When the going gets tough, the tough get going
2024 has been a tough year for many, but the age-old adage, 'When the going gets tough, the tough get going', has certainly applied to our year. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, following the devasta ng fire which reduced our Cape Town branch to ashes, two new branches have replaced it, giving more and easier access to installers.
And while the natural tendency, when things get tough, is to pull in one's horns and cut expenditure, especially when it comes to adver sing, promo ons and exhibi ons, our staff and clients have to be congratulated on going the extra mile by holding more field days, a ending more shows, holding more training courses and assis ng more installers than in any previous year. We thank you all most sincerely for your efforts.
2024 also saw the introduc on of many innova ve new products and the installa on of our electric fencing security range around many pres gious sites ranging from domes c to large strategic key points locally and globally.
Finally, 2024 saw the re rement of two founding members, Maurice and Leanne Williamson, to non-execu ve directors. We thank them for their contribu ons to the growth and success of our company and wish them all the best in their twilight years.
To all our valued customers, a big thank you for your much appreciated support duringthe year. Here's wishing you everything of the best for the holiday season and 2025.
Ultra Low Resistance Poliwire
ULTRA-WIRE
3.5MM, 9-STRAND, 3 x COPPER 6 X STAINLESS STEEL WIRE
Poliwire is easy to work with, but has a high resistance due to the embedded, thin, stainlesssteel strands. Braided galvanized wire has lower resistance but is not quite as easy to work with as Poliwire. Ultra-Wire, combined with the low resistance of Braided Galvanized Wire, provides the best of both worlds.
The visible, 9-conductor, low resistance, UV stabilized, 2.5mm poliwire, is portable, tough and ideal for long distance electric fencing of temporary paddocks.
THE IDEAL WIRE SOLUTION FOR LONG DISTANCE STRIP GRAZING
JVA Direc onal Digital Fault Finder with Remote Control
This exci ng new product can save fuel costs and me by enabling you to switch your fence, safely and securely, on and off from anywhere on the fence line. The JVA Digital Fault Finder and Remote Control allows simple and reliable electric fence measurement and control. The Fence Line Communica on technology allows your fence to be armed and disarmed at any point along the fence. There is no need for WiFi or Cellular signal, just the press of a bu on on your paired remote.

Ø Rugged plastic case for reliability
Ø Ergonomic design fits in your hand
Ø Replaceable standard 9v alkaline battery
Ø Proprietary Fence Line Communication (FLC) protocol

JVA solar Energizer Stand Fin
Not everyone has a Y-Standard available on which to put their Solar unit or wants to carry around a heavy long post.
The JVA Solar Fin stand is light and compact. This full-length stand can be unscrewed in the middle, making the two shorter parts easier to store and carry and ship with Pet Solar Kits. It keeps the energizer off the ground but can also keep it low and hidden from prying eyes.
The fin acts as a foot plate and anchor when pushed into the ground but also, with its extra area, makes a nice earth spike and plate for short distance strip grazing and pet fences.
JVA Digital Voltmeter Large Game Warning Sign
This is an inexpensive and easy to use Fence Voltage Meter for when all that is required is to check that the fence is working. It is ideal for security guards and homeowners to ensure that their fences are operating.
Features

The growth of the Lithium Iron Phosphate Ba eries Market
With the increased popularity of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) ba eries over the last year, based on their definite advantages, comes an increase in the number of devices being made compa ble with these ba eries. The JVA range of Solar Energizers are 100% compa ble and in fact, come with a LiFePO4 7.8 Ah as a standard fitment. The Victron range of products are also 100% compa ble with a specific se ng for LiFePo4 ba eries. The Paradox intrusion alarm systems also have such a se ng. IDS are also sugges ng an external charger with a bigger 20 Ah LiFePO4 ba ery where possible periods of long power cuts are experienced. Most modern inverters are LiFePO4 compa ble, even with most now only able to work on these ba eries. Mustek has brought out versions in their Mecer range which are now compa ble.
The advantages of LiFePO4 ba eries are their higher life cycles – up to 10 mes be er than SLA ba eries. The weight is greatly reduced with this technology as the weight per kilogram is 1/3 of SLA variants. Ba ery Management Systems are incorporated to protect these ba eries from overcharging, over discharging and short circui ng. The backup me is around four mes that of SLA ba eries.
The JVA Range of LiFePO4 ba eries come in the following formats:

Love overcomes all obstacles
Sadly, from our point of view, in early November we saw the departure of Chris Maulgue 'eloping' with his soon-to-be newly wedded wife to the Land of the Long White Cloud.
However, take heart, all is not lost, and New Zealand's gain is not en rely our loss as Chris will be staying on within the JVA/STAFIX fold as manager of the Pacific Ring of Fire.
Happily, with modern-day technology, Chris will be only as far away as his trusty Smart Phone and so will s ll be available to answer your mails, WhatsApps, calls and queries. He also will be back visi ng SA regularly, and so he is definitely not gone.
Chris, we wish you well stoking those Pacific fires and all the best to you and Heather on this next exci ng phase of your lives, and always remember, “Happy wife, Happy life.” Good on ya mate.

Knowledge is Power
They say, ‘Knowledge is Power’ and when dealing with JVA power, it’s very important to have as much knowledge as possible so as not to burn one’s fingers. The same can be said for Dahua CCTV Systems, Roboguard and Askari beam systems, Automa c Gate Motors – in fact all the product ranges that Stafix Electric Fence and Security Centers market and sell.
It was with this in mind that Stafix Electric Fence & Security Centers, decided to establish a fully registered integrated training ins tu on, Ndlovu College, to provide installers with the best theore cal and prac cal training possible. This fully equipped training college is situated in Harmelia, a suburb very close to Jet Park and Oliver Tambo Interna onal Airport. The facility boasts a wellequipped lecture room, a prac-room containing fences for COC training and candidate evalua on, a room fully equipped for camera and CCTV training, and demo-areas specializing in gate automa on, Roboguard systems, and agricultural and wildlife fencing.
This Stafix training facility also has a fully func onal Security Control Guard Room providing trainees with the opportunity to gain experience in fully integra ng the diverse ranges of security products and security and animal control electric fence monitoring systems, marketed by Stafix Electric Fence and Security Centers.
The training college also has a comfortable entertainment and refreshment area and is located right next door to two moderately priced hotels.
Besides this JHB training centre, we have training centres in 11 of our Stafix Branches na onwide, making it easier and more accessible for those who wish to train and build their skills and knowledge though our available courses.
For further informa on on ‘When and What’ courses are being held, contact your closest Stafix Branch (www.stafix.co.za) or contact Johanna Dube on 011 397 3507 or email johannad@stafix.co.za.
