Independent Media is KZN’s most influential publishing groupIndependent Media Independent Media is KZN’s most influential publishing groupIndependent Media is KZN’s most influential publishing group. From its Greyville, Durban, premises the company prints and publishes eight of its own titles reaching approximately three million readers in the region. In addition, regional copies of national publications and other commercial printing contracts are undertaken, keeping the company’s presses rolling virtually 24/7. The fleet of presses now include the company’s brand-new KBA, which has high quality and other commercial capabilities, that was commissioned in 2021. An extensive, time-pressured operation distributes newspapers all over the province − from Durban’s suburbs to far-flung rural northern KZN, into the Midlands, down the South Coast and into the Eastern Cape. Over 300 000 newspapers are delivered to subscribers’ doorsteps every week, while thousands of outlets, ranging from large supermarkets to small tuckshops, are stocked at least once a day. Many readers still buy ‘on the go’ from our network of street sellers. What’s more, the company has been making great strides in keeping up with the digital revolution that continues to shake up the industry globally. The Independent on Line (IOL) has grown into one of South Africa’s premier digital content publishers within a few years. Different Titles for Different Reader Needs Independent Media reflects and provides a platform for its diverse readership communities – ranging from the readers of English daily titles, the business and professional-targeting The Mercury and the people-oriented Daily News, to the country’s leading vernacular publication, Isolezwe and the niche Indian community newspaper, POST. KZN’s stalwart publication, The Mercury, is approaching its 170th anniversary. Today this household publication is a mix of breaking news and features, delivered crisply for the morning reader. Business Report keeps readers abreast of national and international market news and trends. The Daily News first began publishing in 1878, as the Natal Mercantile Advertiser, based in West Street. With a more people-oriented approach than The Mercury, the title engages readers on a wide range of issues and interests, including entertainment, motoring, Bollywood and racing. The isiZulu daily, Isolezwe, is a publishing success story. Launched in April 2002, the title quickly built up a daily loyal readership of over one million. In contrast to existing isiZulu titles, Isolezwe is indeed the ‘eye of the nation’, sharing new as well as familiar experiences with readers. Hard news and issues of interest to the modern Zulu market in KZN as well as in parts of Gauteng are covered − everything from personal finance, health, motoring, entertainment, sport, politics, opinion, a topical cartoon, book reviews and people profiles can be found in Isolezwe. In 2008, Isolezwe launched a sister title, Isolezwe ngeSonto, which appears on a Sunday and is very popular. This was soon followed by record breaking Isolezwe ngoMgqibelo, which appears on Saturdays, and the weekly Isolezwe lesiXhosa, for Xhosa-speaking readers in the Eastern Cape. The stable of Isolezwe publications reach in excess of three million readers every week. POST is a unique weekly publication. In the market since 1945, POST is the ‘voice and heart’ of the Indian community, keeping readers in touch with religious and cultural happenings but also including content for young readers. Most loved content includes recipes, humorous columns, sports updates and profiles, business news as well as hard news and issues of interest to the Indian community. The Sunday Tribune is Independent Media KZN’s regional newspaper with national stature. It is the preferred Sunday read for eThekwini Metro residents, and many in KZN. Breaking news and tackling topical issues, the Sunday Tribune also covers business and careers, entertainment, travel and lifestyle trends, and property. The Independent on Saturday is a punchy, up-market weekend read with interesting features, and great ideas on how to best spend weekend leisure time. The title’s personal finance section keeps readers in the know about wise − and not so wise – investments and financial options. Independent online (IOL) is one of South Africa’s premier digital content publishers. Boasting an unprecedented stable of more than 15 quality newspapers – including the KwaZulu-Natal titles – the IOL portal provides breaking news from South Africa and the rest of Africa, news features and specialised digital content using a multi-platform publishing strategy. Part of the Community Contributing to the community is an important part of independent Media’s ethos. Falling within the marketing portfolio, a small team drives a range of community projects. The Mercury Hibberdene Children’s Holiday Home provides indigent children and orphans with holidays by the sea. Each school holiday sees at least one, and sometimes two, groups of 150 children holidaying at the home, experiencing the opportunity of a lifetime. For over 60 years the Daily News Milk Fund has been providing milk powder to thousands of needy children in KZN. Donations from members of the public, Independent Media staff and various companies make it possible for The Fund to supply and distribute milk to nearly 5000 pre-schoolers every school day. Supporting educational initiatives is a cornerstone of Independent Media’s Community Projects programme. This includes the annual support to pre-schools, homework centres and places of safety. The company provides bursaries to needy pupils and adults are enabled to enrol for various ABET and matric rewriting classes. The company’s community outreach also extends to various health care projects, including the support for the HIV/Aids sufferers and several health organisations.Full Name of Company: Independent Media (Pty) Ltd (KwaZulu-Natal) Nature of Business: Media publishers, printers and distributors Bankers: Standard Bank Auditors: Grant Thornton KEY PERSONNEL Executive Chairman: Dr Iqbal Survé Head of Direct Sales: Samantha Naidoo Head of Studio Independent: Vasantha Angamuthu Head of National Sales: Agnes Peter Head of Marketing: Lutfia Vayej CONTACT DETAILS Physical Address: 18 Osborne Street, Greyville, Durban Postal Address: P.O.

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 Royal Tyres, one of KZN’s leading tyre specialists is South Africa’s oldest tyre dealer, is celebrating its 84th anniversary in 2023. Royal Vulcanizing, as the company was previously known, was rebranded to Royal Tyres in 2018. Over the years, the company has had to deal with a multitude of industry challenges while negotiating the rapidly changing and often tumultuous political and social landscape of the city and the country. Mr. Raman Patel was the founder of this independent black-owned tyre business, which came into existence during the turbulent Apartheid era. Any other business would have crumbled under the bureaucracy of such a biased system, but Royal Vulcanizing was different. The family business proved to be a force to be reckoned with as its ethos was founded on the principles of integrity, customer service excellence, and competitive prices. The three founding brothers, with their focussed dedication and commitment to offering the highest quality at the most affordable price, provided a solid foundation on which to build the business. Consequently, the business has grown from small, modest beginnings, doing two retreads a day, into a thriving professionally run operation with the full range of passenger, commercial, truck and earth moving vehicle tyres. In 1973, Raman’s son and Royal Tyres CEO, Jay Patel joined the team. His parents had passed away within a year of each other just as he finished his schooling - and he found himself thrust into the family business with his cousins and uncle. Three generations later, the established tyre experts have remained loyal to family and it is now headed by Mrs Jasmeena Shiba(daughter) Mr Pranav Patel (son), Mr Akshay Patel(son) and Mr Nayan Shiba (son-in-law). Human Resources & Workforce The company is segregated into two specialised divisions, Commercial and Passenger with a team of experienced personnel in the tyre industry, providing customers with a highly skilled resource team who are able to provide expert service and value to its customers. The objective of the newly established Human Resources Department at Royal Tyres is to attract, develop, and retain a diverse and talented workforce through innovative recruitment processes. In addition, the company strives to foster a productive work environment where people feel valued and ensuring compliance with respective legislation applicable to labour and its industry. SPECIALISED DIVISIONS Passenger & Light Commercial Vehicle Division Providing a range of wheel and tyre products and associated services for business fleets or family vehicles, or luxury mag wheels for the motoring enthusiast, Royal Tyres has all that the customer needs. Commercial Division The Commercial Division is focused on reducing our customer fleets’ tyre related costs by an offering of almost any product a customer may require backed by industry leading service and decades of knowledge and expertise housed in a prime location with state of-the-art equipment and processes. The Commercial Division provides a range of tyre, wheel and automotive products for multiple product applications. SERVICES Complete Tyre Package The company boasts an exceptionally large stock holding of 50 plus brands of various tyres and rims with sufficient capacity to deliver products nationally through its network of branches and affiliations situated in both the coastal and inland areas. The vast tyre stock holding consists of the local tyre manufacturers and premium international brand suppliers as well as an entire range of brands that are directly imported from various countries ranging from your entry level economy tyres to more mid-tier value for money brands, and then a few high-quality brands as well. Technology Royal Tyres employs highly skilled and experienced staff and the fitting department is no exception. A combination of these employees and the latest equipment make for some of the most trusted tyre fitments in the country Royal Tyres links expertise and automation with quality and efficiency in every single tyre replacement and fitting, wheel alignment and balancing. This same approach is adopted in supplying and fitting batteries, shocks and other parts. Each branch is fitted with state- of-the-art modern technology with skilled staff that set Royal Tyres ahead of other players in the industry. Royal Tyres makes use of the best wheel balancing technology, the Road Force® Elite at-a-glance. 3D wheel alignment allows our mechanics to perform the most precise wheel alignment on all types of cars.

Tronox is quite unique among its peers, in that it is the only fully integrated mineral sands producer. Of the seven ilmenite smelters in the world, Tronox remains the only company which further processes the smelter slag to produce final saleable products (Titanium pigment)TronoxTronox is quite unique among its peers, in that it is the only fully integrated mineral sands producer. Of the seven ilmenite smelters in the world, Tronox remains the only company which further processes the smelter slag to produce final saleable products (Titanium pigment)Tronox mines and processes titanium ore, zircon and other minerals, and manufactures titanium dioxide pigments that add brightness and durability to paints, plastics, paper, and other everyday products. Tronox is quite unique among its peers, in that it is the only fully integrated mineral sands producer. Of the seven ilmenite smelters in the world, Tronox remains the only company which further processes the smelter slag to produce final saleable products (Titanium pigment). Our feedstock production also exceeds our current pigment demand; hence a portion of our final products are sold externally. Tronox Holding plc recently completed its acquisition of the titanium dioxide business of the National Titanium Dioxide Company Limited, previously known as Cristal, becoming one of the world’s leading producers of high quality titanium dioxide and zircon. This highly synergistic combination positions Tronox to increase production and competitively meet demand in global markets. Tronox will be the second largest TiO2 pigment producer, the second largest mineral sands producer, one of the world’s largest producers of zircon and one of the world’s largest purchasers of high-grade feedstock. With nearly 7000 employees across six continents, our rich diversity, unmatched vertical integration model, and unparalleled operational and technical expertise across the value chain, position Tronox as the pre-eminent titanium dioxide producer in the world. Our operations in South Africa’s Western Cape include a mine in Brand Se Baai, a Mineral Separation Plant in Vredendal and a smelter in Saldhana. In KwaZulu Natal (KZN), we have a mine in Fairbreeze and a Central Processing Complex in Empangeni. “An outward mindset allows us to see beyond ourselves and be accountable for the whole,” said Mpho Mothoa, managing director of Tronox operations in South Africa. “We believe that our business can and should play a leadership role in improving the quality of life in communities in which we operate”. Tronox continuously empowers local communities by helping community members establish businesses. Some of the business we have helped set-up, are now our contractors and supply equipment and services required in our operational processes. Tronox believes that these efforts promote the long-term interests of all our stakeholders, including employees, customers, business partners, investors, local communities, government, and the mining and minerals industries at large. “We honour our responsibility to create value for stakeholders,”said Mothoa. Recently, we made a major investment of R3,3 billion in the KZN economy with the opening of the Fairbreeze mine, significantly increasing our exports. Most of the 4200 contractors used in the construction phase were locals from the area, allowing for the stimulation of the local economy. The opening of this mine and future planned projects both in Western Cape and in KZN, has shown Tronox’s long-term commitment in South Africa. Tronox also believes in long term sustainability in the areas in which we mine, therefore one of our primary focus areas will always be the rehabilitation of land on which we have mined. This is in line with one of our values, which is to do the right work, the right way, in every aspect of our business. Tronox have successfully imprinted their environ mentally friendly footprint on Hillendale mine (Hillendale) in KZN, by successfully rehabilitating the land previously mined. The rehabilitation of Hillendale has now become a showcase to other plants around the world, for the successful rehabilitation of approximately 452 hectares of land. The life of Hillendale spanned from 2001 until mine closure at the end of 2013. The conditions of the Environmental Impact Assessment in terms of rehabilitation and mine closure, were based on key objectives and operational requirements to enable Tronox to successfully rehabilitate land back to indigenous trees, grasses and eucaluptus trees. The key objectives used during the rehabilitation process included safe and healthy post mining environment; consideration of economically viable and sustainable post mining land use; limited residual environmental impact and; optimal post mining social opportunities. The achievement of all these activities enabled us to meet the mine closure requirements. Local communities surrounding the mine and businesses benefitted immensely from the rehabilitation process of Hillendale, through job creation and sustained local economy. Hillendale to date has been 100 % rehabilitated, to a combination planting of indigenous trees, grasses and eucaluptus trees. The civil designed storm water canals have been constructed and drop off structures are in place and in addition, the residue dam flood management structures have been constructed. The wall of the return water dam has been breached, and the dam wall has been broken through, allowing run off water from other areas to drain freely, which reduces the risk of open water that could potentially lead to drownings. The Primary Wet Plant footprint has been rehabilitated, and all scrap has been disposed of.Full Name of Company: Tronox KZN Sands Proprietary Limited Industry Sector: Vertically integrated mining and inorganic chemical business Services / Products: Tronox TiO2 mines titanium ore, zircon and other minerals and manufactures titanium dioxide pigments that add brightness and durability to paints, plastics, paper, and other everyday products Date Established: 2001 Customer Base: Long standing blue-chip customers: Akzo Nobel, Benjamin Moore, Cargill, Cromex, Jotun, Asian Paints, ANSAC, Formosa Plastics to name a few.

These include General Manager Processing at Rio Tinto's Palabora Mining Company, and Chief Operating Officer for Rio Tinto's Rössing Uranium Ltd in Namibia. He was appointed the Managing Director of Richards Bay Minerals (RBM) and Rio Tinto Country Head in June 2013. Mothoa's professional journey has been driven by humility and his ability to engage with both the top and bottom echelons of the organisations in which he has been involved. His advancement has not always been easy as he has had to often deal with the label of "first black manager, GM, MD etc." on many occasions, which at first glance might seem flattering but the problem is that it might undermine the merits of progression. Mothoa is justly proud of his capabilities and his 20 years of experience in the mining industry, which has well prepared him for his current responsibilities, rather than the colour of his skin. Mothoa said, "A major challenge that I have experienced along my journey has been confronting the different cultural environments of the various parts of South Africa and Namibia where I have worked. He added, "Although I have a strong determination and will when required, I am also flexible and understand the necessity for an adapt or die philosophy." An important contributor to his success has been in his ability to blend an Africentric or a Eurocentric approach to leadership as circumstances have required. An Eurocentric approach places emphasis on individuals while dealing with communities requires an Africentric approach, which is collectivist in nature. This has proven to be a useful skill in a mining environment where stakeholder engagement, including community and worker interaction, is essential. An initiative that he has a particular passion for is the pursuit of a culture of zero harm to workers in the RBM operation. Mothoa has been out "with his boots in the field driving the employee engagement" and is reaping the rewards of his proactive approach to safety. Workers need to understand that injuries can be prevented and that zero harm can be achieved, rather than being inevitable. The campaign has made a considerable impact in reducing injuries. RBM has recently had 128 days without injury, which broke the previous record of 108 days set in 2014. Mothoa said, "My current role of driving RBM's continued success is exciting but very challenging. It includes the need to maintain low costs and being more efficient in everything that we do." He added that in order to be successful it is also necessary to employ the right people who are passionate about their careers and willing to make a difference as well as be innovative. He said, "RBM's leadership values are an important driver of the daily interaction with the operations. While we have very good systems in place, we strive for continuous improvement and our people are empowered to challenge the processes when required, which ensures a healthy working environment." RBM continues to work with the four host communities in Richards Bay, where the company is often seen as both "father and mother". Mothoa said that enterprise and supplier development is an important pillar of the community strategy so that communities are able to stand on their own feet and are not dependent on handouts. Part of this strategy is in ensuring the empowerment of entrepreneurs through skills development programmes to enable them to become suppliers to RBM and other companies in the region. "However, the joint effort of business and government is required to ensure that social policies and investments are in place to promote entrepreneurs and assist small and medium sized enterprises," he said. Mothoa further commented, "People want short cuts but they need to understand that there is no short cut to success. We must establish business enterprises that are sustainable and not reliant on tenders given by their associates." In the future, Mothoa would like to see more regulatory certainty in the country. Rio Tinto and the rest of investor community, needs to know that their investments are safe and that the mining sector is in no jeopardy. This will be a prerequisite for further investment to sustain and grow the sector. Mothoa enjoys relaxing with his young family in his spare time. Travel and particularly camping provides time out from the pressures of the workplace. He is also a social runner, a pastime he does with his wife, Dorcas. He said, "My personal objectives are happiness, good health and success; and I believe I tick all the boxes at the moment."

Enterprise iLembe is an Economic Development Agency of the iLembe District Municipality mandated to drive economic development and promote trade and investment in the regionEnterprise iLembe Enterprise iLembe is an Economic Development Agency of the iLembe District Municipality mandated to drive economic development and promote trade and investment in the regionEnterprise iLembe is an Economic Development Agency of the iLembe District Municipality mandated to drive economic development and promote trade and investment in the region. The agency is a registered company in terms of Company’s Act of 1978 and established in terms of the Municipal Systems Act (Section 86C) and is accordingly restricted to act as a municipal entity (Systems Act: Chapter 8A & MFMA Chapter 10 & 11). The philosophy that drives Enterprise iLembe is built on global best practice principles in local economic development. “Local economic development is a participatory process where local people from all sectors work together to stimulate local commercial activity, resulting in a resilient and sustainable economy. It is a tool to help create sustainable jobs and improve the quality of life for everyone, including the poor and marginalised.” iLembe District is located on the KZN north coast and is one of the eleven district municipalities of the KwaZulu-Natal province and is also the smallest district municipality in the province, with a total population of approximately 606 000. “Being strategically located between the two major South African harbours of Durban and Richards Bay, iLembe District is located on the primary development corridor in the province of KZN. The close proximity to King Shaka International Airport and Dube TradePort also connects the district directly to both national and international markets,” said Linda Mncube, Chief Executive Officer at Enterprise iLembe Development Agency. The iLembe District municipality covers approximately 3 260 square kilometres and is divided into four local municipalities. • KwaDukuza Local Municipality • Ndwedwe Local Municipality • Mandeni Local Municipality • Maphumulo Local Municipality Economic Sectors Notwithstanding the third wave of Covid-19 infections and the recent unrest in KwaZulu-Natal, Enterprise iLembe is upbeat about its potential to draw significant economic investment into the iLembe District region. The iLembe District is well-known as a fast-developing premier lifestyle destination and as the home of innovative entrepreneurs and start-ups in tourism, agriculture, property, construction, manufacturing sectors. Renewable energy is an emerging sector that is showing great promise. The District has seen the emergence of new economic drivers in the information and communications technology sector, which creates further opportunities for inclusive growth and job creation. “We have an instrumental role in ensuring businesses and citizens of iLembe have greater access to the opportunities presented by digital technologies, especially in a global economy that is becoming increasingly digital,” commented Mncube. “We are mindful that we also have an instrumental role in ensuring businesses and citizens of iLembe have greater access to the opportunities presented by all sectors, including tourism. We will, therefore, need to find ways to grow the tourism sector in a manner that creates business and employment opportunities across the district with future projects such as the KwaShuShu Hotspring project in Maphumulo, the Nokukhanya Luthuli Street in KwaDukuza and the Sibudu Caves project in Ndwedwe,” Mncube said. He said potential travellers are urged to explore the exquisite and tranquil KZN North Coast with fun and affordable things to do. “Visitors can explore different traditional cultural experiences, animal and reptile farms, nature reserves, walking paths, beach walks and scuba diving, as well as museums, art galleries and art and craft markets.” Business Incubator Facility Enterprise iLembe has a Business Incubator Facility aimed at providing assistance for the start-up and growth stages of entrepreneurs or SMMEs in the district, assisting them with access to technical and business-related skills, necessary for the business growth process. The incubation project has the potential to enhance the viability of small businesses and strengthen local economic development, including youth focused projects that have the potential to reduce unemployment in the iLembe District. “It is essentially the one-stop shop for all business-related information, ensuring compliance with all necessary regulations and facilitating access to funding for SMMEs within the district,” said Mncube. Partnerships Mncube said Enterprise iLembe is grateful to the various sector departments as well as the iLembe family of municipalities for the support received to make the investor experience a seamless and hassle free one. “Enterprise iLembe has the critical mandate of driving and facilitating economic development and growth in the iLembe District. This mandate cannot be executed in isolation and it is, therefore, important that partnerships are developed and maintained with all players, including local municipalities, the private sector, government departments, the local community and international organisations. “We welcome local, national and international support to our iLembe District and look forward to building more collaborative partnerships with other business investors to sustain economic growth and to create business and employment opportunities,” said Mncube.Full Name of Company: iLembe Management Development Agency T/A Enterprise iLembe Nature of Business: Economic Development Agency Date Established: 2006 No. of Employees: 27 VISION To be a leading economic development agency that enables the iLembe district to be a destination of choice for investment, business and tourism.
