If every businesswoman could hand hold another woman; just to help them to become a businesswoman, we would have done well.Boni Mchunu < Back Boni Mchunu Managing Director at East Coast Radio (ECR) Boni Mchunu is currently the managing director at East Coast Radio, and she has been with the station for the past eight years. Her business career, Boni said, has “been really a journey”. She joined East Coast Radio from the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Tourism Authority and before that she worked for Unilever, South Africa. Boni added that she has always regarded herself as a leader, who is an industry agnostic. She said, “Put me in any business and I will be able to tap in and really immerse myself into understanding that business.” Reflecting on her position at East Coast Radio, Boni commented that it feels like yesterday since she started her radio career. She added, “East Coast Radio is the heartbeat of KZN, and I am a KZN girl. I was born here, I was educated here and it is home. The station is at the heart of absolutely everything that KZN is about, and I just love it.” Self-drive, self-determination, self-awareness and really knowing what it is that she wants to achieve have motivated Boni’s journey. She added that her dad died when she was in her teens, and he really inspired her a lot. “One thing he told me was that I must be careful about the decisions I make about education. And education for me has been at the heart of absolutely everything that I do.” It is therefore unsurprising that Boni is in her final year of completing an MBA. Boni is also inspired by reading about other successful people, such as Steve Jobs, as well as the likes of Mandela. “If you read about the Mandela journey, you really get to understand that nothing is impossible under the sun, if you put your mind to it,” explained Boni. “You must just have discipline to make sure that you achieve whatever you set out to achieve,” she added. There have been many challenges along her journey explained Boni. “I think the very obvious one is being a black young woman in South Africa. There’s always that connotation that, are you here because you are a quota? And I always want to make sure that people know that I’m here because I’m worth it. I’m suitable. I’m qualified, and I can do the job.” The recent past, especially with Covid, has been a huge challenge. “It was my fourth year at East Coast Radio and was probably the first time where we were down double digits versus what we had set ourselves to achieve as a business.” However, said Boni, they learnt that resilience pays off and the station has been able to rebuild and achieve great business results again. As the province has also faced floods and unrest, Boni commented, “One thing that stands out for me about this province is that the people in KZN live by the spirit of ubuntu and that’s why we’ve been able to rebuild.” “Personally,” explained Boni, ‘My future goals are about being the best version of Boni every day. I don’t let failure define me. I remember when I started my MBA journey, there was a time when I was about to give up, but the resilient Boni in me kept me going.” In addition, as Boni is a mother to three children who look up to her, it’s very important for her to take into account the lessons that she is imparting to them. As a leader Boni is very results driven, so she needs to make sure that she delivers. Most importantly, as mentorship has been important to her and she has learnt so much through this journey, she wants to give back meaningfully and sustainably through education. “I know what education has done for me, so it’s one of my legacy things that I want to leave behind,” she says. Boni has identified four girls who she is mentoring. “It really was quite encouraging and satisfying for me to have one of them graduating last year. I’m glad that I could be there to navigate tertiary education with her. It’s really been an amazing four years to see her where she is today. I just think that if every businesswoman could hand hold another woman; just to help them to become a businesswoman, we would have done well.” In advising young women, Boni says that it’s important to be yourself, be authentic and work hard. “If you work hard, your work will speak volumes, whether you are present or not, and then life will unfold. Be you, because if you try and be somebody else, I believe that the universe can’t find you, whereas if you are authentically yourself and just work hard, everything else will take care of itself.” One of Boni’s favourite things to do to relax is to run, which is her therapy of choice. She also enjoys spending time with her kids, her husband, and having moments that they can cherish. She added, “I love cooking. I don’t cook every day, but if I do cook, I cook with my kids, especially on weekends. We try different recipes as I have an eye for culinary arts.” Boni says that she believes in looking after yourself. “I believe that if you have self-love then you can extend that love to others. If you don’t love yourself, then it’s hard to give it up. So self-love and time to myself is very important so I can spend time with people, those who are close to me and those whom I work with meaningfully.” “Being part of KZN Top Business Women is great as the initiative is centred around this province. I believe KZN is an amazing destination with amazing businesswomen. Initiatives like this really go a long way in positioning us in this province. We can show other women, especially younger women, that it is possible to take up the space in business,” concluded Boni.

The Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone (RBIDZ) is a state-owned, legally registered, industrial development company situated in KwaZulu-Natal. Linked to the international deep-water port of Richard’s Bay and with prime rail and road access, this IDZ is indeed the portal to the worldRichards Bay Industrial Development Zone (RBIDZ)Thabane ZuluThe Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone (RBIDZ) is a state-owned, legally registered, industrial development company situated in KwaZulu-Natal. Linked to the international deep-water port of Richard’s Bay and with prime rail and road access, this IDZ is indeed the portal to the world. The KwaZulu-Natal government is the sole owner of the RBIDZ, reporting to the Department of Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (DEDTEA) through an accounting authority (Board) that is appointed by the MEC. The RBIDZ is an organisation made up of real people, with a real dedication, and passion to effect real change in South Africa. This commitment and energy are apparent in all dealings with not only each other but with potential investors too. The company’s purpose summarised, ultimately guides the strategic direction of the organisation. The purpose of the RBIDZ is to: • Attract local and foreign investors who will beneficiate South Africa’s raw materials • Create production capacity • Provide services • Create employment and improve the skills base This prime industrial business and trade hub is one of the country’s leading Special Economic Zones (SEZ). A SEZ aims to encourage international competitiveness through offering a number of benefits: • The reduction in corporate tax from 28 to 15% • World-class industrial land that support infrastructure for export-orientated production • Dedicated in-house Customs Controlled Area (CCA) that supports services to expedite forwarding and clearing • Duty-free on imports for production related raw materials including machinery and assets used in production with aim of exporting the finished products • VAT exemptions under specific conditions for supplies procured in South Africa The RBIDZ is an integral part of Government’s macroeconomic policy to develop South Africa’s manufacturing sector. This is done through encouraging investment in export orientated manufacturing industries, centred on beneficiation of the country’s natural resources and thereby creating opportunities for employment, and has already entered into agreements with locators who will bring billions of rand of investment to the Richards Bay area. The RBIDZ strategy is to cluster smaller, downstream manufacturing businesses around existing major industries in the City, as well as attract small-medium industrial operations that will create employment and economic growth whilst broadening South Africa’s export products. PRIORITY SECTORS Agro-processing Richards Bay is the ideal location for light to medium, resource intensive industry and agro-processing projects. Being within the vicinity of one of the largest deep-water ports in Africa, it serves to boost economic activity and attract international investors. The RBIDZ has earmarked land in Phase 1A on which the agro-processing infrastructure will be located. This is serviced land only two kilometres away from the Port of Richards Bay. Specific services offered include: • A dedicated warehouse for the export of valueadded products • A manufacturing facility for various commodities • A dedicated warehouse for processed products for export • Logistics and strategic linkages with farmers • Market intelligence to local producers • Service to international investors • Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to Power Plant Agro-processing activities at the RBIDZ comprise of two major categories: 1. Activities such as crop drying, shelling/threshing, cleaning, grading and packaging. 2. Increasing the nutritional or market value of a commodity and changing the physical form or appearance of the commodity. Examples include milling grain into flour, grinding groundnuts into peanut butter and pressing juice out of fruit. Techno Parks The RBIDZ is seeking investors to set up Techno Parks in the Richards Bay Development Zone so that the existing and upcoming generations of South Africans can benefit from new ideas and technologies that may very well change the world. In addition, Techno Parks provide valuable insights and intellectual resources from which the other sectors such as renewable energy and marine industry situated in the RBIDZ can benefit immensely. Metals Beneficiation Hub A Metals Beneficiation Hub will offer tenants a serviced property located in a secure area with investment and operating incentives including a Customs Controlled Area (CCA) within a designated SEZ. Expected hub locators include manufacturers and/or processors of: • Aluminium conductors • Aluminium extrusions for construction material, automobile industries, casings, industrial manufacturers • Aluminium castings for the automobile sector, marine engine parts and structures • Aluminium foils for food packing and pharmaceutical wraps, cable wraps • Aluminium powder and paste for explosives and paints • Aluminium slug for producing aerosol cans • Aluminium dross to recover aluminium metal A metals beneficiation hub will offer tenants: • Improved intra-inter department cooperation • Support for technical upgrades • Promotion of industry development by encouraging cluster/alliances/cooperation in the metals and aluminium pipelines • Sub-sector data including export/import market information Marine Industry Development and Renewable Energy There are exciting investment opportunities that lie within the marine industry and renewable energy sectors. Strategic research is currently being conducted and more information is available from the RBIDZ.

Transnet Pipelines, formerly known as Petronet, the custodian of the country's strategic pipeline assets, is currently servicing two key industries (fuel and gas) by transporting petroleum and gas products over varying distances. Our business, having been established in 1965, is integral to the well-being of the South African economyTransnet PipelinesTransnet PipelinesTransnet Pipelines, formerly known as Petronet, the custodian of the country's strategic pipeline assets, is currently servicing two key industries (fuel and gas) by transporting petroleum and gas products over varying distances. Our business, having been established in 1965, is integral to the well-being of the South African economy. The business handles an annual average throughput of some 16 billion litres of liquid fuel and more than 450 million cubic metres of gases. The liquid products include crude oil as well as diesel, leaded and unleaded petrol and aviation turbine fuels. The Pipeline Network The liquid fuels network traverses the provinces of KwaZulu-Natal, Free State, Gauteng, North West and Mpumalanga. The intake stations are the two Durban refineries - the crude refinery at Coalbrook (Natref) and the Sasol 2 and Sasol 3 synfuel plants at Secunda. The network includes a tank farm, at Tarlton, with a capacity of 30 million litres which is used mainly for storage and the distribution of liquid fuels into Botswana. The gas pipeline, a converted line previously used for liquids, runs from Secunda to Durban via Empangeni. It has take-off points at Newcastle and Richards Bay as well as along the route between Empangeni and Durban. All Transnet Pipelines' pipelines conform to ASME B31.4, an American code of practice, with their diameters designated in inches from six inches (nominally 150 mm) to 20 inches (nominally 508 mm). Pressure in the pipeline network is monitored on a 24 hour-a-day, 365 days-a-year basis at the control centre at Transnet Pipelines' Durban head office. Transnet Pipelines' staff complement of some 600 is deployed across the pipeline network with the business itself being geographically decentralised. The regional offices in Bedfordview are in the north of Johannesburg, housing the main support functions including marketing, finance, human resources, technical, projects and information systems, with a second branch located in Pinetown. Customers Transnet Pipelines' customers are all South Africa's major fuel companies namely; BP, Caltex, Engen, Exel, Sasol Oil, Sasol Gas, Tepco, Shell and Total. Many of these organisations are empowerment companies, representing new players in the market. Market Shares Transnet Pipelines' network transports 100% of South Africa's bulk petroleum products. The Natref inland refinery receives all of its crude oil requirements from Transnet Pipelines' pipelines. Pipeline Integrity Transnet Pipelines continually monitors the integrity of its pipeline network. Internal inspection tools, known as Intelligent Pigs, are valuable devices for this work. They make use of the magnetic stray flux principle to determine and record possible areas of metal loss from corrosion or any other cause. The results of the most recent Intelligent Pig survey of the network indicate that the pipelines, which are methodically protected against electrolytic corrosion, are in a generally good condition. A strategic maintenance plan for Transnet Pipelines' assets has been compiled, and ongoing maintenance projects are monitored by a steering committee to ensure that the pipeline system and its peripherals are continuously improved upon. The Future Transnet Pipelines is structured and manned in such a way that it can optimally manage its own network and grow. Our experienced and dedicated workforce is ready and able to face the diverse challenges and play the role as expected of Transnet Pipelines and the various stakeholders.
