RESPONSIBLY SOURCED This new technology product is made in Germany and bottled locally. It has unique properties, namely: it kills viruses, bacteria, fungi and some parasites. It is very safe and has no known side-effects.Quantum SilverRESPONSIBLY SOURCED This new technology product is made in Germany and bottled locally. It has unique properties, namely: it kills viruses, bacteria, fungi and some parasites. It is very safe and has no known side-effects.Quantum.Silver® (Q.S) is a solution of Quantum.Silver complex particles. The Nano Silver Complex is produced in Germany, making use of the Quantum Dot technology. During this process, every Silver atom is attached to a molecule. The Silver is less than 20nm in size. The consistent small size of each silver particle gives the Quantum Silver Complex unique characteristics and makes it highly effective against micro-organisms. At the same time, the Nano size also ensures speedy uptake of the Quantum.Silver once ingested, it is spread via the blood stream throughout the body and is again excreted mainly via the liver and bile within 24hrs.

The Nano Silver Complex is produced in Germany, making use of the Quantum Dot technology. During this process, every Silver atom is attached to a molecule. The Silver is less than 20nm in size. The consistent small size of each silver particle gives the Quantum Silver Complex unique characteristics and makes it highly effective against micro-organisms. At the same time, the Nano size also ensures speedy uptake of the Quantum.Silver once ingested, it is spread via the blood stream throughout the body and is again excreted mainly via the liver and bile within 24hrs. For this reason it is extremely safe as it does not accumulate in the body. Nano Silver (Quantum.Silver) has been widely researched in many countries over the past 10 years or more.

Established with a vision for growth and community impact, Argento Trading 117cc is a proudly South African business that holds a unique position in the apparel industryArgento Trading Established with a vision for growth and community impact, Argento Trading 117cc is a proudly South African business that holds a unique position in the apparel industryArgento Trading 117cc is a 100% black-owned, women- led Cut-Make-Trim (CMT) production facility based in Isithebe, KwaZulu-Natal. At the helm of Argento is the passionate and tenacious co-founder, Joudalle Govender who works alongside her husband TK Govender (founder and operational director). The couple are breaking boundaries in the local clothing and textile sector and take immense pride in their predominantly woman-managed and owned team, a diverse group of dedicated individuals who work passionately to bring their vision to life. As a leading CMT factory specialising in manufacturing corporate and fashion apparel, the company’s commitment to excellence, social responsibility, and empowerment sets them apart in the industry. Growth and Development Established with a vision for growth and community impact, Argento Trading 117cc is a proudly South African business that holds a unique position in the apparel industry. In addition to their expertise in manufacturing corporate and fashion apparel, they have taken strides to further enhance their vertical integration by establishing their own mill factory. The mill house factory is a partnership that plays a vital role in their commitment to producing high- quality garments. With state-of-the-art equipment and skilled technicians, they are able to produce their own premium cotton fabric. This vertical integration not only ensures the superior quality of their products but also allows them to have greater control over the entire production process, from raw material to the finished garment. Argento Trading 117cc takes great pride in contributing to the growth and development of the local textile and apparel industry. By producing their cotton locally, they support the local economy and create job opportunities for talented individuals in their region. Moreover, this approach aligns perfectly with their core values of empowerment and social responsibility, as they actively invest in the well-being of their community. Core Values Their journey towards becoming a leader in the industry has been driven by the dedication of their pre- dominantly woman-managed and owned team. Under Joudalle’s visionary leadership, Argento Trading, has evolved into a thriving company with a predominantly female workforce of 70 employees. Joudalle has been the driving force behind Argento Trading’s success, consistently upholding the company’s core values of excellence, empowerment, inclusivity, social responsibility, and integrity. One of her most significant achievements, she believes, is fostering a culture of stability within her company, where inclusivity and collaboration are the driving forces. “It’s no easy feat when you have to get 70 ladies to all be in agreement at any one time,” says Joudalle. This dedication to creating a harmonious and empowering workplace has led Argento Trading to be recognised as the fastest-growing small medium enterprise through the SME Accelerator programme in 2023. However, Joudalle says that her biggest achievement, and Argento’s as well, has been opening a training school for 18 young women from rural areas. She commented, ‘I think the training school was a highlight for me as a leader, which goes far beyond just monetary value, as leaving a legacy behind is important.” Primary Audiences Argento Trading 117cc products cater for two primary audiences: • Corporate Clients: This includes businesses, organisations, and institutes seeking high-quality and customised corporate apparel for their staff. • Fashion Brands: They partner with fashion brands looking for a reliable manufacturing partner to bring their brands to life with precision and finesse.

Their role is important for helping South Africa regain confidence in its financial system while complying with international standards.LEMSWith experienced founders, LEMS offers tailored solutions and a stress-free payment plan. Their role is important for helping South Africa regain confidence in its financial system while complying with international standards.NAVIGATING TRUST CLOSURES AMID SOUTH AFRICA’S GREY-LISTING CHALLENGES As South Africa grapples with the aftermath of its grey-listing by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the urgency around compliance has intensified, particularly in the realm of trust management. Heightened regulatory enforcement looms, compelling trustees and financial professionals to meet stringent requirements or face substantial penalties. Recent Department of Justice & Constitutional Development (DOJ & CD) circulars highlight sanctions for non-compliance, putting trustees—regardless of trust activity—at significant risk. Many trustees, who may have previously neglected their legal obligations to administer or close trusts, are now finding themselves legally mandated to take action. The country’s grey-listing has highlighted challenges related to illicit financial flows and regulatory oversight, prompting a critical need for improved trust governance. Trusts that are poorly managed or inactive have emerged as liabilities, exposing trustees to significant compliance risks. In this evolving landscape, the expertise of trust management services like Legal Entity Management Systems (LEMS) has become indispensable. LEMS plays a pivotal role in helping financial professionals and trustees navigate the complexities of trust closures, aiding them in avoiding penalties, meeting compliance deadlines, and supporting South Africa’s broader efforts to restore trust in its financial systems. With its expert guidance, LEMS assists clients in fulfilling their regulatory obligations, contributing to a more transparent and compliant financial future for the country. In the face of tightening regulations, LEMS serves as a trusted partner, providing a streamlined approach to the often cumbersome process of closing redundant or non-operational trusts. Their services help mitigate risks, reduce administrative burdens, and ensure that all legal requirements are met swiftly and securely. Co-owned by Brian Payne, a seasoned tax consultant with a wealth of experience in complex tax matters, and Alan Hockey, a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and data analyst, LEMS combines deep regulatory knowledge with data-driven methodologies to deliver efficient and reliable trust closure services. Their tailored solutions cater specifically to financial advisors and professionals managing multiple entities, setting them apart in a crowded market. LEMS’s distinctive approach includes a unique twostep payment system and personalised client portals that ensure transparency and efficiency. Clients pay 50% upfront and settle the remaining balance before receiving their Trust Closure Certificate, providing a seamless and stress-free experience. As South Africa strives to meet the compliance demands imposed by the FATF and work towards being removed from the grey list, LEMS’s specialised services stand out as a critical resource, easing the pathway to regulatory adherence while bolstering confidence in the nation’s financial landscape.

LHL Engineering’s vision is to be ‘the-go-to engineering team’ known for outstanding quality, safety, customer service and valueLHL EngineeringLHL Engineering’s vision is to be ‘the-go-to engineering team’ known for outstanding quality, safety, customer service and valueLHL Engineering’s vision is to be ‘the-go-to engineering team’ known for outstanding quality, safety, customer service and value. LHL has its roots dating back to 1969 when the company was started to support the German- imported LHL axel. LHL was taken over by CEO Nelson Govender in 2015, who made a significant investment ensuring that the company was well capitalised and resourced. LHL has a strong track record in the metals and engineering industry with the past 50 years seeing the company grow to become a future-facing global player, adding strategic value to local and international brands, across South African and global markets. LHL is a specialist fabricator and installer of tanks; pressure vessels; heat exchangers (manufacture and refurbish); reactors; piping; structural steel and general steel component manufacture. Project based teams are available on call for site-based maintenance and installation work. As a 100% black-owned enterprise with a Level 1 BBBEE status with a 40% black female and 30% youth ownership the business is growing from strength to strength. The recently acquired >5 000m² under cover facility in Glen Anil, Durban (with 6 bays, 13 Over head cranes, 6 of which have a 10t capacity and 11m under hook height), is well positioned to deliver on all your fabrication requirements. The 1500m² facility in Atlantis, Cape Town is adequately equipped for current needs. Both workshops are being fitted with new equipment to facilitate LHL’s growth plans with finalisation expected next year. Technology will play a critical role in positioning the company as relevant and ensuring it is able to compete with established larger players well into the future. Consequently, all new machinery and equipment, comprising robotics, 4IR, CNC and green technology, will have the aim of differentiating LHL’s offerings as unique. Based on the changes made in the past year, LHL has been able to acquire new clients, treble its turnover and improve on workload consistency. This workload includes long term contracts, with one client who owns specialist intellectual property closing his facility and contracting LHL to be the fabrication facility. This client has enjoyed increased volumes, lower costs, improved lead times, improved quality and various other benefits that were not envisaged at the beginning. Future growth plans for LHL include becoming a leading player in the metals and engineering industry by applying a 4-Pillar platform entailing financial resources, industry knowledge, customer trust and agility, to successfully drive product sales internationally. Target markets include sugar, chemical, pharmaceutical, petro-chemical, oil and gas, pulp and paper, water and sanitation, transport, and food and beverage industries in both the public and private sector. Past projects have been completed at SAPREF, ASTRON, Illovo Sugar, SI Group, Buckman Laboratory, Sappi Saiccor, Tongaat Hulett, Mondi, Engen and YARA Animal Foods. LHL Engineering has successfully exported pressure vessels and other equipment including complete plants to Australia, the Far East, Zambia, Angola, Tanzania, Mauritius, Seychelles, the Comores Islands, Hong Kong, United Arab Emirates, Zambia, Mozambique and Botswana, amongst others. LHL Engineering was selected to be part of the KZN Localization, Import Replacement and Enterprise Development programme which commenced in November 2021. Through the programme, initiatives such as improved factory layout, production efficiencies, workflow methodologies, quality control measures, staff training have been implemented. In addition, new products have been launched to a competitive and demanding market. In order to satisfy the market demand, LHL, with a group of companies, have adopted a co-operative cluster approach to provide a one-stop facility that boosts their overall competitive advantages, which is progressing well. The cluster creates an interdependent and mutually beneficial relationship with shared services, including state of the art equipment supplied and maintained by strategic partners. The increased workload consistency has led to increased employment opportunities. As such LHL’s permanent workforce has increased by 40% with contracted project workers increasing substantially. In addition, a new PR Engineer has been employed to improve design capabilities and client confidence. LHL is looking to partner with a small number of key clients as their manufacturing expert. This strategy will reduce the effect of project reliance, which is very erratic, with major impact on planning and cashflows. Together with an impressive array of machinery and production facilities at its disposal and through its cluster partners, LHL has become a market leader with the flexibility, industry accreditation (ISO9001/2015, ISO45001, ISO3834, ASME V111 APP10), skills and knowledge to supply a wide range of products and services to satisfy market demand for different sectors.Full Name of Company: LHL Engineering (Natal) (Pty) Ltd Nature of Business: Steel Fabrication, Installation and Engineering Services / Products: Economisers; Austenitic S/S Storage Tanks; Process Reactors; Second Effect Evaporators; Demountable S/S Tanks; Pressure Vessels; Heat Exchangers; S/S Storage Silos; Carbon Steel Tanks; Evaporators & Oxiders; and Full Chemical Plants Date Established: 1969 Customer Base: Sugar, chemical, pharmaceutical, petro- chemical, paper and pulp, water and sanitation, transport, food and allied industries; sugar mills and breweries.
