During the height of Apartheid misrule, a (young) lad, Sandile Zungu, who was born of conscientious working-class parents and growing up in a sprawling township of Umlazi, south of Durban, was inspired by the Shakaian vision of robust empire building. He envisaged himself overcoming oppression and founding, nurturing and leading an enviable global business giant that would entrench South Africa and place Africa firmly on the global map of sustainable commercial success. In 2002, Sandile took a simple step of registering the company, Zungu Investments Company (Zico), in full knowledge that his vision of commercial greatness will

www.solgar.com Our Mission Solgar has been innovating and producing fine quality nutritional supplements since 1947. Our ongoing mission is to provide consumers with top-quality, innovative, science-based nutritional supplements to enhance their total health and wellbeing. The Solgar Gold Standard™ With our own manufacturing, distribution and laboratory facilities, Solgar ensures quality from start to finish. We manufacture our products in small batches for freshness and according to our own strict standards – standards that are more stringent than the governments require. We don’t do it because we have to; we do it because it is right. We call it “responsible nutrition.” Innovative Formulations Based on Science Solgar has three golden rules of formulation for every product bearing our name: it has to be efficacious, safe and backed by science. If a product doesn’t meet all of these rules, we don’t produce it.

w w w. f m e s s e n t i a l s . c o . z a

Quality Control Solgar’s rigorous quality control system is in place to test products at every stage, from raw materials to finished products. All materials coming into our facility are subject to stringent tests to ensure they are of the highest quality. We also do extensive testing on initial formula batches, mid-production batches, and the final product. Our Quality Control Laboratory ensures that each product leaving our door meets our Gold Standard™ for quality. State-of–the–art Manufacturing Solgar’s manufacturing facility meets pharmaceutical standards for machinery, procedures, quality control, and environmentalism. These standards exceed those required by the supplement industry, but we feel they are necessary to provide our customers with the highest quality products available. Premium Packaging Most Solgar products are packaged in amber glass bottles, which protect against heat, light and moisture. Our 100% recyclable glass bottles are non-leaching, non-porous, and odourless.

Peter Mageza

Fraud in the workplace is as dynamic and established as any other business. Therefore, measures to scientifically and proactively identify potential human risks are not a luxury, but a necessity. Conducting in-depth background profiling prior to appointing someone may be costly, but not nearly as costly as losing company assets, putting your companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation at risk or having to cope with staff members who conduct their work with low or no integrity. The positive impact of iPACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s background profiling, verification, psychometric testing and assessments is clear from the fact that fewer disciplinary hearings and dismissals occur, staff turnover is much lower and clients boast a more effective worker corps.
