. I think that experience is the basis for the success of who I am today.” GIVE FROM WHAT YOU HAVE In commenting on his motivation to succeed, Shaaz said, “I strongly believe that if you do the right things, the Almighty opens up the doors for you. If you assist the community, your people, family, etc, then the Almighty will give you more. That is the advice that I give to every young person today. Don’t wait until you have money, give from what you have, and the Almighty is going to give you more. And if you’re doing right, with the right moral compass, the Almighty will certainly make sure that he gives you that responsibility.” “You have to give back into your communities. You have to give back to your family, whether it’s in time or money. You have to include people and by doing that, success is automatic. We must understand that success is not just measured in finances, there’s no point in having lots of money if you’re not a person that one can sit and talk to.” “The rule that I would advise to anybody who wants to do anything, is to give 5% more. Because that 5% more is what allows you to be better than the rest. I use an analogy of boiling water, and it’s a 5% rule. I’m in the geyser business, so I can be more technical about it,” he said with a smile. “Water boils at 100°C. At 100° C what that process can do is limitless. You can create power, and from that power you can create electricity, steam trains, etc. At 95°C what can you do? Have a cup of tea and that’s all. That 5% extra is what unlocks the multitude of other things that you can do, and to achieve that you’ve just got to persevere, be consistent and disciplined.” In addition to the 5% rule, Shaaz said that if you look at the top 100 companies in the world and their CEOs and founders, they have the quality of starting early. “When I say starting early, I’m talking about the 4:00 am rule. One should start work early and that allows you to work hard.” Shaaz’s career has not been without challenges, which in his early days included a lack of credit facilities due to his young age. This challenge forced him to be more creative and to look at out- of-the-box solutions. One solution was to develop business partnerships, and Shaaz now has multiple partners in a range of businesses and projects. In commenting on his leadership style, Shaaz says he prefers working with inclusion rather than in an authoritative style. “I’m surrounded by a phenomenal team, and I prefer having the buy in and understanding from our key staff. We set up our plan and our mission for what we’re wanting to achieve. Including our staff in this process has led to the success of our business.” Shaaz started the Supahot geyser journey in 2018 and the company has now become the third geyser manufacturer in the country. He explained that their success is due to keeping their expenses low and to the relationships that they have built. To relax Shaaz enjoys time with his family. “I think with my busy schedule and timelines, I find joy in spending time with my family. As I have achieved much because of the support, the blessings, and prayers of my mum, I try as much as possible to be there for her. I’ve got a wonderful spouse who’s very supportive of me, and I’ve actually grown quite a bit because of her support.” In conclusion, the motto that Shaaz lives is: “To do good, speak well and listen to people.” Previous Next

< Back Next Theuns Pelser Prof Theuns Pelser is the executive director at the Toyota Wessels Institute for Manufacturing Studies (TWIMS) Prof Theuns Pelser is the executive director at the Toyota Wessels Institute for Manufacturing Studies (TWIMS). In addition, he also holds the CFAO Research Chair. Theuns’ education started directly after school when he embarked on a BCom degree at the Vaal Triangle campus of Potchefstroom University. Theuns went on to obtain honours in business management. On the completion of his honours’ degree, he commenced his academic career as a junior lecturer at the North- West University in 1995. Reflecting on his career highlights, Theuns said, “I think all academics would say the accomplishment that makes them most proud is the day they attained full professorship, and for me it’s exactly the same. Most people outside of academia don’t understand the pressures and challenges to be promoted to a full professor.” Speaking on his current role, Theuns says, “My purpose includes the development of TWIMS into Africa’s foremost manufacturing business education institution, to foster relationships within the manufacturing sector and to ensure TWIMS’s financial sustainability.” BE TRUE TO ONESELF Commenting on the best advice he has received Theuns says, “Always play on your strengths and be true to oneself.” During his school years, Theuns was an introverted child, with some anxiety issues, and he wasn’t a confident public speaker. A class teacher gave him with the opportunity to present to the class, which he experienced as very traumatic. However, he received positive feedback from the teacher who indicated that through his analytical research and presentation, he showed the traits of a lecturer. This feedback set Theuns on an academic research career path. However, his path has not always been smooth sailing, as he has experienced some challenges. Theuns wanted to obtain a doctoral degree at an Ivy League university and was successful in his application to the Rotterdam School of Management, which still today, is one of the top business schools in Europe. “Unfortunately, as a South African, just coming out of Apartheid, getting a work permit was very difficult. I got a temporary permit to get into the country and every second week I had to go to the foreign police, and I was treated like a criminal.” This treatment continued for six months and really frustrated Theuns as he was unable to focus on his studies. After reaching the limits of his tolerance, Theuns returned to South Africa and finished his doctoral degree in a year and a half, and before he turned 30. “The failure situation, turned into a winning situation because I focused on the big picture. I wanted to achieve the doctorate,” explained Theuns. BE RESILIENT Another time of stress was during his stint at Mafeking campus as director of the Business School. Regrettably, a fellow academic accused him of plagiarism. Theuns said, “I had to do something drastic to save myself, because I knew I was innocent. I realised one needs to be resilient but also to be guided by experts. I immediately contact a local lawyer.” The case went to the North-West High Court, following which a defamation case was brought against this individual, as it was proven that Theuns was not guilty of plagiarism and was cleared by the university’s internal processes. Personally, explained Theuns, “I don’t like conflict however, conflict is always in the workplace. There’s a lot of disagreements, small things, nuances in what you say or not say, body languages, etcetera. I think the first thing for me is transparency and open communication.” Secondly, explained Theuns, a supportive environment is critical because within conflict you will have opposing individuals and opposing groups. “If there is a supportive environment, it channels a lot of that negative energy towards more positive energy in terms of resetting.” Theuns does not believe in micromanaging individuals but works to empower his team. He also enjoys celebrating moments of success as positive feedback and recognition makes a difference in other people’s lives. INTRINSIC MOTIVATION “My wife knows I’m a task achiever; completing a task gives me the energy and inspiration for the next challenge. Overall, I think my intrinsic motivation is my real north compass – where the drive comes from achieving something that adds value and is meaningful.” Theuns obtains his inspiration by setting challenging goals that grow him to move forward to achieve tangible results. He added, “I think that’s why I’ve taken this position as executive director at TWIMS. I’ve been fortunate enough to lead a couple of business schools in the public sector, but this is the first one with a very niche campus, as well as a very comprehensive offering in terms of a particular mandate. I would like to not just achieve the goals we set but exceed those.” In certain workplaces, Theuns believes that he would get bored and stale because he would not see them as achieving something to the betterment of the organisation or to the individuals with whom he is interacting. As such the education sector provides much motivation as the benefits are evident. He explains, “Through some of the things that we teach in our classes and in our research and in the way we conduct ourselves in this community, we can actually empower some of the players in the ecosystem to be able to thrive. I know it’s impossible for a little institute to make big differences, but through this small ripple effect, hopefully we can get other players in the ecosystem to take the challenge up.” In conclusion, Theuns explains that as he is internally quite religious, his motto relates to the saying of Jesus which says, ‘The one of you who is without sin let him be the first to throw a stone’. “I think sometimes we are very hard on our staff or on our peers without realising that we’re not perfect ourselves. We need to understand that we need to give enough scope so that they can be able to strive for that perfection.” Previous Next

< Back Next Russell Curtis Russell Curtis is Head of Invest Durban Russell Curtis is Head of Invest Durban, the city’s investment advisory and facilitation authority. However, he wears other hats in various business, community, and faith-based structures. Russell describes himself as a ‘son of the soil across this planet’. Born in Zambia, he grew up in Zimbabwe, spent over a decade in the United States (where he became a citizen), and had stints living and working in the United Kingdom and Europe. This experience has given him a global citizen perspective, but he remains deeply rooted in Africa ‘as a dyed-in-the- wool African’. He says, “All of us across the Rainbow nation, across this continent, proudly see ourselves as Africans, whether we came here by naturalisation 50 years ago or like my ancestors that came here over 300 years ago.” The journey into work for Russell started at the young age of 13 doing weekend work in the US. His first full time job was at the age of 20 with a fund management company in the US called First Investors Corporation as a management trainee. “That’s progressed into financial services, investment advisory and various other aspects of Invest Durban,” he explained. JOY IN PURPOSE Reflecting on his life and career, Russell shares that he has found joy in his purpose. “One of the reasons I’ve been put on this planet is to source, accelerate, and leverage business growth for the benefit of all,” he explains. His vision is to do this in a “globally connected, sustainable, and flawless manner.” He fundamentally believes, “We can’t have islands of prosperity surrounded by seas of poverty.” For him, building nations through the function of work and investment is to build lasting relationships. “In doing so, you build the fabric of Shalom, and construct the nation together,” he explains. When asked about his proudest accomplishment, Russell speaks first about his family. “My wife and I have been together for 35 years,” he says. “We battled to have children, so we made the conscious decision that if and when children came along, they would be our primary investment in life.” His pride in his family is clear: “My son is now 23, getting married later this year, and my daughter is in her second year at university. So, an accomplishment for me is that I’m still married, have two happy, healthy children, and a wonderful network of friends and family.” On a professional level, Russell is proud of his work with Invest Durban. “We started off life as the Durban Investment Promotion Agency (DIPA) in the early 2000s, which was an unknown entity in South Africa,” he recalls. “Now, over these last 23-odd years, we’ve built it into something that Durban understands, and it’s woven into the fabric of other investment promotion authorities around the world. I’m happy to say we’ve leveraged that for Durban’s benefit into the global network.” ATTITUDE VS ALTITUDE Russell reflects that we all get peppered with good advice, “if we’re open to it and, more importantly, if we’re willing to implement it.” One piece of advice that stands out for him is that, “Your attitude determines your altitude”. He added that while he doesn’t always get things right, he uses his attitude to correct his course. “For Russell, challenges are a constant in life. “Life is full of challenges, and I would say every day presents a challenge to us,” he notes. He doesn’t single out any specific challenge, acknowledging that “we’ve all gone through them, whether it be on a work, a family, or a health front.” To overcome challenges, Russell relies on two key strategies: keeping faith and hope alive, and persevering. “If you think about it, what were some of the forces that brought about change in our country? It was keeping faith and hope alive, while overcoming the challenges,” he explains. He added, “The second strategy is more practical – perseverance. We may not be the smartest, richest, fastest, or best-networked, but if you try to out- persevere the situation, the detractors, and the challenge, you’ll end up being the last standing victor.” Russell strives to motivate his team by leading with a compelling vision. “If you can craft a compelling vision and lead with that vision, then demonstrate your own personal commitment to it, that’s key,” he says. He emphasises the importance of 'proximity’ in overcoming team conflicts and challenges. “Where I find myself in conflict with someone or there’s an obstacle in our relationship, I intentionally go and sit myself next to them as often as I possibly can,” he explains. “Proximity breeds solidarity.” A HIGHER CALLING Russell draws inspiration from many sources, starting with his faith. “My faith in the Lord God Almighty absolutely inspires me and gives me a never-ending source of foundation and strength,” he says. He also mentions past bosses like Henk Leenstra, who ran the Nedbank group for KwaZulu- Natal, and global icons like Nelson Mandela. “One of the traits that run across these leaders, and even from my faith, is servant-hearted leadership,” Russell notes. “If we can think of others more highly than ourselves, if we can lead our lives self- sacrificially, there’s no higher calling.” Looking to the future, Russell is optimistic about KwaZulu-Natal and South Africa as a whole. “I think we’ve entered into a new season, and I’m unashamedly optimistic,” he says. He sees a “fantastic paradigm shift into practical public-private partnerships” over the next five years. “We’re coming together again,” he explains, “and that’s what excites me, these stakeholder groups coming together, forgiving the past, realising that we hold a fiduciary responsibility to build our city and nation for our children and grandchildren, and doing it in very practical ways with combined resources.” In conclusion, Russell’s motto, especially as it relates to his children, is simple: “Passion and enthusiasm. If we can engender it in ourselves and distribute it to others, then living with passion and enthusiasm becomes a habit,” he says. In a more personal family context, he adds, “Our little family motto is ‘Curtises are conquerors,’ but we do it in a very servant- hearted way.” Previous Next

DAVID WHITE is an authentic leader with a passion for people development. A highly accomplished businessman, David took a start-up company he founded in 1996, to a listing on the Johannesburg stock exchange in 1998. The company is DRG, and although it delisted shortly after the dotcom era, the company has become an essential service provider in human resource management reporting and compliance services in South Africa. DRG has also become a valuable contact for many foreign companies coming into South Africa, who need the support of a human resource management company to help them set up a solid human resource platform for their business. David further extended his passion for people into co-creating the DRG Leadership Programme. This programme came about after many years in helping companies meet employer HR reporting and compliance responsibilities. David said, "We understood that as much as two thirds of people do not like their jobs nor work environment, and in general companies are as little as 40% productive". This prompted David and his co-director Charles Henzi into action, and now three years later, the DRG leadership model is a highly sought-after programme, bringing purpose into the workplace - the outcome being improved "productivity through people". David's vision and leadership extended further into an organisation called BusinessFit, which provides entrepreneur development services. BusinessFit started in 2012 and is regarded as a leading contributor to entrepreneurial development in South Africa. BusinessFit has mentored approximately 250 entrepreneurs, many of whom have created successful companies. David involves his colleagues and networks in his vision and passions, and has a huge following of entrepreneurs, business leaders and community leaders, who enjoy his desire to help to make the world of business a better place for all. David says, "I dedicate my time to ensuring that I clearly articulate the purpose and desired outcomes the business wishes to achieve, sharing how the business works and the important measurements of enterprise performance, especially customer and shareholder expectations; helping my team to better understand themselves, and their passions and goals. My desire is to help people understand their zone of influence in the business, how they contribute, so that they too can become thinkers and leaders in the business." David is inspired by working with authentic business leaders, who create energy and commitment within their teams. "In my view, the true value of any organisation is its sustainability, and at the heart of sustainability is good people relationships. The best companies, the companies that thrive in all business climates, are those with engaged staff and work teams. These companies have people working together, governed by shared values, understanding and identifying with the business model, striving for common goals and outcomes. Seeing employees within the business treat the company as if they were the owners - and holding themselves accountable for results is the reward." David believes that his success has been based on a single-minded approach to his work. "I have learned that what is important in our line of work is to develop long-term strategic partnerships with our clients. We like to work side by side with our clients, sharing our knowledge, and enjoying the successes they achieve. We keep up to date with industry best practice, have absolute integrity, and share our knowledge and expertise." David is a non-executive director of THINK, a nonprofit company established in 2013. Through DRG he provides essential HR services, allowing THINK's founder to focus on conducting research to improve the lives of those affected by TB and HIV. THINK is now a renowned force for government and public health funders to count on, making a difference in policy making and health service delivery locally and internationally.

< Back Next Shamla Pather Shamla Pather is the owner of Shamla Pather Attorneys Shamla Pather is an attorney at her firm, Shamla Pather Attorneys, which caters to clients in the corporate, commercial, family, property, criminal, and litigation spheres. Shamla describes herself as a girl from the back streets of Chatsworth, who grew up in a home with her mum, dad, and three brothers. She says she had a phenomenal childhood and was a child of the community. “I’m the youngest of the siblings and the only daughter. I lived a very sheltered life and was brought up traditionally Indian. What was fundamental for me is that despite being raised in a home where money was a problem, we were raised with much love.” Shamla didn’t realise growing up in the ‘80s and ‘90s that her family was poor until she finished school and was told there was no money for her to attend university. She was advised to get married as it would be cheaper than tertiary education. Through the assistance of her oldest brother, Vishnu, who saw Shamla’s potential, she was able to study further. During those years, Shamla realised she needed to harness her potential and that she had a hunger not to let her family down, as well as a desire to accomplish something in her life. EMPOWERING PEOPLE Shamla has now been in practice for 26 years. After completing her articles, which she described as a horrible time due to encountering several problems, Shamla joined a boutique law firm. There, she became a partner for 17 years, after which she took on further opportunities at two larger firms. Feeling limited and wanting to empower people, Shamla decided to chart her own course. Shamla Pather Attorneys now has nine employees, with offices in Umhlanga and Sandton. Speaking of her personal journey, Shamla said, “My purpose as Shamla Pather is to be the best mother that I can be to my daughter, Jade, who has made me incredibly proud, having graduated Cum Laude from the University of Cape Town. She’s my purpose in life – to do the right thing, to be a good person, to be an individual who stands out among others, but in a way that adds value. My daughter always reminds me of who I am and who I want to be. For me, juggling a difficult career over a prolonged period and still getting it right with your child is my award. No accolade is as important to me as being a mother.” Speaking of her firm, Shamla expanded, “Shamla Pather Attorneys needs to be a brand that always does the right thing. That means testing my legal knowledge and being the best law firm that I (and my team) can be.” HAVING INTEGRITY The best advice that Shamla has received is, ‘Never forget the people who help you on your way up because you will see them on your way down.’ One of Shamla’s main driving forces is having integrity; as such, her biggest challenge is in creating opportunities. “I found early on that if you don’t know people in significant positions, or if you’re not willing to do things that you’re not comfortable with, you’re not going to get far, and I refuse to do this. I’m not prepared to be a statistic, which has often intimidated people, but it has given me the satisfaction that I have achieved.” When asked how she keeps her team motivated, Shamla said, “I share a lot of my experiences. I’m not an easy boss, but I have always instilled that right is right. It doesn’t matter what the situation is. I always tell them that if you put your hand up and own up to something, we are in a beautiful profession where there is an answer for everything.” Shamla also motivates her team by demonstrating an immense capacity to work extremely hard. In addition, she ensures that she knows what’s happening with each staff member, both person- ally and professionally. “I’m very proactive in empowerment in my firm, and it doesn’t matter who you are – whether you make the tea here or go to court here. Everybody’s the same.” INSPIRED BY LOVE Reflecting on the challenges she has faced, Shamla commented that the three best months of her career were during Covid. “I worked super hard in one room in my home to the point where my staff got paid every month without deductions, even though they were at home, and that year they all received fourteen cheques. If you put your head to it, you can overcome adversity. It’s just a mindset to me.” Speaking of the people who have inspired her, she says her husband, a medical doctor, is a key person in her life. “I am inspired by the love he has for my daughter and the sacrifices he has made. I’m also inspired by the fact that he gave me such latitude within which to grow and to be the professional that I am.” In addition, Shamla has always been inspired by her late mother, whom she emulates and remembers for her values and capacity to love and take care of her family. Her daughter is another source of inspiration; Shamla says she is the epitome of kindness, humility, intelligence, and sophistication. Looking to the next 10 years, Shamla’s goals are not confined to law. She would like to use her skills to be more charitable, engage in more social responsibility activities, empower more people, and teach other lawyers. In conclusion, Shamla’s motto is, “Make a mistake every day as long as you don’t make the same mistake every day. If you do that, you’re not opening yourself up to learning new things from the mistakes you have made. Mistakes also allow you to identify your weaknesses. It’s important to be conscious of where you find yourself in life.” Previous Next

Royal Tyres, one of KZN’s leading tyre specialists is South Africa’s oldest tyre dealer, is celebrating its 83rd anniversary in 2022 Royal TyresRoyal Tyres, one of KZN’s leading tyre specialists is South Africa’s oldest tyre dealer, is celebrating its 83rd anniversary in 2022 With a history spanning more than 85 years, Royal Tyres remains one of South Africa’s most enduring and trusted tyre specialists. Recognised as a Retail Motor Industry Organisation (RMI) member and an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO), the company upholds the highest standards of service, compliance, and operational excellence. In 2025, Royal Tyres continues to build on its legacy – combining long-standing values with smart investments in infrastructure, technology, and people. The past year has not only delivered measurable growth, but also strengthened the company’s role as a reliable partner across public and private sectors. Growth That Reflects Commitment At the heart of this year’s momentum is the expansion of Royal Tyres’ Phoenix Distribution Centre. The development is designed to meet the growing demands of fleet operators, trade partners, and wholesale buyers – supporting faster delivery, smarter stock management, and improved logistics at a national level. This expansion speaks to a simple truth: consistent, quality service requires the kind of infrastructure that grows alongside the needs of customers. Technology That Enhances Trust Behind the scenes, digital transformation continues to shape daily operations. Integrated systems are improving efficiency and accuracy, while smarter inventory tools support better forecasting and reduced delays. The introduction of digital platforms, fleet intelligence, and AI-assisted processes has made operations more agile – without losing the personal relationships that have defined Royal Tyres for generations. Community and People at the Centre Royal Tyres’ legacy is deeply tied to its roots in KwaZulu-Natal. That connection is reflected in continued efforts to assist under-resourced and vulnerable communities – not only through outreach but through opportunity. One example is the company’s growing partnership with the Durban University of Technology (DUT), which provides structured internships for graduates across departments. These real-world placements are designed to transfer skills, build confidence, and strengthen career pathways in a challenging economic climate. Looking Ahead Established in 1939 as Royal Vulcanizing, the company has grown from a single workshop into a nationally recognised tyre distributor – serving individuals, fleets, commercial operators, and government departments across South Africa. With a wide-ranging product catalogue, industryleading equipment, and a loyal customer base, Royal Tyres remains focused on delivering both performance and value. Its continued success is grounded not only in operational capability, but in an unshakable belief in doing business with integrity, humility, and purpose. In 2025 and beyond, Royal Tyres stands as proof that legacy doesn’t hold a business back – it pushes it forward.Full Name of Company: Royal Tyres Nature of Business: Tyre Distributors & Retailers Services: • Tyres - a vast holding of budget, mid-tier and premium branded tyres • Mag rims & wheels • Wheel accessories (Wheel spanners, locknuts, valve caps, etc) • Shocks & other suspension components • General motor vehicle spares & consumables • 24 Hour tyre breakdown service • Fitting & Stripping of Tyres • Mobile truck wheel alignment • Retreading, rim and puncture repairs • Tyre Inspection & maintenance Services Date Established: 1939 Customer Base: Private individuals, commercial & fleet businesses, government departments & municipalities.

Trevor operates on two key pillars: business coaching and executive coaching. “On the executive coaching side, we work with corporate clients, including CEOs, branch managers and leadership teams, helping with strategy, leadership development, and team training. On the business coaching side, we focus on scaling owner-managed businesses.” Trevor emphasises that many entrepreneurial businesses hit a “glass ceiling” and seek him out when ready to break through. “We get business owners looking at their operations from an outsider’s perspective, identify what’s working, what’s not, and create an action plan. We upskill them on how to better run a business.” He adds, “Part of that process is helping owners build legacy businesses – profitable operations that work without the owner and are ultimately ready to sell or scale.” FROM PIZZA HUT TO THE ORIENT EXPRESS Trevor’s story is one of exploration, persistence and purpose. Born in Durban and raised in Johannesburg, he began his career humbly. “One of my first jobs was selling slices at Pizza Hut,” he laughs. During a stint in Europe as a teenager, he took on various labouring jobs – including a memorable cleaning job on the Orient Express – sadly not while the train was travelling the glamorous route from Paris to Istanbul, but while it was in Zurich for repairs. Trevor studied marketing and general management in Johannesburg while working full-time and attending night school. “My first corporate job was in banking with ABSA, initially United Bank.” But the desire for entrepreneurship kept tugging at him. “I always wanted my own business.” That drive eventually led him to the Middle East on a two-year contract that turned into a decadelong journey. “I ended up as managing director and shareholder of a corporate communications consultancy. We lived on airplanes and in hotels, working with banks, blue-chips and investment companies.” One of his proudest achievements was building the Dubai branch of his former company. “We grew it bigger than the Bahrain head office, closed the London office and moved everything to Dubai.” RETURNING HOME But South Africa called him home. “My daughter had been born, my son was on the way, and I knew I wanted them to grow up as South Africans. We breed good humans here,” he smiles. Trevor discovered ActionCOACH just after it launched locally in 2008. “They were looking for early coaches to help launch the franchise in South Africa. I fell in love with the business.” The global vision statement, ‘World abundance through business re-education’, resonated deeply with him. He sold his shares in the Dubai firm, completed certification training in the United States, and officially launched his coaching business in December 2009. THE CHALLENGES OF PIONEERING “I thought we’d have a queue of potential clients out the door,” Trevor recalls. “But the reality was that nobody had heard of business coaching.” The first two years were incredibly tough. “We were launching an unheard-of brand and concept. I’d sunk my life savings into the business. I was the sole breadwinner with two small kids.” He and his team hustled – cold calling, door knocking, relentless telemarketing. “It paid off. Once we got our first clients and results showed, word of mouth kicked in. Now we’re a known entity.” That perseverance is something he brings to his clients too. “It’s incredible. You can work with businesses and in the first couple of months, start seeing results – in time, team and/or money. We have case studies of businesses that tripled profits in the first year of coaching.” But beyond the numbers, he’s proudest of the personal impact. “Sometimes the biggest wins are seeing business owners simply get out of their own way. Stop playing too small. Back yourself.” BUILDING COMMUNITIES For Trevor, coaching is as much about education and focus as it is about metrics. “A 10 million Rand mindset will never grow a 100 million Rand business,” he says. “We work a lot on vision, values and congruency – practising what we preach.” He notes that many entrepreneurs struggle alone. “They don’t know who to talk to. They suffer in silence or ask the wrong people for advice. We provide a safe space – a sounding board, accountability partner, and community of likeminded business owners.” His motivation is deeply personal. “My family inspires me, and my parents especially. But I’m also inspired by all business owners. These are people who left the ‘safety’ of a job to chase a dream. Many are struggling, working harder and earning less than they were in corporate, but they keep going.” LOOKING FORWARD Trevor’s vision is rooted in an economic shift. “I want to see more KZN businesses become sellable, legacy businesses. That requires business owners to start thinking bigger. Too many are shellshocked. I want to remind them of the success stories, South African and global, many of which started right here in KZN.” LIVING THE CHANGE Asked if he has a motto, Trevor doesn’t hesitate. “‘Be the change you want to see in the world’ – Gandhi’s quote. It’s about walking the talk. Too many coaches and consultants give advice they don’t follow. For us, it’s about congruency – improving ourselves as we help others improve.” It’s not about being perfect, he insists. “We’re human. Our businesses aren’t perfect. But we’re always trying to be better.” And that is the heart of Trevor Clark’s coaching ethos: not perfection, but purpose-driven progress. Step by step, one business transformation at a time.

Durban based Plastimed has emerged as a South African leader, providing world class plastic packaging solutions to sectors as diverse as personal care, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, chemicals, and automotive. From humble beginnings to national recognition, Plastimed’s journey is a story of vision, resilience, and impact. From a Chance Sale to a Market Leader The company was founded by Mohammed Rishaad Joosab, whose entrepreneurial journey began at just 19 while he was pursuing a BCom in Business Management and Marketing. Rishaad’s early ventures ranged from selling golf shirts and shoes in Durban’s streets to running a gas delivery business and bottling his own hot sauce. These experiences taught him vital lessons about cash flow, resilience, and spotting opportunities where others see none. The spark that ignited Plastimed came almost by accident. A customer walked into his small workspace and asked to buy spare plastic bottles. He sold what he had, and the same request came again and again. What appeared to be coincidence soon revealed a market gap for a scalable, low complexity, high potential business. From that moment, Plastimed was born. Today, the company is a nationally respected manufacturer of plastic bottles, jars, containers, and closures, serving a growing portfolio of brands that rely on quality and consistency. Packaging Innovation at Its Core Plastimed’s mission is simple: to bring ideas to life through innovative, high quality packaging. The company has invested in state of the art ERP systems and advanced production technologies to deliver exceptional products with fast turnaround times. Its capabilities include blow moulding, injection moulding, injection blow moulding, and inhouse tool and die manufacturing. Its product range covers injection moulded jars, thick walled cosmetic jars, and an extensive selection of blow moulded bottles. To enhance branding, Plastimed offers five colour silkscreen printing, labelling, pad printing, and textured finishes. This comprehensive approach positions Plastimed as a partner of choice for startups and established brands alike. Equally important, the company plays a transformative role in supporting small entrepreneurs. By providing accessible, quality packaging solutions, Plastimed helps microenterprises scale into sustainable ventures, generating meaningful economic ripple effects across KwaZulu-Natal and beyond. Powered by People, Built on Values Behind Plastimed’s growth is a team driven by expertise, dedication, and shared purpose. The company’s core values of integrity, honesty, customer focus, innovation, and teamwork are evident in every interaction. A Level 3 BroadBased Black Economic Empowerment contributor, Plastimed embraces diversity and transformation as key pillars of its business. Many of its longserving employees reflect the company’s belief that investing in people is central to success. “Customer relationships are everything to us,” says Rishaad. “People deal with people, and we always strive to deliver quality products on time; with a smile.” Leading the Way in Sustainable Plastics As a plastic moulding company and contract manufacturer, Plastimed recognises its responsibility to reduce the environmental impact of its industry. The company integrates recycled plastics into the production of nonfood items, while surplus materials are supplied to other recycling and manufacturing businesses, an initiative that inspired the creation of Polymers S.A. By focusing on product design, material selection, and waste management, Plastimed contributes directly to the circular economy. Recycled PET and HDPE reduce demand for virgin materials, saving energy and lowering carbon emissions. While recycled materials pose challenges, such as colour deviations and tighter production tolerances, Plastimed remains committed to sustainable innovation. Empowering Communities and Igniting Economies Plastimed’s impact goes far beyond its factory floor. Its packaging solutions help entrepreneurs bring products to market, driving job creation and fostering local economic growth. Many small businesses, some starting with as little as R100, have grown into thriving enterprises thanks to accessible, reliable packaging. “When you empower one business, you uplift a community. When you empower many, you ignite an economy,” says Rishaad. This philosophy underpins Plastimed’s role as more than a manufacturer; it is a platform for resilience, opportunity, and transformation. Looking Ahead From its first unplanned bottle sale to its current national reach, Plastimed’s story is proof that vision, grit, and adaptability can turn the simplest beginnings into a legacy of impact. As the company looks to the future, its focus remains clear: to revolutionise the packaging industry while driving positive environmental and social change; one bottle, one entrepreneur, and one resilient step at a time.CONTACT DETAILS Physical Address: 48 Peter Road, Sea Cow Lake, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, 4001 Tel: +27 (0)60 991 5108 E-mail: mr@plastimed.co.za Website: www.plastimed.co.zaCONTACT DETAILS Physical Address: 48 Peter Road, Sea Cow Lake, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, 4001 Tel: +27 (0)60 991 5108 E-mail: mr@plastimed.co.za Website: www.plastimed.co.za Up Home Up Mohammed Rishaad Joosab Latest News More About Leaders and reliability are the cornerstones of success.
