EDITOR’S LETTER & CREDITS

An interconnected business environment By all accounts, business confidence in the Western Cape enjoys a far more positive sentiment than the national average. A Q2 2012 economic report on the Western Cape economy showed that despite a decline in business confidence from 49 index points in Q1 to 45 index points in Q2, it still averaged a better confidence index than that of South Africa, which fell 11 index points to 41 during the same period.

And for those doing business in the region (read our round-up of views on page 90), the reasons are simple.

• The Cape has an astute customer base • Our business community is diverse (read our round-up on young entrepreneurs on page 91) • A well-educated and trained labour market • A thriving economy (read our sector reportage starting on page 27) • Good public administration • And, it’s the most innovative city in the country (read our article on the World Design Capital on page 70) While all of these certainly play a pivotal role in creating an enabling environment for business to thrive in the region, paying attention to how we develop a culture of interconnectedness with our people, other regions, and the global community must surely inform what drives the local agenda.

Grant Thornton’s recent report on emerging markets has ranked South Africa (SA) as the leading emerging economy in terms of SA being a key potential investment spot on the African continent, ahead of Nigeria. This should drive what business and local government in the region focuses its potential growth on. We tackle the emerging market debate on page 56 as we put forward that it’s no longer just a euphemism for third world poverty, but certainly a very real economic reality for us.

We must ask the question ‘what role the region plays in this new reality’. How should we begin to reshape the thinking around our primary service-driven economy? How do we begin to re-energise previously well performing sectors? The real estate sector being one example (read our article on page 64). How do we turn the potential of a 24-hr city into a vibrant economy (find out what the 24-hr city means for the WC on page 64)?

All of this interconnectedness must be embedded in a vibrant social economy where we begin to engage and create a vibrant citizenry that participates in the overall outlook of the region together with the private and public sectors. It’s our next ‘big idea’ – to get all our stakeholders engaged together towards one aim – creating an economic landscape that attracts local and global investment, retains core skills within the region, and rewards its citizens with a boost in a quality of life that far exceeds our wildest expectations.

Here’s hoping we can do this together.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY

Viola Manuel EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, CAPE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY We have witnessed many businesses continue to struggle out of the financial mire left in the wake of the sub-prime crisis.

But the people in the Western Cape are nothing if not resilient. There is seldom a week that goes by when we don’t encounter a member company who has not only found a way to weather the global economic storm, but seized the opportunity to re-invent themselves, create a new service or product, or in some way innovate.

It is the nature of the people in this region to be enthusiastically creative and this is translating into a rather optimistic financial outlook for the region in general.

“IF GROWTH AND INNOVATION ARE TO BE FOSTERED IN OUR LOCAL ECONOMY, WE NEED TO FIND COMMONALITIES AROUND WHICH WE CAN UNITE.”

The Western Cape has embraced an innovative approach to attract better business, and alleviate poverty. We applaud and acknowledge that the Design Indaba played an important role in increasing trade into the Western Cape in order to assist in creating jobs. We are seeing companies who are genuinely looking to foster and monetise innovation.

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

WC-forward-chamber of comm-01.indd 2

This year the Cape Chamber of Commerce will be driving a Pan African agenda. We will be actively and aggressively finding ways to make the Western Cape the first port of call for global businesses looking to expand their African footprint. For this to succeed, we will need the support of all stakeholders, both public and private.

Publications like Top300 Western Cape are therefore key to profiling the region and the many opportunities open to businesses. We are delighted to be associated with the publication again this year, and we are certain that you will find it both valuable and entertaining.

The Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry constantly strives to recognise this innovation and through annual awards such as our Exporter of the Year and our branch networks’ Excellence Awards, we highlight the achievements of our members.

A key challenge for the Western Cape is the lack of cohesion between public and private sectors, academia, NGOs and organised business. If growth and innovation are to be fostered in our local economy, we need to find commonalities around which we can unite.

Issues such as job creation, skills development, stamping out corruption at every level and fostering and nurturing an enabling business environment are key pillars in many organisations. Yet we often find ourselves working in isolation. The time has come for meaningful collaboration, for setting aside our differences and finding ways we can support each other and focus on delivery.

10

We also need to forever set aside our parochial outlook and realise that the Western Cape has a real ability to market itself as the gateway into Africa. The tourism industry has been successful in this regard, but it is time for businesses in the region to find ways to make the Western Cape appealing to a more global audience.

WESGRO

Nils Flaatten CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, WESGRO This past year marks three decades of Wesgro promoting trade and investment in the Western Cape and so contributing to the economic development of the province. It also marked the 11th consecutive year that the provincial economy has outperformed the national economy and the 9th consecutive year that it has outshone the other eight provinces in terms of average annual growth – truly an achievement worth celebrating.

“A SURVEY OF COMPANIES INVESTING IN THE WESTERN CAPE REVEALED TWO MAIN REASONS FOR INVESTING IN THE PROVINCE: THE DOMESTIC MARKET GROWTH POTENTIAL AND PROXIMITY TO MARKETS OR CUSTOMERS.”

Fittingly, there were many highlights during the past year. The various Wesgro business units undertook several outward selling initiatives and hosted a number of inward missions and delegations, and continued to engage with our local business stakeholders and international investors on various platforms. Through these efforts, we were able to attract almost 10 percent of the total FDI into South Africa in the 2011/2012 Wesgro financial year to the Western Cape, while the province recorded the 2nd highest imports and 3rd highest exports in the country. In the process, we have assisted numerous local companies to market their products and services and created jobs to benefit the people of the Western Cape.

A survey of companies investing in the Western Cape revealed two main reasons for investing in the province: the domestic market growth potential and proximity to markets or customers. This speaks strongly to the potential for both local and international business in the Western Cape and bodes very well for future economic growth. Ultimately, the investment potential of the Western Cape will be driven by strategic companies that are committed to ensuring they drive business growth and entrepreneurship. Our strengths in innovation,

creativity and passion are the foundation for businesses to develop and implement investment and export strategies.

The Department of Economic Development and Tourism (DEDAT), under the Enterprise Development (ED) unit has initiated the Provincial Entrepreneurship Recognition Awards as the SMME support programme that will focus on encouraging a culture of entrepreneurship in the Western Cape. The awards promote entrepreneurial activities through identifying, showcasing and recognising innovative entrepreneurs who have displayed excellence in various areas.

Along with this, the Minister of Finance, Economic Development & Tourism, Alan Winde, has actively been campaigning the Red Tape to Red Carpet Hotline which small businesses in the Western Cape can call to request assistance for their red tape-related issues or for any general information on starting and growing a business.

All this success is only possible through the ongoing support of, and positive interactions with, the Western Cape and international business community, the Western Cape Provincial Government, the City of Cape Town, and all our stakeholders.

WESTERN CAPE GOVERNMENT

MESSAGE OF SUPPORT

Exciting growth in store for 2013

“OVERALL, ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE WESTERN CAPE IS FORECAST TO AN AVERAGE 3.9 PERCENT BETWEEN 2012 AND 2017.”

This year we launched the Economic Development Partnership (EDP). The EDP is not a government agency but a crosssector partnership, incorporated as a non-profit company, aimed at collaboration among diverse organisations to address the problems of persistent poverty, inequality and unemployment. The guiding principle is to lead, co-ordinate and drive the Western Cape economic delivery system to higher levels of inclusive growth. We are confident that the EDP will spell a new and prosperous future for our province and its people.

In terms of the outlook for the Western Cape’s economy, as was the case in 2011, our economy is expected to continue growing faster than the national economy. However, the pace of growth in 2012 is forecast to ease, in line with the global and national outlook.

Overall, economic growth in the Western Cape is forecast to an average 3.9 percent between 2012 and 2017. This will be supported by growth in finance, real estate and business services, manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade, and the catering and accommodation sectors. From an export perspective, our economy remains more exposed to slower growth in Europe than the rest of the country.

At over 70 percent, the services sector now dominates the Western Cape economy.

Finance, insurance, real estate, business services, retail, wholesale, catering and accommodation, and the transport and communication sectors have shown rapid growth since 2000. The services sector is projected to lead the growth charge, with real GDPR annual growth of 4.1 percent.

Employment growth is projected at 2.1 percent.

Given the deep technological changes in the communications industry, this sector is again projected to be the fastest growing sub-sector in the province (with real value added growth forecast at 8.5 percent per annum).

Other services sub-sectors expected to continue doing well are business services (5.2 percent), catering and accommodation (4.4 percent), and the finance and insurance sector (4.2 percent).

Exciting opportunities are opening up in the oil and gas sector and the growth achievements and initiatives in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and Information

and Communication Technology (ICT) sectors are commendable.

Furthermore, the positive outlook for the tourism industry remains encouraging.

An expansion of export production remains an important growth engine for the Western Cape economy. The export of Western Cape goods has grown from R25.1b in 2001 to R54.7b in 2011, an annual compound growth rate of 9.3 percent, faster than that of South Africa which is estimated at 2 percent per annum between 2002 and 2011. Our most dominant trading partner is the European Union (EU), absorbing 37.4 percent of the Western Cape’s goods exports in 2011. Our second most important trading partners are the SADC countries, which absorb 14 percent of Western Cape goods exports. The key destinations are Angola, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe, which accounted for 78 percent of the Western Cape’s exports to SADC in 2011. The Western Cape ships a comparatively larger share of its exports to African countries, namely one quarter compared to only 17.5 percent in the case of South Africa. SADC remains the more important destination for Western Cape exports and we are pleased that growth in exports to these countries has accelerated in recent years.

While the Western Cape’s dominant export markets remain the EU and SADC, we are penetrating non-traditional markets such as the Commonwealth of Independent States, other Asia, the ASEAN bloc, and the BRIC economies on an increasing scale.

Over the next year, we will continue our efforts to grow the economy, create more job opportunities and attract even more investment to the Western Cape.

Publications like Top300 Western Cape are crucial in profiling our province and the numerous opportunities it offers. I trust that you will enjoy this year’s edition.

It is also a heartbeat away from Cape Town’s pulsing business centre, an easy stroll (or complimentary shuttle) to the famous Victoria & Alfred Waterfront with its myriad of world-class shops, restaurants, cinemas and colourful working harbour, or a short hop to Africa’s most beautiful beaches and the call of its lush and ancient winelands beyond. The state-of-the-art Cape Town International Convention Centre is a mere 5 minutes away. The Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront provides the finest service, setting and comfort, making your stay always one to remember and certainly one to repeat.

Unisa

68

Unisa is the largest open distance learning institution in Africa and the longest standing dedicated distance education university in the world.

Unisa enrolls nearly one-third of all South African students. Founded in 1873 as the University of the Cape of Good Hope, the institution became the first public university in the world to teach exclusively by means of distance education in 1946. Throughout the years, Unisa was perhaps the only university in South Africa to have provided all people with access to education, irrespective of race, colour or creed.

Given its rootedness in South Africa and the African continent, Unisa today can truly claim to be the African university in the service of humanity.

Northern Telecoms 100 Established in 1981 as a PABX and telecommunication company and virtually one of the first PABX dealers to receive a license to maintain and operate private PABX’s in South Africa.

A-Z LISTING OF TOP300 COMPANIES IN THE WESTERN CAPE

Top300 Western Cape – Research Criteria

The criteria for appearing in Top300 Western Cape were developed in partnership with the Cape Chamber of Commerce, the Western Cape Provincial Government, Accelerate and Wesgro.

Topco Media’s internal research department vetted a list of over 7 000 companies within the Western Cape and then focused extensive research on the resulting top 1 000.

In drawing up the criteria, cognisance was taken of the fact that the Western Cape is home to roughly 10 percent of South Africa’s population, contributes almost 15 percent of national output and attracts over 16 percent of the country’s foreign direct investment.

This stage of research resulted in a list of 350 companies, excluding parastatals, government agencies and structures, which was sent to our partners for final adjudication based on our criteria, to produce the final list, representing the Top 300 companies in the Western Cape.

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

The final criteria were drawn up and agreed upon between our partners, and included: • National turnover • Western Cape turnover as a percentage of national turnover or at least 20 percent of total national revenue • Number of employees in the Western Cape: at least 100 employees or 20 percent of total national workforce • Head office location and number of satellite offices in the Western Cape • Percentage of income from exports • Planned revenue growth over the next five years • Planned staff increase over the next five years • Peer consensus through feedback on top five competitors

Making a difference Through its work, Arup shapes a better world.

Founded in 1946 with an initial focus on structural engineering, Arup first came to the world’s attention with the structural design of the Sydney Opera House, followed by its work on the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Arup has since grown into a truly multidisciplinary organisation. Arup’s work for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and the 2012 Olympics in London, has reaffirmed its reputation for delivering innovative and sustainable designs that reinvent the built environment. Arup brings together broad-minded individuals from a wide range of disciplines and encourages them to look beyond the constraints of their own specialisms. This unconventional approach to design springs in part from Arup’s ownership structure. The firm is owned in trust on behalf of its staff. The result is an independence of spirit that is reflected in the firm’s work, and in its dedicated pursuit of technical excellence.

Alan Winde WC Mi n i s t e r o f F i n a n c e

The Western Cape’s economic outlook has gained positive results in the last financial reporting year, so we sent Shouneez Khan out to ask the Minister to talk us through some of the positive investments made and programmes implemented to ensure the province’s continued economic growth.

Who in your opinion are the top investors in the Western Cape region?

From 2009 to June 2012, the Western Cape attracted 80 international Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects with a total value of R30.1b. The top source markets for FDI into the Western Cape, in terms of share in the number of projects (from 2009 to June 2012) were the United Kingdom (15 projects), the United States (13 projects); France and Germany (nine projects each); and the Netherlands (six projects).

Africa is the Western Cape’s fastest growing export region (20 percent) followed by Asia at 10 percent and America at 7 percent.

SADC is by far the Western Cape’s largest trade partner in Africa accounting for 68 percent (R7.6b) and growth of 19 percent in 2010-201.

Western Cape trade with the rest of Africa is as follows: • West Africa: 18 percent (R2.1b) growth of 48 percent in 2010-2011 • East Africa: 8 percent (0.9b) growth of 6 percent in 2010-2011 • Northern Africa: 1.2 percent (R0.5b) growth of -54 percent in 2010-2011 • Middle Africa: 5 percent (R0.2b) growth of 32 percent in 2010-2011 What is the WC provincial government doing differently regarding economic development and tourism?

The Department of Economic Development and Tourism’s goal is to grow entrepreneurship, create the opportunities necessary for economic growth and job creation, provide skills development training and market our destination to investors and potential travellers.

The manner in which we do this differently is through innovation and seeking new solutions to old problems.

A crucial development in this regard was the launch of the Western Cape Economic Development Partnership (EDP) in April this year.

The EDP is not a government agency but a cross-sector partnership, incorporated as a non-profit company, aimed at collaboration among diverse organisations to address the problems of persistent poverty, inequality and unemployment. The guiding principle is to lead, co-ordinate and drive the Western Cape economic delivery system to higher levels of inclusive growth.

Another innovative programme is our ‘Red Tape to Red Carpet Strategy’ launched in August 2011. This strategy is designed to

30 ICON.indd 2

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

reduce red tape blockages in the economy so the region becomes an easy place to do business. A fully operational call centre has been established that allows members of the public to report red tape blockages, receive assistance from staff with an extensive network of contacts within government and private institutions and organisations and where the public can enquire about support services available to SMMEs. The call centre has recorded an 82 percent resolution rate. The Red Tape call centre number is 0861 888 126.

This year in an effort to further streamline functions associated with destination marketing, Wesgro became the province’s single trade, investment and tourism marketing agency. This will ensure better coordination of the Western Cape Government’s outward facing marketing initiatives, the optimisation of the Future Cape 2040 brand and the enhancement of the Western Cape’s image as a world-class business and tourism destination.

What projects are foreign investors investing in, in the Western Cape region? Are these projects aligned with strategic objectives?

The Western Cape’s software and IT services sector receives the largest number of investment projects from foreign investors. Other sectors are

2013

2013/02/15 4:03 PM

ALAN WINDE – INTERVIEW

business services, consumer products, communications, and hotels and tourism.

These are indeed aligned with our strategic objectives as these are sectors rich in terms of job-creation possibilities.

Does the ‘tourism marketing’ of the Western Cape contribute to the growth and re-development of the region?

Tourism currently contributes over 10 percent to the region’s GDP. We hope to grow this figure to 15 percent by 2015. Last year, the Western Cape garnered a number of international accolades including that Table Mountain was voted one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. This year, Cape Town was listed as one of the world’s most loved cities by CNN, and the world’s most watched news show. These international accolades have served to increase our exposure in markets across the world and make Cape Town and the Western Cape a must-see destination.

Wesgro, will continue to vigorously market the Western Cape as a tourist destination to both local and international tourists in order to reach the goal of 15 percent.

As the Minister of Economic Development & Tourism, do you firmly believe in the Future Cape Brand? Do you believe it’s a brand worth investing into?

Indeed. Future Cape 2040 is a strategic development process aimed at scoping a shared long-term economic vision and plan with Western Cape leaders from all sectors seeking buy-in towards achieving common goals with measurable objectives. The Future Cape 2040 vision emphasises the need for resilient and inclusive growth and the imperative to reach agreement on how to respond to the scourge of structural unemployment. The vision also emphasises the requirement to adapt to the scarcity of resources and to the environmental challenges of achieving sustainable growth in a way that will enhance competitiveness.

The Future Cape 2040 process and the City of Cape Town’s City Development Strategy have been incorporated in One Cape 2040, which is now referred to as an articulated vision called Towards 2040 – Unlocking our Potential. The relevant document is a statement of direction for the regional economy and does not pretend to be an overall development plan with detailed recommendations. The vision for 2040 is to have a highly-skilled, innovation-driven, resource-efficient, connected, high opportunity and collaborative society facing the challenge of creating a resilient, inclusive and competitive Western Cape with high rates of employment, growing incomes, greater equality and an improved quality of life for all our citizens and residents that addresses the crisis of joblessness, overcomes our legacy of skills and asset deficits and responds to environmental risk.

How important is it for Cape Town to evolve into a Smart City?

It is quite important, hence the Broadband Plan. We aim to create the largest mesh network in the world that will connect all households in Khayelitsha, Mitchell’s Plain and Saldanha Bay. What is the WC provincial government doing for entrepreneurship?

Eighty percent of new jobs globally are created by Small to Medium Size Enterprises (SMMEs). In South Africa, SMMEs contribute between 52 and 57 percent to the GDP and provide 61 percent employment.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of the economy. The Western Cape Government is determined to provide support that stimulates the growth of entrepreneurial activity in our province. We have set aside R53.5m during the current financial year for this very purpose.

SECTOR REPORTAGE

“Another innovative programme is our ‘Red Tape to Red Carpet Strategy’ launched in August 2011. This strategy is designed to reduce red tape blockages in the economy so that the region becomes an easy place to do business.”

We recently launched the Partnership Network which aims to provide support to SMMEs. Led by the Western Cape Government, the Partnership Network brings together under one umbrella three key small business support service providers in the Western Cape, namely: • Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) – with 3 offices and 12 Enterprise Development Centres located in strategic points across the province.

• The Business Place – located in Philippi, Cape Town CBD and Harare in Khayelitsha.

• The West Coast Business Development Centre – located in Saldanha with a satellite in Vredendal.

The co-ordination of these organisations will ensure that entrepreneurs and SMMEs in the Western Cape now have access to over 20 small business support centres. Through the centres, we are providing a bigger, better range of services including: • Business development support; • Access to industry support programmes; • Full diagnostics on new and existing enterprises; • Access to DTI incentives; • Co-operative support programmes; • Access to training; • Access to departmental programmes; and • Access to the SEDA Technology Programme.

It was suggested through a recent internal survey that the government should fervently implement a Department of Entrepreneurship, what are your thoughts on the matter?

Our strategic programme to support entrepreneurship in the Western Cape is located in the Department of Economic Development & Tourism.

While there is always room for improvement, our support to entrepreneurs has been largely effective in this arrangement.

What does the Western Cape offer?

The Western Cape offers vibrant cultural activities, including classical music and performance, contemporary art festivals, a very active nightlife, beach activities and water sports, outdoor sports and many other attractions for people who choose to live and work here. Having such lifestyle options available attracts young skilled professionals that help companies become dynamic market leaders.

How many ports are there in the province?

There are three ports in the province. These are Cape Town, Saldanha on the west coast and Mossel Bay on the south coast. The ports of Cape Town and Saldanha offer excellent shipping and cargo services, and Mossel Bay acts as a hub for the gas exploration industry operating off its shores. These ports are being further developed (to the tune of R4.2b in the case of Cape Town), to provide increased capacity and more services for the growing African oil and gas industry.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE ECONOMY OF THE WESTERN CAPE AND THE REGION’S EXPOSURE TO EXPORT PERFORMANCE AS A SOURCE OF GROWTH MEANS THAT THE OUTLOOK FOR THE WESTERN CAPE, COMPARED WITH THE REST OF SOUTH AFRICA, IS MORE VULNERABLE TO GLOBAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS OVER THE SHORT TERM. ALREADY THE SLOW GROWTH IN THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU) HAS CAUSED WESTERN CAPE EXPORTS TO GROW AT A SLOWER PACE THAN IN THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. COMPILED BY SHEENA ROBERTS

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

“EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES ARE OPENING UP IN THE OIL AND GAS SECTOR, AND THE GROWTH ACHIEVEMENTS AND INITIATIVES IN THE BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING AND INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) SECTORS ARE COMMENDABLE.”

Like the global economy, South African economic growth slowed down during 2012, extending the weaker growth recorded in the first quarter of 2012. The outlook for the Western Cape (WC) is relatively more positive. Growth in the province is expected to remain above that recorded nationally for 2013.

34

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

WC-sector focus.indd 4

However, the pace of economic growth in 2012 was forecast to ease in line with the global and national outlook. Overall, economic growth experienced in the province is forecast to average 3.9 percent between 2012 and 2017, supported by growth in the finance, real estate and business services, manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade, catering

and accommodation sectors. The Western Cape does, however, remain more exposed from a trade perspective, to a slower-growing Europe than the rest of the country, making the province’s economy more vulnerable if the euro-area recession is much deeper or longer than forecast.

It is expected that growth in the province will follow a similar trend to

that forecast for the national economy, i.e. a slight moderation in growth followed by a mild acceleration in growth during 2013 through to 2017.

Quantec/BER forecast that regional gross domestic product (GDPR), at basic prices, will rise to 3.6 percent during 2013.

Growth is likely to be supported by the finance, real estate and

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

WC-sector focus.indd 5

2013

35 2013/02/19 1:38 PM

business services sector (4.8 percent growth on average), which, although not the fastest growing sector over the period, remains the biggest contributor. Other sectors expected to contribute notably to GDPR growth are the retail and wholesale trade, catering and accommodation (3.5 percent), manufacturing (3 percent), and the transport, storage and communication sectors (5.1 percent).

DEVELOPMENT OF THE WESTERN CAPE ECONOMIC SECTORS Key findings: • The services sector, which accounts for close to three quarters of GDPR, experienced the most rapid growth during the 2000s and, in terms of employment, more than compensated for the steep job losses in the agricultural, manufacturing and construction sectors. The sector did not contract during the 2008/2009 recession.

• The skills intensity of the demand for labour does not match the semi- and unskilled nature of the labour supply. This and the subdued growth of the tradable-goods sectors, which typically provide semi- and unskilled job opportunities, add to unemployment, thus contributing to the phenomenon of “jobless growth”.

• Economic activity is geographically concentrated, with 87 percent of services GDPR, 85 percent of manufacturing and 60 percent of agricultural output generated in the Cape Metro and Cape Winelands districts. There is evidence of pockets of strength outside the City Central Business District, in both the manufacturing and services sectors, where growth and employment creation are more robust.

• The outlook for agriculture is positive in the context of a growing global food shortage, and widespread poverty and underdevelopment in Africa.

• The manufacturing sector is projected to grow at 3 percent per annum, which is higher than its trend growth rate over the 2000s but well below the growth in the previous business-cycle upswing.

• On a sub-sector level, the radio, TV and professional equipment, automotive, metals and machinery, and food and beverage sectors are projected to grow above the average (3.5 to 4.3 percent). Clothing, textiles and leather goods, furniture and petrochemicals are projected to grow around 3 percent, and the electrical machinery, non-metal minerals, and wood and paper products sectors are expected to lag behind the rest, with real value added growth of around 1.5 to 2 percent.

• The services sector is projected to lead the growth charge, with real GDPR annual growth of 4.1 percent. Employment growth is projected at 2.1 percent. Given the deep technological changes in the communications industry, this sector is again projected to be the fastest growing sub-sector in the province (with real value-added growth forecast at 8.5 percent per annum). Other services sub-sectors expected to continue doing well are business services (5.2 percent), catering and accommodation (4.4 percent), and the finance and insurance sector (4.2 percent). The projected growth of finance and

36

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

WC-sector focus.indd 6

insurance is below that achieved over the 2000s, which is to be expected in a global environment of financial deleveraging and in the local context of the National Credit Act putting a damper on credit utilisation.

• The outlook in some crosscutting sectors, prioritised by the Western Cape Government (WCG), is encouraging and an important part of the Western Cape economic growth dynamic.

Exciting opportunities are opening up in the oil and gas sector, and the growth achievements and initiatives in the business process outsourcing and information and communication technology (ICT) sectors are commendable. Furthermore, the positive outlook for the tourism industry remains encouraging.

• An expansion of export production remains an important growth engine for the province’s economy, which can be encouraged by the WCG through policy measures aimed at strengthening the supply side of export growth.

• The world’s developing and emerging market economies are outperforming the advanced economies from an economic growth perspective. The difference in growth performance has been accentuated in the aftermath of the global financial crisis.

Seventy percent of global economic growth is expected to come from emerging markets over the next few years, and the province should be ready to face this challenge and utilise the associated opportunities.

• The Western Cape has strong and stable trading relations with the EU, regarding exports and imports. Despite some key shifts, the EU remains the favourite export destination (absorbing close to 40 percent of the regional exports) and source market for imports (one fifth) across most industries.

• The growth of exports to the EU and other traditional trading partners, including the Southern African Development Community (SADC), over the 2000s has been below par.

• Non-traditional export destinations are gaining market share.

Export growth has been stronger to regions such as the newly industrialised countries (Nics); Brazil, Russia, India and China (Brics); “other Asia” (mainly China and India); the Associational Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) bloc, Middle East and North Africa (Mena), non-SADC Sub-Saharan African countries, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Latin America.

• In many instances growth is occurring from a low base but the regions listed here account for 31.2 percent of the Western Cape’s export destinations in 2011, which is about double the share in 2001. This development is of a bilateral nature, since the import share of these regions (excluding Mena) increased from 18.6 percent in 2001 to 36.7 percent in 2011.

• Seen within a national context, the shift to emerging economies has been less pronounced because the Western Cape does not produce bulk commodity exports on the scale that they are produced in South Africa’s mining provinces and exported to countries such as China.

• The province’s share of exports to the EU has remained relatively stable; 63 percent of the province’s exports to the region comprised agro-processing exports in 2011, an area in which it has a clear comparative advantage.

• Agricultural exports to the EU also appear to have been doing well during the global recession. While this comparative advantage suggests that the EU will remain a key market. There is evidence that even in this sector, the search for new markets is on.

Unpacking agriculture, forestry and fishing The agriculture, forestry and fishing sector is an important component of the economy in the Western Cape, not only for its direct contribution but also because of its important forward and backward interindustry linkages.

Directly, the sector contributed 4 percent (or R13.8b) to the Western Cape GDPR in 2010 and employed 6.5 percent of the regional workforce. When the inter-industry linkages are considered, the agro-industry can contribute as much as 10 to 12 percent of Western Cape GDPR. The key point about agriculture in the province is the fact that while the province accounts for 14.2 percent of national GDP (2010), the Western Cape agricultural sector accounts for 23.2 percent of

38 wc-agriculture.indd 2

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

national agricultural GDP. The province, therefore, has a revealed comparative advantage in agricultural economic activity.

The challenge • Job losses in the agricultural sector happened faster in the Western Cape than anywhere else in the country. The seasonal workers were the biggest losers in the job stakes. A 46 percent reduction of farm workers of 1.1 million in 2004 to 624 000 in 2011. Another reason for the decline is the fact that there is higher economic growth in the secondary and tertiary sectors of the economy. • Farmers across the country have collectively said it was time to reduce their dependence on farm workers as much as possible and

move towards a more mechanised way, like their US and Australian counterparts are doing. It is natural for agriculture to decline but not to become obsolete as the economies are modernising.

• To increase agricultural activities, farmers have to gain a more competitive edge in the global market by increasing export commodities and looking for new opportunities.

The potential • Global food shortage and widespread poverty on the African continent adds to the significance of this sector for the Western Cape.

• The Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations calculates that globally the demand for grains (wheat, rice and coarse grains) exceeded production by an average 15 million tonnes per annum over the period 2000-2008. The same body estimates that the world population will grow by over a third between 2009 and 2050, with nearly all this growth occurring in the developing countries of the world. Global food production needs to increase by 70 percent by the year 2050 in order to meet the demand generated by this rapid population growth (DEDaT, June 2011: 42).

• Combined with the impact of higher crude oil prices (increasing

food production costs) and the growth of the biofuels industry – this disproportionately impacts on food-importing countries and poor communities – it also presents an opportunity for producers and the authorities in developing countries, in particular, to respond.

FAST FACTS • The agricultural sector exports more than 30 percent of its annual production.

• The wine industry contributes nearly 50 percent of these exports, having increased its share from a mere 5.2 percent in 1992.

• In 2008, the Western Cape agricultural exports accounted for 45 percent (R27.8m) of national agricultural exports.

• Western Cape agricultural exports have grown strongly over the past decade; in real terms the annual compound rate of growth since 1995 has been 15.5 percent (DEDaT, June 2011: 41).

• The agricultural sector, including processed food and beverages, accounted for more than half of the cumulative real growth in aggregate Western Cape exports from 2000 to 2010, and is therefore by far the dominant export industry in the province.

MANUFACTURING

Growing the manufacturing sector During the years of economic expansion, growth approached the 4 percent level but contracted by 3.3 percent per annum (2008-2009) during the recession.

Manufacturing activity bounced back in 2010-2011 to 3.6 percent growth. A relatively strong recovery in the large food and beverages sector is notable, as well as the bounce-backs in the struggling non-metal minerals, and wood and paper sectors.

The challenge • About 63 590 jobs were lost in the manufacturing sector during 2000-2010 at an annual rate of 2.2 percent.

• No less than 60 percent of these job losses occurred during the recession and the first two years of economic recovery.

• The rate of retrenchment in the Western Cape manufacturing sector exceeded that in the rest of the country; the Western Cape manufacturing workforce shrunk by 25 percent between 2000 and 2010, while shrinkage in the rest of South Africa came to 10 percent (Municipal Economic Review and Outlook, 2012)

The potential The projected annual growth rates by sub-sector over the forecast period 2012-2017: • Overall, annual manufacturing real growth is projected to be 3 percent, which is slightly faster than the trend growth rate over the 2000s.

• The province is projected to grow by an annual average of 3.9 percent over the corresponding period.

• Sub-sectors projected to grow above average include the radio, TV and professional equipment sector (4.3 percent per annum, 2012 2017), the automotive sector (4 percent), metals and machinery (3.7 percent), and food and beverages (3.5 percent).

• Sub-sectors projected to grow close to the average, i.e. 3 percent per annum, include clothing and textiles, furniture and other industries and petrochemicals.

FAST FACTS • Close to 70 percent of manufacturing value added in the Western Cape is produced in the Cape Metropolitan area.

• Adding the Cape Winelands manufacturing brings the combined share of the two districts to 85 percent.

• In agriculture these two districts produce 60 percent of real GDPR and in services it is 87 percent.

• Close to two-thirds of the Winelands manufacturing sector consists of food, beverages and tobacco manufacturing, which is a mature industry and expanded by only 1.5 percent per annum over the 2000s.

• A district in which the manufacturing sector really underperformed is the West Coast.

SECTOR REPORTAGE

A robust business services sector The Western Cape’s services sector (ranging from the renting of transport equipment, machinery and household goods, to computer-related activities, research and development, and other business services such as legal, book-keeping and auditing services, tax consulting, market research and business consulting) remains the mainstay of the provincial economy. This broad sector accounts for 73 percent of value added in the province. It grew fastest over the 2000s (averaging 4.7 percent during 2000-2010) and created more than 260 000 jobs at a rate of 2.2 percent per annum.

The challenges • The recovery growth of the sector is somewhat muted due to a sustained slump in the communications sector and a relatively weak recovery in the financial and business sector.

• Retailing conditions are unlikely to reach the buoyancy they obtained during the 2004-2007 period due to the anticipated pressures on the consumer.

The potential • While other sectors such as retail and wholesale, transport and business services benefit from inward tourism (domestic and foreign travellers), the catering and accommodation sector will be a prime beneficiary.

42 wc-services.indd 2

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

• The retail and wholesale sector is projected to accelerate from its sluggish recovery in 2010/11 (2.8 percent per annum) and is expected to achieve average growth of 3.4 percent per annum over the forecast period. The community, social and personal services sector and the government are projected to expand close to their historical growth rates.

FAST FACTS • The services sector is the largest sub-sector, accounting for 30 percent of all services.

• Next in size is retail and wholesale (18.6 percent), followed by finance and insurance (14.4 percent), and government (13.9 percent).

• Adding social and personal services (7.1 percent) these sectors together added more than 260 000 jobs to the workforce over the past 12 years.

• The fastest-growing service sub-sector was communications (8.1 percent per annum), followed by finance and insurance (7 percent), business services (5.7 percent), catering and accommodation (4.4 percent), and retail and wholesale (4.3 percent).

• The sector created employment at a rate of 3.6 percent per annum, retail and wholesale, and the government at a rate of 2.6 percent, and community, social and personal services at a rate of 1.9 percent.

Exporting for growth Expanding the capacity to produce exports has a causal link with economic growth. A detailed analysis of the data on Western Cape exports with a special emphasis on the direction of trade, specifically the destination of exports and the shifts that can be detected in this regard, supports this link.

Although specialisation and trade (domestic and international) do not in themselves represent a dynamic theory of economic growth and the role of trade, it can be concluded that specialisation and the trading of a growing surplus of production can only be accommodated in an expanding market.

Applied to the Western Cape, the implication is clear. Growth in the province can be facilitated on the demand side of the growth equation by growth in output aimed at markets that are external to the region, that is, exports to other regions of South Africa and through exports, as conventionally understood, to foreign markets. Since the

44 wc-exporting.indd 2

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

global market is so much larger than the relatively small South African market, it stands to reason that growth in production to be sold abroad through exports, although a more difficult exercise, provides much more growth potential than production to be sold in the rest of South Africa, thus providing growth opportunities for the province and, ultimately, South Africa.

The challenges • Developing a regional awareness among firms of the contribution that selling abroad can make to profitability and company growth, as well as marketing the region as a source of quality. • Export producers, having identified markets, depend on the availability of skilled workers and adequate infrastructure to produce for these markets. • Investment in human capital by developing worker skills.

SINCE THE GLOBAL MARKET IS SO MUCH LARGER THAN THE RELATIVELY SMALL SOUTH AFRICAN MARKET, IT STANDS TO REASON THAT GROWTH IN PRODUCTION TO BE SOLD ABROAD THROUGH EXPORTS, PROVIDES MUCH MORE GROWTH POTENTIAL THAN PRODUCTION TO BE SOLD IN THE REST OF SOUTH AFRICA.

From a sector point of view, once the importance of export oriented growth is realised, attention should focus on the development of industries that produce tradable products, that is, products (services and goods) that are traded across borders.

• As far as borders are concerned, it would be appropriate to distinguish between regional and national borders – a distinction that should become clear when reflecting on the Western Cape sector development.

The potential • A need exists to expand the export base of the province to include a greater contribution of non-traditional, manufactured goods.

• Grow exports to the rest of Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

Diversification in this sense, however, does not mean that existing markets and exports products should be neglected.

Every effort should be made to expand the export production of both unprocessed and processed agriculture products.

• These products may even prove to be the gateway to market diversification, especially in view of the fact that countries in Asia with their large populations and income growth cannot produce

sufficient food to satisfy the growing demand. The growth in wine exports to China in recent years illustrates how an expansion of exports can be absorbed in a new market, which means that an existing lead to export products can serve the goal of market diversification without neglecting traditional markets.

FAST FACTS • A new reality has developed in the global economy, the reality that 70 percent of global growth over the next few years will come from emerging markets.

• The emerging markets share of global GDP has increased from 36 percent in 1980 to 45 percent in 2008, and is projected to increase to 51 percent by 2014 (CDE, March 2012: 4-5).

• New and wealthier consumers will be located in increasing numbers in emerging markets.

• UNCTAD (May 2011) reports that for the first time in history inward FDI to developing and transition economies exceeded that to advanced economies in 2010.

• Transnational corporations in search of expanding markets and production efficiencies are increasingly investing in emerging markets.

Communications “We live in a connected world that has gone far beyond simple one-to-one communications between individuals,” says Anthony Doman, deputy editor of Popular Mechanics and seasoned media man.

“Today, constant multi-way conversation spans friends (real and virtual), family, e-commerce and even home appliances and cars.

Information is the currency driving this – hence the boom in the communications sector, with its tools being the ready availability of cheap data and the growing spread and speed of the Internet, some of this being pushed strongly by government as we see the development of the information society giving rise to a knowledge economy.”

The communications sector has grown rapidly over the last decade and become a cornerstone in the Western Cape economy. The forecasted growth is 8.5 percent per annum. The creativity of the human capital is part of the wealth of this sector. There is great power in knowledge, and staying innovative is key in allowing us to compete economically in the global village.

Real estate The real-estate industry has experienced a boom of note in the last decade, even during the economic downturn. The Western Cape has outshined and outperformed the other eight provinces, attracting regional, domestic and international buyers, including first-time home buyers.

The province is seen as a great lifestyle area, which is a key draw card for attracting a skilled labour force.

Environmental friendliness and ‘going green’ are important areas to develop, as a way to keep attracting an inward migration, brain gain and the financial purchasing power that contributes to the regional overall economy. Education is factor when purchasing property, as the province boasts the best performing educational system in comparison to the other provinces.

The Western Cape’s green lifestyle is seen as an important factor to a good-quality life, as opposed to Gauteng’s main attraction of being the biggest economy domestically and on the African continent.

South Africa has performed exceptionally well in the global realestate market, especially in comparison to Europe and the US during the recent global crisis. Direct foreign investment is a great spin-off from the World Cup, which has impacted positively on the real-estate market by attracting foreign investment to our beautiful shores.

WC-OTHER SECTORS1.indd 4

Finance and insurance The Western Cape is seen as the stronghold of the finance and insurance sector, as the presence is stronger here than anywhere else in South Africa. The sector has experienced a steady, continuous growth, even through an economic global recession that is now in recovery. The financial sector is not only an infrastructural sector but also plays a key role in the Western Cape economy, contributing quite significantly to South Africa’s GDP on the whole.

Even though the finance and insurance sector has bloomed over the last few years, the employment rate has been stagnant due to the fact that the development of this highly skill-intensive industry, especially at managerial and professional levels, remains a constraint.

Subsequently, this has a direct impact on the skilled labour, which in turn has a direct effect on the local and domestic economies.

The finance and insurance sector has contributed an impressive 15 percent to the Western Cape economy alone – a remarkable feat, especially in the cautious, recovering economic climate of today.

Different aspects of the sector are recognised by global competitive studies, including the International Monetary Fund.

A projected growth for the financial sector is 6 percent per annum, higher than previously expected. South Africa is known to have one of the most mature financial industries in the world. Competing in the international economic arena, knowing we have a well-regulated, well-developed financial sector that compares favourably with industrialised nations.

The province’s economy proves that the ground is very fertile for more than just the financial sector.

Oil and gas The Western Cape is positioned as a major hub in the oil and gas industry.

The Chevron Refinery is based in Milnerton. The Petroleum Agency of South Africa (PetroSA) maintain six tanks, 1.19 million cubic metres each, at the largest oil-storage facility in Saldanha. PetroSA also has a gas-to-liquid refinery in Mossel Bay. The anticipated development of an offshore supply base, and an oil and gas industrial development zone in Saldanha Bay is expected to catalyse development in the sector, as is the redevelopment of the Port of Cape Town in collaboration with key partners across all spheres.

The continual rise of the price of oil per barrel has increased

exploration and production globally. The Gulf of Guinea, in West Africa, has not let this lucrative opportunity pass by. The fact that South Africa, through the Western Cape, has positioned itself to capture market share from increased exploration and production activity, it too shouldn’t let the opportunities slip by.

US$15b is going into the development of the Gulf of Guinea.

The Western Cape has captured 1 percent of the market share – therein lies huge opportunities. The province has the strategic and infrastructural advantage to capitalise on the opportunity to handle the exploration and production activity. The unique capabilities make it competitive and offer specialised services, e.g. servicing dynamic thruster propulsion systems for ships at the two deep-water ports, Cape Town and Saldanha Bay. Part of the constraints and challenges are the efficiency of the ports; knowledge of the industry has to change, as well as the mindsets of the stakeholders. Highly skilled and specialised artisans are needed to work on ship repair and boat building; colleges are not producing the skills set needed. The volatility of the rand’s exchange rate creates havoc on export sector.

Companies in the industry are optimistic as to the employment creation and growth factor.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) The future of ICT is bright and shiny because it is one the fastest-growing sectors in the Western Cape. ICT offers exciting opportunities for business and development. The Western Cape Provincial Government sees this sector as one of the key growth areas. What makes the environment fertile and ripe for the present and forecasted growth are the combination of creative minds and modern electronic communications technology to bring South Africa and the world closer together.

Jenny McKinnell, executive director of Cape Information Technology Initiative (CITI), a major roleplayer in the ICT sector in the Western Cape, sums it up: “The Western Cape has a highly networked, innovative, entrepreneurial IT start-up community. The combination of our four universities, two business schools and two medical schools; regional strengths in film, design, multimedia, financial services, asset management and retail; as well as an established cluster of mobile application and mobile payments companies, remote sensoring and M2M [machine-to-machine] communications devices; and innovative software development houses, makes us a highly innovative tech and design region.”

Growth has been between 5 and 6 percent over the 2011-2012 financial year. It is expected to grow at a reasonable rate of 5 percent per annum.

The ICT sector is a challenging one because of its transient nature and the short lifespan of technology. The leaders in this specialised sector have to continue pushing boundaries to stay innovative, creative and on top of their game, locally as well as internationally.

“THE COMMUNICATIONS SECTOR HAS GROWN RAPIDLY OVER THE LAST DECADE AND BECOME A CORNERSTONE IN THE WESTERN CAPE ECONOMY. THE FORECASTED GROWTH IS 8.5 PERCENT PER ANNUM.”

“THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF THE LARGEST SUBSECTOR IN THE PROVINCE PROVIDES REAL VALUE-ADD AND EMPLOYMENT.”

It’s exciting to know that the ICT sector will continue to grow due to the unique advantages specific to South Africa as well as the African continent. We are on par with Israel in the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions, and next to Australia and India globally.

Food and beverages The food and beverage (agro-processing) industry in the Western Cape enjoys key competitive advantages, considering the distribution of these industries at a national level. The economic value of the largest sub-sector in the province provides real value-add and employment.

The food and beverage sector has strong forward linkages in the tourism, retail, and catering and accommodation sectors in the Western Cape.

Huge, fast-growing and developing nations like China and India present lucrative markets for exporting products that they are not able to produce themselves. Goods like wine, jam, and dried and canned fruits are key products for export.

The agricultural processing industry is already well established and able to accommodate the new trends in the global food chain.

The challenge is to capitalise fully on these trends. Because of the powerful backward linkages in the agriculture sector, water shortages and climate change could threaten the sector. This is where the industry has to be creative and innovative with regards to overcoming these challenges.

The agriculture and agro-processing sectors will always be important and valuable to the provincial economy as well as its export profile. As the domestic economy strengthens, so will the demand increase for the products.

Automotive The automotive industry has experienced a growth spurt in the increased sales of domestic vehicles.

Lower interest rates, a highly competitive trading environment, as well as great incentives and the introduction of new, affordable vehicles make for a buyer’s market.

“Despite the ongoing and wide-ranging effects of the global economic meltdown, there are signs of a cautiously upbeat mood in the local automotive industry,” says Anthony Doman, who has extensive experience and understanding of the media and automotive industries. “Passenger car sales are up. Contributing factors include greater availability of keenly priced ‘developing world’ cars aimed at an emerging black middle class seeking personal transport, and generally favourable financing options with stable, moderate interest rates. Worryingly, though, the effects of a lack of business confidence in the country are evident in the slump in sales of commercial vehicles, generally a reliable indicator of economic health.”

Despite the signs of weakness in the national economy, the South African automotive industry has shown continued growth. Financial institutions have made it their business to increase consumer spending by making it easier to gain access to finance. A steady growth in the sector will continue well beyond 2012, as car sales increase.

“DESPITE THE ONGOING AND WIDERANGING EFFECTS OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC MELTDOWN, THERE ARE SIGNS OF A CAUTIOUSLY UPBEAT MOOD IN THE LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY,” SAYS ANTHONY DOMAN.

CYCLICAL SERVICES/RETAIL/RETAILERS – E-COMMERCE SERVICES INTERVIEW

Online dynasty INTERVIEW WITH DANIEL GUASCO AND WAYNE GOSLING JOINT CEO’s

Contact details: +27 (0)21 401 0630, Email: info@groupon.co.za or visit: www.groupon.co.za What business are you in?

Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) is a global leader in local commerce, making it easy for people around the world to search and discover great businesses at unbeatable prices. Groupon is reinventing the traditional small business world by providing merchants with a suite of products and services, including customisable deal campaigns, credit card payments processing capabilities and point-of-sale solutions to help them attract more customers and run their operations more effectively.

By leveraging the company’s global relationships and scale, Groupon offers consumers incredible deals on the best stuff to eat, see, do, and buy in 48 countries.

With Groupon, shoppers discover the best a city has to offer with Groupon Local, enjoy vacations with Groupon Getaways, and find a curated selection of electronics, fashion, home furnishings and more with Groupon Goods.

Biography Daniel Guasco and Wayne Gosling co-founded Twangoo, which is now known as Groupon South Africa.

Groupon is the fastest growing internet company in history.

What makes Groupon such a phenomenon is the use of collective buying power that provides a winwin for businesses and consumers, delivering more than 1 000 daily deals globally.

What are your competitive advantages?

As a member of the Groupon family we have the support and backing of our international colleagues. Now operating in 48 countries, we are able to share strategies and campaigns that have worked all around the globe. A key focus area that has helped us succeed is our customer’s well-being, it is important that we ensure customer satisfaction to ensure this continued rapid growth online. It’s about owning the trust, from the start to finish of the deal. We believe the key to our success is because we offer our customers a safe platform, greater choice and attractive deals in a growing market like South Africa.

Tell us about your strategy that differentiates your business from competitors in the same industry?

We keep our focus on maintaining the high quality of our deals and enhancing the customer and business experience with new features. For us traditional forms of local advertising (newspapers, radio, etc.) are far more significant competitors. On the surface, other deal sites are the same, but there’s a huge difference in quality.

We have worked hard to create a brand that is more of a city guide than a deal site.

The discount is a nudge for subscribers to try something new and the demographic profile of our customer is highly attractive and appealing to advertisers. Our research shows that Groupon customers typically spend more than the value of the Groupon (for restaurants, 60 percent more) and are an incredible source for new customers and an opportunity for repeat business. We do our research to make sure the businesses we work with are outstanding brands. Groupon continues to see year-onyear growth, has 200 million subscribers worldwide and its goods business which is just over a year old has a $1.5-billion revenue rate.

Groupon is a global leader in local commerce and makes it easy for people around the world to search and discover great businesses at unbeatable prices.

What are your plans for the future of Groupon South Africa?

Groupon SA’s future strategy is to grow and build our travel category, with a strong focus for product categories. At the same time, we hope to expand and grow the existing categories as well. We are on a big drive to promote all of our city deals and focusing on local deals and experiences is a trend which can be noted internationally. In South Africa, the beauty and wellness sector of Groupon continues to be our most popular category, which is in line with the rest of the world.

“IT’S ABOUT OWNING THE TRUST, FROM THE START TO FINISH OF THE DEAL. WE BELIEVE THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS IS BECAUSE WE OFFER OUR CUSTOMERS A SAFE PLATFORM, GREATER CHOICE AND ATTRACTIVE DEALS IN A GROWING MARKET LIKE SOUTH AFRICA.”

Stretching to the far reaches of Asia and rebounding to our very own doorstep, new financial centres are emerging to challenge the old order of London-New York dominance.

The Brics – Brazil, Russia, India, China and new member South Africa – are at the head of this development. But by no means are they the only emerging markets to turn investors’ heads. Many happen

to be in our own neighbourhood.

For the Western Cape with its export-oriented economy, the emergence of African economies from decades of stagnation is especially exciting. As traditional trading partners such as the European Union and the US struggle to shake off the effects of recession, previously ignored countries are now rising in importance.

The process is being hastened by the need for Western capital to find alternatives to the moribund economies of Europe and the US. “People are looking to emerging markets to pull them out of the mess,” says Simon Freemantle, asenior analyst at the Africa Political Unit of Standard Bank Research. “It’s important that South African enterprises recognise this and grab the opportunity this represents.”

Freemantle notes that Africa’s youthful population is another factor in its favour. The ‘youth curve’ that helped drive China’s economy is now manifesting in Africa, which is hitting the sweet spot where young people outnumber the elderly and children, two groups that do little to contribute to productivity.

In 1950, for instance, Nigeria had half the population of the US;

THE TRADITIONAL ROADSIDE MARKET IS NO LONGER ENOUGH TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ASPIRANT CONSUMERS, WHETHER IT’S FOR A PAIR OF LEVI’S JEANS OR PACKAGED READY-TO-EAT MEALS.

by 2050 Nigeria’s population will have overtaken that of the US to reach an astounding 400 million people. For exporters, it’s a market waiting to happen. In November last year Nigeria joined the JP Morgan Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets, only the second African country to do so after South Africa.

Long associated with the corruption of its oil-dependent economy, Nigeria is in the process of reforming its energy sector and cleaning up its graft-ridden civil service. Soon, it is expected to overtake South Africa as the continent’s largest economy.

Powering ahead The rapid growth in population, once viewed with Malthusian gloom, may be the continent’s biggest asset. With more people has come a growing middle class, which, as a percentage of the population, has advanced steadily. In 1980, 111 million or 26 percent of the continent’s population fell in this category, rising to 151.4 million or 27 percent of the population in 1990, with a further surge to 196 million in 2000 and a dramatic increase to 313 million in 2010, equating to 34.3 percent of the population (African Development Bank, 2011). The rise in absolute numbers has been more dramatic, compared to the percentage rise, and this is best explained by the increase in population with Africa having hit the 1 billion population mark in 2010.

Six out of the world’s 10 fastest growing economies are now in Africa, and some 300 million people are now regarded as consumers, according to the African Development Bank.

The traditional roadside market is no longer enough to meet the needs of aspirant consumers, whether it’s for a pair of Levi’s jeans or packaged ready-to-eat meals. Customers want to shop in airconditioned comfort and are not content to slog through mud-splattered streets with chickens scattering in their path.

“People in retail have been talking about Africa for some time now,” says Gareth Pearson, CEO of BMi Research, based in Johannesburg.

“But now they are making the move.”

Familiar brands such as Clicks, Edgars, Game, Jet and Mr Price are competing with each other north of the Limpopo as they have done for years on their home turf of South Africa. So are OK, Pep, Pick n Pay, Shoprite, Spar, Truworths, Tuskys and Woolworths.

“The African consumer now has spending power and he wants to use it on brands. He wants the choice,” Pearson says. And that choice, typically, is found in a dedicated retail space that is specifically designed around the needs of the leisure consumer.

He notes that it is now possible to buy Western Cape wines in retail stores across the continent. “The taste is for Cape table wines among the new class of consumer. It’s not cheap either, because bottled wine is usually moved by truck from South Africa up north. But people want it, so retailers make sure it’s available.”

60

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

WC-3rd world no more.indd 6

As economies above the Limpopo begin to grow, so their barriers against trade are beginning to relax in response to growing demand for imported goods. For the Western Cape’s struggling textile industry, this is good news.

“Before 2010 Nigeria had a virtual ban on imported clothing, which inhibited major retailors from entering the country,” says Michael Chu’di Ejekam, a director at Actis, a London-based private-equity firm with substantial African commercial-property investments. “Since the lifting of the law that year we have seen a major increase in retail activity.”

The relaxing of restrictions has led to a flood of South African retailers, especially clothing chains, into Nigeria.

Mr Price, Foschini and Truworths are among those now taking space in shopping centres that are springing up all over Lagos as a result.

“The entrance of these companies brings the mix in a mall closer to 40 percent retail, which is expected,” explains Ejekam.

Beyond the Brics It’s the Brics that get all the attention, but they are by no means the only emerging economies to be worth taking note of. “The United Arab Emirates [UAE] is especially important in this respect because it is rolling out some big projects that require outside expertise,” says Dr Lyal White, director of the Centre for Dynamic Markets at the University of Pretoria’s Gordon Institute for Business Science.

A casual glance at the well-stocked shelves of supermarkets in the UAE reveals common South African brands ranging from Bokomo rusks to Koo baked beans. The oil-rich country is also a well-established destination for some of South Africa’s biggest firms, such as Aveng and Murray & Roberts.

White points to what he calls ‘second-tier emerging markets’ – countries such as South Korea, Turkey and Indonesia that are becoming powerhouses in their own right. All too often they are discounted but he notes, Turkish investment in Africa is almost on a par with that of Brazil.

Caveats abound It’s not all sunny skies, however. The anchors of the world economy, the US and the EU, remain mired in debt and low growth. The EU’s woes are particularly worrisome for South Africa, as the EU is its largest trading partner. The Eurozone’s debt crisis, which the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) calls the biggest threat to world financial stability, has hit South Africa especially hard. The slowdown in exports has shaved almost a percent off South Africa’s GDP, the OECD noted recently.

Although the US has shown signs of recovering from its post-boom hangover, it still faces the ‘fiscal cliff’, which, if it materialises, could push the global economy into recession. Unless a bitterly divided Congress can agree to a new round of debt and tax concessions, the world’s

“WHILE THE WESTERN CAPE’S DOMINANT EXPORT MARKETS REMAIN THE EU AND SADC (SOUTHERN AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY), WE ARE PENETRATING NONTRADITIONAL MARKETS SUCH AS THE COMMONWEALTH OF INDEPENDENT STATES, THE ASEAN BLOC AND BRIC ECONOMIES ON AN INCREASING SCALE,” WINDE SAYS.

biggest economy will grind to a standstill and bring everyone else to a halt with it.

Resource nationalism is the threat from within. As emerging markets become destinations for resource investors, they are raising taxes and demanding a larger share of the spoils.

Tension between growing economies that see each other as competitors can also produce unexpected growth inhibitors. China, in particular, has come in for harsh words. Cheap goods from China were one of the largest external factors inhibiting the exploitation of the manufacturing sector in South Africa, said Stewart Jennings, chair of the Manufacturing Circle, in November last year. As a result, local businesses are clamouring for ever-higher tariff walls against imports.

Others, however, believe competitive imports can only lead to more emerging-market growth.

“Chinese products do not only take jobs, they also create them,” says Bill Janeri, general manager for developing markets at Global Sources, a global trade-fair organisation that brought the China Sourcing Fair trade exhibition to Johannesburg at the end of last year.

“Products made in China need people to sell them to consumers.

These are usually local people who understand their market. By creating middlemen in target countries, Chinese manufacturers are also generating entrepreneurs,” he says.

Emerging markets, Janeri notes, have far more to gain working with each other than if they viewed competing countries as threats. “For countries to grow they have to build. And to build they need material – lots of it. Often the best way to get it is to import. This creates a cycle of growth that benefits everyone.”

WESTERN CAPE GROWTH TO POWER AHEAD The fairest Cape has weathered the economic crisis better than the rest of the country and has emerged ready to take advantage of growing opportunities in emerging markets to the north.

The Western Cape economy will grow an average 3.9 percent between 2012 and 2017, said Alan Winde, the province’s Minister of Finance, Economic Development and Tourism in his recent budget address.

The economy remains more exposed to slower growth in Europe than the rest of the country, with the European Union (EU) taking 37.4 percent of the Western Cape’s goods exports in 2011, Winde noted. But altogether exports have grown from R25.1b in 2001 to R54.7b in 2011, an annual compound growth rate of 9.3 percent – that’s faster than that of South Africa as a whole, which advanced two percent per annum during the same period.

As an indication of the province’s maturing economy, services now contribute more than 70 percent towards its GDP. Although agriculture, once the mainstay of the region, remains important, it is making room for sectors such as finance, insurance and property. Business services, retail, wholesale, catering and accommodation, transport, and communication are also gaining ground.

Trade with emerging economies in the region and beyond is expanding rapidly. “While the Western Cape’s dominant export markets remain the EU and SADC [Southern African Development Community], we are penetrating non-traditional markets such as the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Asean bloc and Bric economies on an increasing scale,” Winde says.

Employment, however, remains a concern. “Unfortunately, the skills intensity of the demand for labour does not match the semiand unskilled nature of the labour supply. The relatively slower growth of the tradable-goods sectors, which typically absorb semiand unskilled labour, consequently adds to unemployment. This mismatch underlies the phenomenon of ‘jobless growth’. From last year little has changed regarding this structural imbalance in the regional economy,” he says.

A few sectors do show promise of taking up some of the slack in the labour force. The most exciting is the unfolding oil-and-gas sector; Cape Town is becoming a regional hub for repair and maintenance of rigs that are operating off the west and east coast of Africa. In 2012 more than 5 800 jobs were created in this arena.

“The Western Cape has all the right features in place to become the oil-and-gas hub for Africa. This is our firm goal,” says Winde.

“The sector has enormous potential to contribute to the growth of the Western Cape economy and create job opportunities for the citizens of our province.”

Perhaps the Cape’s biggest advantage is the appeal of its coastline, Winelands and cosmopolitan lifestyle, drawing a steady stream of skilled people into its thriving IT sector. This is a trend that is likely to continue as the province attracts young, smart, educated people to its beaches and wine estates. FNB’s Home Loans Property Barometer shows the province consistently outperforms others when it comes to luring buyers from elsewhere.

“THE AESTHETIC BEAUTY, LIFESTYLE, INTERNATIONAL PROFILE AND RELATIVE AFFORDABILITY CONTINUE TO UNDERPIN STABILITY AND ENHANCE GROWTH, WHICH WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE ITS UPWARD TRAJECTORY OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS.”

Could South Africa’s real estate sector be the turnaround king? This sector is one of the best-performing sectors within the Western Cape economy. Let’s take a look at how this sector has performed over the past financial year and forecast performance for the next five-year period.

South Africa’s real estate sector is worth an estimated R4.9-trillion and contributes almost 10 percent of the country’s GDP. However, Samuel Seeff, Chairman of Seeff Property Services, says South Africa’s GDP needs to grow significantly before the real-estate sector sees convincing growth. “Following the introduction of the National Credit Regulator (NCR) in 2007 and the global economic crisis of 2008, sales volumes across the Cape Metropolitan area just about halved. There was a mini recovery in 2010, largely on the back of positive sentiment around the 2010 World Cup, but by early 2011 it was evident that high price expectations on the part of sellers were holding back volumes.

“The year 2012 has been a better, with more robust trade, predominantly in the sub-R1.5m sector, but Seeff has sold a number of high-value properties above the R20m mark, mostly on the Atlantic Seaboard,” he says. “This year has also seen sellers adjusting to the new pricing realities, which has seen more high-deals coming through, but no real fireworks as yet. Buyers are taking their time and properties still spend twice as long on the market as they used to.

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

WC-real estate1.indd 3

2013

65 2013/02/14 4:40 PM

“It is now five years on from the introduction of the NCR in 2007 and there is still no real recovery on the horizon. Having said this, it remains business as usual for the industry. It is just that a new ‘normal’ has set in, where the challenges that face the property market have become the norm that we have to deal with,” says Seeff.

Dr Andrew Golding, Chief Executive of the Pam Golding Property Group, concurs: “Although economic conditions remain challenging, the ‘shock’ of a recessionary climate is abating to some extent as people become accustomed to the new norm and once again start to focus on their changing needs.

“In the Cape Town Metropole there has been an improvement in sales turnover in respect of increased value of property sold from [2011] to [2012] to date,” he says. “This is due to a number of factors, including a noticeable increase in middle-market activity (R1.5m to R4.5m) and upper middle market (R4.6m to R10m), as well a number of sales at the very top end of the luxury market (R25m to R50m).”

Sectional title sales in recession-resistant markets (Atlantic Seaboard, City and City Bowl) have increased, and there has been an improvement in the sale of units in new developments, mostly completed, which indicates that buyers are prepared to pay a (moderate) premium for new and modern.

“There has also been a significant increase in the holiday-home market, driven by the excellent value offered along the West Coast as the result of the bearish conditions in this market over the past five years,” says Golding.

Seeff says that, aside from residential buying, the Cape Metropole is popular for second homes, holiday homes and investment homes, with a healthy short-term rental market, especially along the coastal belts and in the CBD, owing to demand from CTICC visitors. “The Cape Metropolitan remains a strong property market with the propensity for significant capital growth. History shows that property values in areas such as the Atlantic Seaboard and even in Constantia and Bishopscourt have retained their values during the economic downturn.

66

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

WC-real estate1.indd 4

2013

2013/02/14 4:42 PM

“This year, 20 residential properties have already been sold in the price band of R20m and above (all on the Atlantic Seaboard – in Fresnaye, Clifton and Bantry Bay), with the highest prices ranging from R30m to R50m. In contrast, only two residential properties priced above R20m have sold in the Johannesburg area – both in Hyde Park, with R22m being the highest price paid,” says Seeff.

The fact that the city is well marketed by Cape Town Tourism means there is an awareness – both within the country and abroad – not only of the city as the country’s top city brand, but also of leisure offerings.

“Cape Town is highly sought after by visitors and buyers alike, including the wealthy from Johannesburg, South African expats and foreign buyers, especially in the UK and Europe, while interest from Africa’s oilrich countries is growing, e.g. Nigeria and Angola.”

So when are we likely to see an uptick in the property market? Says Seeff: “Quite frankly, it’s difficult to say, as we are simply in uncharted territory. Much depends on the macro-economy and how this unfolds.

Once the economy picks up, we should start seeing more demand for property, especially at the top end of the market. Much of the ‘old stock’ will then clear out and we will see some new properties coming in. Once there is new stock and robust demand, prices will start climbing and we will see a return to what we would view as normal trading conditions. But right now this still seems about 18 months away, provided that economic growth levels normalise.”

Golding says that, even though the global recessionary climate, limitation of mortgage finance availability, South Africa’s political scenario and security concerns are all challenges on the downside, the Cape remains a favourite. “The aesthetic beauty, lifestyle, international profile and relative affordability continue to underpin stability and enhance growth, which we expect to continue its upward trajectory over the next 12 months.”

Andrew Boraine, Chief Executive of the Cape Town Partnership and Convener of the Western Cape Economic Development Partnership (EDP), says the formal economic-growth forecast for the province for

“CAPE TOWN IS HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER

BY VISITORS AND BUYERS ALIKE, INCLUDING THE WEALTHY FROM JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICAN EXPATS AND FOREIGN BUYERS, ESPECIALLY IN THE UK AND EUROPE, WHILE INTEREST FROM AFRICA’S OIL-RICH COUNTRIES IS GROWING, E.G. NIGERIA AND ANGOLA.”

the next five years is 3.9 percent (Provincial Review and Outlook, 2012).

“The issue is not so much how we are doing compared with other provinces and the national average – we are slightly above – but how we are doing in relation to our main global competitors. In this regard, there is much room for improvement.

“The Western Cape EDP is in the process of compiling a regional economic performance index to measure the state of our regional business and investment climate, in order to better identify where improvements can be made in terms of the level of competitiveness, as well as the inclusivity and resilience of the economy.”

Few universities have a student profile as dynamic and diverse as Unisa’s, whether seen from the perspective of race, gender, age, nationality or occupational status. Traditionally, working adults have made up the majority of Unisa’s student numbers, however in recent years, the institution has attracted a growing number of post-matric students.

In terms of race and gender, Unisa’s student profile increasingly reflects South African demographics. Women currently account for slightly more than 55 percent of total registrations, while black students (Africans, Coloureds and Indians) make up 73 percent.

Geographical distribution Geographically, South Africa continues to be the main source of registrations, but Unisa is attracting growing numbers of students from outside the country’s borders as a result of the university’s strengthened African orientation.

The university has established seven regions to ensure the consistency of access and services across the entire country. Each region has a hub that is located in the area.

Western Cape Region The Cape Town Campus is the hub of the Western Cape region, both in terms of student numbers and facilities available. The region also has a service centre in George, offering a limited but wide-ranging bouquet of services.

Designing a AT FIRST GLANCE, CAPE TOWN’S TITLE OF WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL 2014 MIGHT HOLD AS MUCH WEIGHT AS BEING VOTED THE FRIENDLIEST CITY: NICE TO HAVE BUT WITH LIMITED LEVERAGING POTENTIAL. BUT THIS ASSUMPTION IGNORES THE POWER OF DESIGN AS A SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SOLUTION. BY ANNALIZE ROSSOUW

In 2011, when Cape Town was crowned World Design Capital for 2014 (WDC2014), it became the first African city to get the nod from this prestigious initiative created by the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design.

“The aim of the WDC event is to highlight how design can be used for social, economic and cultural development,” explains

Gillian Benjamin, board member of the WDC2014 implementation company Cape Town Design and owner of design studio Make Content.

“We need people to move away from the notion of design being object-based, like a beautifully designed dress, a slick phone or a streamlined car. The underlying aim of the WDC designation is to get people to understand how design can improve everyday life and to broaden peoples’ notion to include the design of processes and services.”

To illustrate this, she points out that using limited available resources to design a new administration process for clinic patients could eliminate the need for taking a day off work just to see a doctor. “If this process can be rethought and an improvement made that makes life easier for sick patients, then design has been used in a small way to transform life.”

She adds that innovative thinking could also shape the country’s economic future. For instance, not being able to compete with countries like China has decimated South Africa’s textile industry. But by growing the country’s ‘knowledge economy’, raw products could be beneficiated to add value to our manufacturing and export industries, and to create employment.

“A crucial element of WDC2014 is to promote Cape Town as a destination for design and innovation excellence, specifically in the emerging-market domain, where we face challenges related to rapid

DESIGNING A WORLD CAPITAL

world capital

It’s all about the people Cape Town was up against developed cities such as Dublin, Ireland, and Bilbao, Spain, on the shortlist for the WDC2014 title. So what gave Cape Town the edge?

Bulelwa Makalima-Ngewana is managing director of the Cape Town Partnership, the organisation responsible for having co-ordinated Cape Town’s WDC bid. She says, “Of all the cities bidding, Cape Town had a compelling story – a story of inspiration and hope against a history of deep struggling in an era when separation was key. Cape Town’s problems are really upfront and we exhibit signs that we’re able to use design as a key ingredient of development looking forward.”

Makalima-Ngewana adds that the world has acknowledged that cities are about people. Cape Town’s bid book for the WDC2014 title clearly

urbanisation, such as sanitation and basic service delivery,” agrees Anton Groenewald, the City of Cape Town’s Executive Director of tourism, events and marketing. Groenewald represents the city on the board of Cape Town Design.

Reports from WDC2012 – Helsinki, Finland – is that design has been used to find solutions and make improvements in industries as diverse as airport security, workwear, signage, library services and healthcare.

Furthermore, the international exposure Cape Town is already attracting through this accolade will boost various local industries including tourism.

illustrates this. The first page is filled with responses from residents to the question “What makes Cape Town a great design city?” The answers varied from “Great ideas are born on the Table” to “The mother city: old enough for history, young enough for change and innovation”.

Local is lekker This idea is underlined by Groenewald and Benjamin, who both believe that the WDC2014 encourages strong resident participation. “Resident involvement is really the core of what the WDC is about. It’s about getting people to conceptualise what they want in their city or an issue they want to tackle, and then getting them to design a process, a service or a spatial intervention that they think will improve the situation,” states Benjamin.

Local participation and strategic partnerships are key components for the success of the year-long event.

Six signature events and several smaller ones will make up the programme for 2014. The content covered by these events will be based on the projects that Cape Town Design will select to showcase during the year. A call for submissions from the public of envisaged or current projects has been scheduled for early this year. These projects should address a social issue they’ve identified and detail the design innovation they’ve created as a solution.

Benjamin elaborates: “We are currently developing six themes for the submissions and the criteria for the submissions. They will be judged on these criteria, as well as the financial viability of the proposal. Proposals from people who have given thought to additional funding plans or potential partnerships may have a better chance of selection.

“We foresee events like exhibitions, participatory design weekends, pop-up shops, design walks, and new temporary uses for our public spaces,” she says.

Several opportunities, ranging from knowledge collaboration to corporate sponsorships, exist for partnerships.

“A key element of effective design solutions relating to economic and social development is collaboration,” explains Groenewald.

“We see partnerships as critical to the ability to collaborate. The WDC2014 gives us an opportunity to collaborate on both a local and international level, and it is important for us to leverage this opportunity.”

Specifically, R60m needs to be raised to help fund the project. This will be done through corporate

sponsorship – and companies with a strong African footprint will be targeted, according to Makalima-Ngewana.

Partnership and collaboration are also one of the goals for showcasing the selected projects. “While the [WDC2014] designation is citybased, we will use it to connect with other cities in the country and the continent. It is a great opportunity for the design community to interface with other designers in Accra, Nairobi or Kigali. We must use the year to build an African design scene that speaks to African aesthetics, problems and identity, instead of looking towards Europe for inspiration,” Benjamin concludes.

THE 24-HOUR CITY URBAN-PLANNING MODEL PROPOSED FOR CAPE TOWN’S CITY CENTRE IS RIPE WITH ECONOMIC, INFRASTRUCTURAL AND SOCIAL-DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES. WHAT’S MORE, IT DELIVERS A STRONG MESSAGE ABOUT HOW THE CITY CENTRE IS AFFIRMING ITS PROGRESSIVE CREATIVE CAPITAL IMAGE. BY ANNALIZE ROSSOUW

Earlier this year, the Cape Town Partnership held a symposium to discuss how the inner city could be revived. Here, the notion of the City of Cape Town as a 24-hour city – a city that never sleeps – was debated as a means to boost the city’s economy, create new employment opportunities, improve safety, and fuel industries such as tourism and entertainment.

The idea has received renewed attention since Cape Town was named World Design Capital 2014, but it first started taking shape in 2004 in the Western Cape government’s 2004 Integrated Development Plan.

The first strategy in the document – shifting growth to the urban core – details how “mixed-use, mixed-income, highdensity development in well-located and accessible areas…” stimulates economic opportunities. Until now, the city’s poor have been housed in low-cost housing at the urban periphery. Not only does this limit employment opportunities, employed residents also have to travel great distances to work. “This combination of factors tends to trap people in poverty and imposes massive long-term social costs,” the document reads.

CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS

75 2013/02/15 6:02 PM

Longer public-transport operating hours and a more efficient public-transport system in and out of the city centre are added benefits. “When operating properly, [public transport] is the instrument that bridges the apartheid city with Khayelitsha or Duinefontein, for example,” says Carlisle. “It allows people from these outlying areas to swim at Sea Point Pavillion and people to go to work. But this drains at 5pm. It is essential that we get a mix of people living in the city centre, not just the very rich.”

Mixing it up After hours Urban researcher and artist Ismail Farouk points out that while 55 000 people live in Cape Town’s City Bowl area, an average of 400 000 people travel in and out of the city daily between work and home. But population densification in the city centre stimulates a night-time economy.

At present, the city centre operates from 8AM to 5PM, with limited services and amenities available outside of these hours.

“For a city centre to be effective,” says Robin Carlisle, Western Cape MEC for Transport and Public Works, “it cannot be an eight-to-five habitat. For instance, schools in the city must operate from early morning to late at night: conventional school from 8am to 2pm; summer school or daycare centres from 2pm onwards; and evenings maybe ABETs [adult basic education and training].”

“This is typically because of increasing costs.

Everything needs to work harder and longer.

And where you extend your day, you’re going to grow employment against a fairly static cost base. The city must buzz till late.”

A case in point is retailer Woolworths. The company has teamed up with the Engen fuelstation network to create Woolworths Food Stops, a chain of 24-hour convenience stores.

Matt Keogh, Woolworths Group Director of Retail, remarks, “The Woolworths Food Stop on Orange Street [Cape Town City Bowl] is trading well. We have been pleased with its performance since it opened in 2000. A strong presence in the 24-hour convenience market means that we are reaching new customers.

We’re making the Woolworths brand available to younger, urban customers in a safe environment.”

“The rationale for creating a 24-hour city is to create vibrant spaces,” states Farouk. “It also provides more flexible models for investment, attracting young professionals in search of a vibrant city life.”

Several studies caution that the aim of a 24hour city should not solely be entertainment 24/7. With deregulated liquor controls and extended entertainment hours, many such city precincts suffer noise pollution and social degradation.

This highlights the need for mixed-use and mixed-housing land use. With people living in the city, services and amenities will sprout to support their everyday needs.

In its Central City Development Strategy published in 2008, the Cape Town Partnership committed to trebling the city centre’s population density. This has not yet been achieved and the city centre continues to be home to high-income earners and short-stay holiday-makers.

One way to counteract this housing trend is to diversify housing options available in the city centre.

Farouk explains that this is no easy task.

“According to our constitution, we must make the city centre more inclusive and increase the density there,” he says. “But the specific challenge to Cape Town is the high cost and low availability of land, which makes mixedincome housing almost impossible.

“There’s a conservative political environment opposed to densification. They view densification as a negative word, regarding it as unmanageable, high-rise types of environments the likes of Shanghai and the Johannesburg CBD. The city has therefore fought against this densification process.”

This opens the way for social-housing institutions.

In the 2004 Integrated Development Plan, the Western Cape government identified the opportunity for ‘gap’ or ‘infill’ housing: accommodation for households earning just too much to qualify for national housing subsidies.

Joel Mkunqwana is President and Chair of the National Association of Social Housing

Organisations, and Social-Housing Director of Communicare, a Cape Town-based nonprofit social-housing company. Social-housing organisations provide subsidised rentals at below market value to households falling into the low- and middle-income brackets.

“A monthly income of R7 500 per household is the cap for receiving social-housing assistance,” states Mkunqwana. “There are two components involved: households earning below R3 500 (the primary social-housing market), and households earning below R7 500 (the secondary social-housing market).

“In certain social-housing projects in other parts of the country, the current rental pricing has been reduced to R1 800, with some support from government,” Mkunqwana says.

“Mixed-use/mixed-income combinations increase capital,” Carlisle adds. “The state puts up the land and the private sector provides the cost of development, the capital and management, and both share the profits. The profits become more substantial as time goes on.”

“We’re trying to get public rental-stock properties [held by the state] transferred to us because the social-housing institutions’ management and efficiencies are better than those of government,” Mkunqwana elaborates.

“We have better collection rates and better customer relations compared with the state.

Communicare holds 3 600 stock rentals with [rental] collections above 98 percent, and turnaround vacancies below 2 percent.”

Furthermore, organisations like Communicare have social-development programmes in place to support the tenants in social-housing complexes. Communicare’s enterprisedevelopment project, for instance, involves residents in the gardening, landscaping and painting of their properties as part of its housingstock maintenance and upgrading.

Carlisle warns, however, that “you do great harm when you start granting housing to the unemployed because their distress becomes the city’s distress”. For this reason, he says, assisted housing will be the focus of the city’s urban-densification programme.

Farouk adds, “Creating a 24-hour city in the Cape Town City Bowl speaks to South Africa’s challenges: eight-to-five cities were related to apartheid where the CBDs housed a particular race and class.” Marginalised communities were bussed in and out of the city to work. An integrated city centre would therefore have the added benefit of addressing this legacy from the past.

The state puts up the land and the private sector provides the cost of development, the capital and management, and both share the profits. The profits become more substantial as time goes on.

Today, the V&A Waterfront has become South Africa’s most visited destination, attracting over 23 million local and international visitors each year. The average number of visitors to the Waterfront is 1.7 million per month, which increases to more than 2.5 million during summer as domestic and international visitors descend on Cape Town.

Situated in South Africa’s oldest working harbour with the iconic Table Mountain in the background, it is a special destination that offers visitors an eclectic array of experiences.

It’s a South African cultural hub of activity, a place where visitors love to amble about, eat, shop, play, work and desire to live.

With 22 official landmarks on-site, the Waterfront forms an integral part of South Africa’s historical legacy. There are also close to 450 retailers and more than 80 eateries ranging from world-class fine dining, a plethora of coffee shops, local artesian bakeries, a variety of traditional pubs, the largest wine bar by the glass in the world and take-away fish and chips that visitors can enjoy sitting on a bench on the quayside, taking in the wonderful ambience a working harbour provides.

The local fishing industry occupies 60 percent of the Waterfront site. It provides visitors with a vibrant and ever-changing backdrop of ferries, fishing vessels, charter boats, luxury yachts and marine life. The harbour, originating in 1860, today caters for a wide range of vessels and provides berthing to passenger boats, super yachts and a multitude of upmarket cruise liners.

“WITH 22 OFFICIAL LANDMARKS ON-SITE, THE WATERFRONT FORMS AN INTEGRAL PART OF SOUTH AFRICA’S HISTORICAL LEGACY.” Since 2010, the Waterfront has been jointly owned by two eminent South African companies, Growthpoint Properties Limited and the Government Employees Pension Fund, represented by the Public Investment Corporation Limited. It is run by a dedicated commercial property management and development team, namely the V&A Waterfront Management company.

Currently the 123 hectares of mixed-use development comprises of commercial and retail space, 10 hotels and 514 premium residential units. Approximately 16 000 people work at the V&A Waterfront on a daily basis.

Highlights in the past year include the opening of new international fashion retailer Zara, which has received excellent support from local Capetonians, and popular bakery Vovo Telo, opening their first Western Cape store offering freshly baked breads, pastries and light meals.

The refurbished Food Court, offering inside/ outside dining areas with spectacular views of the ocean and mountain, reopened in November 2012. An exciting entertainment lineup showcases the renovated Amphitheatre to make the most of outdoor living in summer.

YOUNG PROFESSIONALS ARE MORE AND MORE ADAMANT THAT FINDING A WORKLIFE BALANCE IS AS IMPORTANT AS EARNING THE RIGHT SALARY. WE TALK TO JENNY BRASH, A QUALIFIED CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT ABOUT FINDING HER PERFECT BALANCE.

Finding balance in life is something that so many people struggle with. Trying to make time for work, family, friends, exercise and ‘time out’ for yourself seems nearly impossible in today’s fast-paced world. For me it all started in 1997 when I tried Bikram yoga for the very first time in San Francisco. I was on secondment, working at Deloitte and there was a Bikram yoga studio right across the road from my apartment.

From that first class, I was hooked. I’ve practised yoga ever since and it has helped me in so many ways – to lose weight, to strengthen my body, to be more flexible, to reduce stress and most importantly, for a sense of overall wellbeing! I believe a mental shift takes place when you are in a room heated to 40 degrees. As you sweat, you feel cleansed and rejuvenated. It’s almost as if the physical act of sweating allows you to rid yourself of those negative thoughts and emotions that can take up space in your mind. The set sequence of 26 postures is almost like a moving meditation. As you move through the sequence, it allows you to reconnect with your body in ways you haven’t experienced before and the physical results are almost immediate. I never considered myself to be a flexible person – I was a runner and had extremely tight hamstrings.

Yoga and accounting couldn’t be more different and even though I am grateful for the business acumen it has afforded me, I knew that numbers were not my true passion. In 2004, I decided to pursue my dream and completed the Bikram yoga training programme in Los Angeles. I was working in finance in London but knew that I needed to explore this more creative side of my personality. I loved the course and came back to London where I combined accounting and yoga. I worked for a bank and taught yoga in my spare time. In 2009, after one too many London winters, I decided to return home to South Africa. In 2010 I opened Yo yoga with my business partner, Stuart Kirton.

Yo yoga is a hot yoga studio in Claremont, Cape Town and we offer both Bikram and Flow yoga classes every day.

I remember something that Steve Jobs said, “‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.” For me that change was swapping my yoga practice for a yoga business. At our last count, over 5 000 people have walked through Yo yoga’s doors… and when they walk out they most definitely have a spring in their step. Through yoga, we hope to help people find balance in their lives. Whether it leads to life changing decisions and an entirely different career... well, that is up to them!

Chi doesn’t FINDING BALANCE, MAXIMISING PRODUCTIVITY, AND CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS IS ALL NEATLY LINED-UP IN FENG SHUI. Compiled by SIPHESANDE MTONGANA AND JANE DU PLESSIS It’s an ancient Chinese art with a history as old as the mountains… developed over 3000 years ago it is a complex science that reveals how to balance the energies of any given space to ensure health and good fortune.

Feng means wind and shui means water. In Chinese culture wind and water are associated with good health, thus good feng shui came to mean good fortune, while bad feng shui means bad luck, or misfortune.

Feng shui is based on the Taoist vision and understanding of nature, particularly on the idea that the land is alive and filled with chi, or energy. And over the years, the concept has been used by professionals in the office environment to create balance and positively influence the office chi.

There are a few key elements that can be used in the office environment to influence the chi. However, before you can influence the chi, ensure that it can move freely through your office. Chi becomes

motionless in clutter and in corners. It is therefore important to declutter and sweep through all the corners in your office space.

BASIC OFFICE FENG SHUI TECHNIQUES Use shapes – The first element to influence the chi is by using shapes such as chairs, lamps and desks. The shape of an object or room influences how fast or slow the chi moves. Shapes with hard edges make the chi move faster while more curved shapes will slow it down.

The right material – This has a remarkable impact on the flow of chi. Hard, smooth and reflective surfaces create fast moving energy while more soft, textured and matt surfaces bring in a slow moving chi. Most offices have large areas with industrial carpets to control noise, this could however decrease work productivity and creative thought. To bring more positive energy into the space the walls can be painted with a smooth reflective finish.

Use colour – This is the third element to consider. It is advisable to use more muted and soft colours for the office and have more vibrant and bright colours for the reception area to bring more energised positive energy. A great way to incorporate colour is either through artwork or flowers. Flowers are wonderful as they bring natural living chi into the environment; many offices are devoid

do clutter of any connection with nature.

It is important to ensure that the water is fresh and changed frequently and to remove any wilting flowers regularly as living flowers and fresh water bring positive chi, dead and wilting flowers with stagnate water bringing negative chi. If you decide to use art, use a thought provoking piece that stimulates creative thinking and that will bring a unique atmosphere to your office.

Water – The last and most powerful feng shui element is water and water features. Water features bring vitality and increase the health of the employees. Moving water will bring positive energy, while still water features bring negative energy. Aquariums are also wonderful features to bring into the office, especially if they have bright and colourful fish. It is important that water never flows away from the office, as this will influence that profits and clients leave your business.

It is also advisable that the centre area of the office be kept open.

Use metal around this area and a long circular vase with white flowers.

IN CHINESE CULTURE WIND AND WATER ARE ASSOCIATED WITH GOOD HEALTH, THUS GOOD FENG SHUI CAME TO MEAN GOOD FORTUNE, WHILE BAD FENG SHUI MEANS BAD LUCK, OR MISFORTUNE.

FAST FACTS Types of furniture to use: Chairs with hard edges, curved tables, lamps, bright flowers, and cushions bring positive energy into the office.

TECHNOLOGY

Advances in technology have simplified almost everything we do. Today it’s not necessary to have your entire staff complement sitting on the shop floor, and it’s certainly not necessary to look for prime office space when you can easily launch your head office from the world wide web.

The virtual world is fast being populated with multinational and small medium enterprise representatives developing and closing deals from a hotel room, home office, the car, and in some instances, while walking down the street. The nine to five office phenomenon is slowly disappearing and what’s replacing it is a brand, service and product that’s accessible to your existing and potential clients faster and around the clock.

What all this means for the money crunchers, is a more robust tripple bottom line. A reduction in fixed costs and an increase in revenue with the extended business hours the virtual office affords you.

So how should you go about setting-up your virtual office?

Well, it’s virtually (no pun intended) easy and considerably inexpensive.

The main consideration is getting the right technology in place to allow your off-site team to get on with the job, whether they are working from home, a client’s office, their cars, or from a remote island destination.

Beam me up With cloud technology, connecting and staying connected is super simple. Most cloud services are completely free (such as Google Drive and Evernote) and hold lots of value for the user. What happens is that your data will be stored in a central remote location. You can access this at any time, from any device. Connect to it with your smart device, laptop or desktop.

Your information (data) is safe as it is backed-up off-site. So whether you’ve accidentally dropped your smart device into that crashing wave, hot coffee, running bath or it’s been stolen, your information is still accessible from that central remote location, from any other device you have access to.

“WITH CLOUD TECHNOLOGY, CONNECTING AND STAYING CONNECTED IS SUPER SIMPLE. MOST CLOUD SERVICES ARE COMPLETELY FREE (SUCH AS GOOGLE DRIVE AND EVERNOTE) AND HOLD LOTS OF VALUE FOR THE USER.”

Getting started The right device: Of course, the first thing you need is to decide whether your virtual office needs a desktop, laptop or tablet. Or a combination of the three. The latter is always preferable as a smart device and laptop are thin and lightweight for ease in carrying it around. Either way, make sure your system is set up with the necessary software, firewall protection, and memory. A smart device is also essential as it’s likely to be the device from which you do most of your virtual work, while on the go. A smartphone such as a Blackberry, iPhone or an android option such as the range of Samsung phones and tabs, Nokia’s Lumia and HTC smartphones are ideal.

Connectivity You will want high speed internet so you can keep up with your client’s needs, especially if you want to communicate with your clients via video conferencing. You will need to have 3G mobile broadband. This uses the mobile phone network to connect to the internet. You’ll also want access to wi-fi networks and happily, for the travelling professional, most airports have free hotspots.

Software Make sure you have the latest software installed on your computer, including the latest Microsoft Office, as well as other programs that you will need to make your job easier and compatible with your clients.

Additional equipment Gather the necessary tools to ensure that business runs efficiently, such as a printer, fax machine, scanner, copier and shredder (if you need to get rid of confidential information like financial statements, client and database information, etc).

SMART SHARING Google Drive Free and web-based, this office suite gives you access to an online word processor, spreadsheet, presentation package and more. Edit and view your documents from any computer or smart phone and share them online. Everything’s kept secure and backed up in the cloud.

And if you already have a google account, you can get started immediately.

Evernote A personal digital assistant that lets users keep notes, web links, PDFs and even digital pictures in one place, accessible from any computer or smartphone.

So jot down that next big idea, important query you have, a web hyperlink, and images in the program and access it anytime, from anywhere.

Office 365 Home Unlike earlier versions, you can pay for Office 365 by way of a yearly subscription fee. In addition to the usual applications and functions, you’ll now be able to save, store and share your documents online and enjoy a range of other benefits. You can install Office on up to five different devices – including smartphones, PCs, Macs and tablets – so everyone in your family can use Office independently.

Ergonomically GIVE YOUR WORK SPACE A MAKEOVER WITH THESE TIPS FOR BETTER POSTURE BEHIND YOUR DESK. Compiled by SIPHESANDE MTONGANA AND MARK VERCUEIL

Desk bound jobs are possibly the most challenging to the body than standing behind a retail counter all day long or running about trying to contain a veld fire… Well, okay, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but the dangers of bad ergonomics have been proven time and time again. Yet, it’s very seldom that the office chair we get given and the way we position ourselves behind our desks, are bound to not cause bad back and neck problems.

Chances are, that if you sit behind a desk for hours at a time, aches and pains may be a common part of your work day. Neck and back pain or sore wrists and fingers are almost commonplace across offices today, and it need not be.

Ergonomically tipped for success Getting the right furniture is essential in creating an innovative office environment where all individuals in the office are able to work productively to achieve their ultimate performance goals.

Office ergonomic furniture is made to fit the human body so as to help optimise their wellbeing and their overall performance system.

Although sitting requires less physical effort than standing or walking, it puts a lot of stress on the lumbar area. Irregular activities and a job that requires sitting for long periods of time can cause many health problems.

Therefore, the selection of suitable furniture such as ergonomic chairs, desks and cabinets are the first step in preventing health problems in people who work in sitting positions.

86

TOP300 WESTERN CAPE

WC-ergonomically-designed.indd 2

With the ergonomics approach, sitting is viewed as a specific, specialised activity which is influenced by the way that a sitting person interacts with the working environment. A well-designed, ergonomic chair is an essential tool in trying to prevent these, as it allows the user to sit in a balanced position. However, the actual sitting position depends on an individual’s personal habits; he or she has to learn and practice how to sit properly.

Sitting in an office chair for prolonged periods of time can definitely cause lower back pain or worsen an existing back or neck problem. The main reason behind this is that sitting, in an office chair, or in general, is a static posture that increases stress in the back, neck, shoulders, arms and legs, and can in particular, add large amounts of pressure to the back muscles and spinal discs.

When choosing office furniture, remember that people are different sizes and shapes, therefore, certain specifications should be considered.

Afterall, one size doesn’t always fit all. Also, chairs vary according to an individual’s line of work, i.e. dentists require a different chair than industrial workers or computer operators. When choosing office furniture, always remember to choose furniture that will make a job easier to do.

Also, the chair is only one of the components to be considered in workstation design. All the elements such as the chair, work surface, document holders, lighting and so on need to have flexibility and adjustability to the design. It is therefore mandatory that a chair be

designed

adjustable and stable, taking into consideration that the seat has a comfortable backrest and that the seat depth suits all users.

CORRECT SITTING POSTURE FOR OFFICE CHAIRS • Be sure that your back is aligned against the back of the office chair.

Avoid slouching or leaning forward, especially when tired as a result of long periods.

• For long-term sitting, such as in an office chair, be sure the chair is ergonomically designed to properly support the back.

• When sitting in an office chair at a desk, arms should be flexed at a 75 to 90 degree angle at the elbows. If this is not the case, the office chair should be adjusted accordingly.

• Knees should be even with the hips, or slightly higher when sitting in the office chair.

• Keep both feet flat on the floor. If there’s a problem with the feet reaching the floor comfortably, a footrest can be used along with the office chair.

• Sit with your shoulders straight.

• Don’t sit in one place for too long, even in ergonomic office chairs that have good back support. Get up and walk around, and stretch as much as needed.

QUOTES ROUND-UP

Doing business well… the Cape way

01

“Running a business in Cape Town is made easier by the fact that we are blessed with an astute customer base, a well-educated and trained labour market, a thriving economy and good public administration of the city. The presence and headquarters of multinationals and large corporate companies in Cape Town provides an attractive business market for us, and so does the presence of major retailers.”

– Steven Barnwell, the head of Vodacom for all Cape Regions, including the Western Cape

02

“At First National Bank we believe that our success and the provinces’ success are two sides of the same coin. What’s good for our business is good for our people, our customers and our country. FNB recognises that forging rewarding and enduring relationships with all stakeholders is essential to turning our vision into tangible and sustainable benefits.

With this in mind, we are determined to create innovations in the province that we can take to the rest of the country, and also bring our other innovations into the province, which will then produce new opportunities and options to the people in the Western Cape.”

– Stephan Claassen, Provincial Head, FNB Western Cape

“We need to achieve clarity on Cape Town’s position in the national development plan. Once we have this clarity, it will allow Cape Town to anchor certain activities. For example, Cape Town (as opposed to Gauteng) could become the investment centre for any multinational business which wants to operate in Africa. Such businesses will be able to attract high-calibre staff if based here – we all know that Cape Town has a favourable international reputation, and it should be encouraged to be more attractive as a global business destination.

What this means is that there should be benefits offered to companies who are considering setting up their offices in Cape Town. In the absence of this

kind of focus, Cape Town, and South Africa, face the prospect of losing ground to locations

such as Mauritius or Botswana, which are making significant progress towards becoming an investment hub for the African continent.”

– Ian Kirk, the Chief Executive Officer, Santam

“Identify your target market and make sure your product marries to that market. Ideally you should have a product that needs only minimal tailoring for different market places.

However, never forget in that tailoring that it is your local market which provides the backbone of the business and provides the funds to expand into new markets. So never overlook that local market.”

– Kevin Phillips , Managing Director, Idu Software

05

“The business community in Cape Town is diverse, reflecting the nature of a city with many aspects. From large corporate entities to smaller enterprises and through to SMME start-ups, however, the common thread is innovation. Cape Town is SA’s most innovative city and the business community reflects that, whether it be in financial services, retail, law or pretty much any other local sector.

The dynamism one sees in the city (and I include Stellenbosch as a core part of the Cape Town city region) is often overlooked by the rest of South Africa, which is unfortunate as it may

have diminished the role the city should have played in growing the overall South African economy.”

TOP ENTREPRENEURS

LEADERSHIP

Getting Started…

In a developing economy such as ours, it’s not easy starting your own business. We ask a few Western Cape entrepreneurs to share thier experience and offer some starting points. By Yazeed Kamaldien

Barnabas Xulu – Senior attorney and Director at a Cape Town-based law firm, Xulu Liversage Inc. Attorneys, established in 2007 How did you start this business?

After years of experience in our respective field of practice, my colleague Robert Liversage and I decided to start this firm from scratch. We both brought two different areas of expertise to enable a broad spectrum of law to be covered by our firm.

Five years later we had a firm that has acquired a respectable clientele, which continues to expand yearly. Our firm was built on passion, which is the one thing that we both have a lot of. Passion serves as the foundation to the success of Xulu Liversage.

What is the size of your business?

We’re a team of eight persons. Individually, we all have our roles to play to add to the functional value of the firm. Working in synergy allows for the operational value of our firm to constantly deliver to our clients.

We are a small but effective team of individuals that understand the core purpose of Xulu Liversage to comprehensively serve our clients’ legal affairs.

How do you deal with business challenges?

Running a business is like life, there are always obstacles and challenges.

The most important thing is how you approach these challenges.

What’s imperative to mould a brand into a successful entity is to evaluate where things went wrong and then implement a strategy to resolve it.

Communication is central to ensuring there are less challenges to deal with in the work space. It gives employees a feeling of belonging to something greater than what their job requires them to do.

Do you have a hands-on management approach at your office?

Yes. Having an interactive relationship with employees allows different mindsets to share views on anything that can improve the company as a whole. When hierarchy does not exist, and each employee feels trusted and valuable to the firm, their best efforts are always put forward as they too want the firm to succeed.

Do entrepreneurs face a lot bureaucracy?

Unfortunately, yes. There are incompetent government officials that are entrusted with the duty of ensuring that business is conducted in

“RUNNING A BUSINESS IS LIKE LIFE, THERE ARE ALWAYS OBSTACLES AND CHALLENGES.”

a favourable environment. Government becomes the main culprit, for example, with late payment of fees for services rendered.

Also, you have to share the views of the current political party in power in your province if you want to get work from government structures in the Western Cape.

How do you manage your business growth in terms of staff development and retention?

When the firm started there were only four employees. As business grew, there was a need for the company to expand as well.

It was also important for Xulu Liversage, as a brand, to update itself if it wanted to grow. Our firm hired a brand strategist to guide the internal structure growth and to, most importantly, give reach out to the public through social media platforms.

South Africans, at times, can lose faith in our judicial system. Part of our marketing strategy is to play a role to instil hope in the public that justice will be served in South African courts.

How do you attract the right staff?

Our main aim is to work hard while being able to communicate with all employees as we all work together to achieve one goal. We are a law firm that prides itself on transparency. Staffers need to be outspoken individuals that will go through any obstacle to ensure that, at the end of the day, we live up to our core purpose of delivering an excellent service to our clients.

SERVICES SECTOR Fadia Williams – Make-up artist and stylist How did you start your business?

I have always been a keen visual artist. When I was at high school I always experimented with body painting and face painting, even using water colours on my sister’s face. Back then, people would ask me to do their make-up for matric balls or if they had a special occasion.

During my days as a university student I worked for Clinique and learnt more about how skin works, and how to apply make-up. After gaining some experience on film and TV sets, I completed a year-long professional make-up artist diploma and then went on to do a short course in hairstyling.

With my business, I work mostly alone, but have a close friend who from time to time assists me.

How do you grow in this sector?

Years of experience, and trial and error are the best ways to learn, but your success depends on your abilities. I have always had a natural gift when it came to styling but I think you need to have an eye for putting clothing together and matching it to the personality of the client.

What are the challenges encountered that one should be aware of?

Products are very expensive, so when you’re starting out you might need to get sample products. That’s the way I survived at first. Even the vanity case to store your make-up in is very expensive.

Another challenge is that this work is seasonal, so you don’t always have work during the year. This means you should plan your year and know when you will be doing freelance work or taking up a contract.

Godfrey Madanhire – Corporate coach and motivational speaker, who runs Dreamworld Promotions providing affordable daily inspiration to South Africans to help them achieve their dreams How many people do you employ?

Dreamworld Promotions currently employs 150 people.

How did you get started in this business?

I came to South Africa as a Zimbabwean refugee in early 2000, with nothing to my name. I had two choices: I could accept my fate or I could hold onto the dream I’d always had of being an entrepreneur and keep working towards it. I chose the latter.

I started applying for jobs and I eventually found a position that suited my experience in the field of education, and a few years later I felt ready to take the next step and open a business of my own. I called it ‘Dreamworld’ because my business is about helping others achieve their dreams, even if that means achieving them against all odds, the way I did.

“RED TAPE IS A SAD REALITY TO STARTING ANY BUSINESS... YOU NEED TO HIRE A PROFFESSIONAL TO NAVIGATE THE RED TAPE.”

What are the challenges that your business has encountered?

Some of the most obvious things were the most challenging. For example, I thought I was completely clear on what my vision behind Dreamworld Promotions was until I had to sit down and put it in words as part of the vision and mission statement in my business plan.

Another example of what I thought could be taken for granted was finding fantastic employees right off the bat. I interviewed many gifted people but it took time to find a team that was not only gifted but also the right fit for Dreamworld.

What’s your advice on overcoming these challenges?

The best piece of advice I can give to any entrepreneur is to find a mentor. Their wisdom and experience is priceless. Corporate coaches are also incredibly useful in offering practical advice, helping you overcome obstacles and reaching your goals. Of course, as I’m a corporate coach myself, I’m a little biased.

What is the kind of support available to entrepreneurs that you got?

I was fortunate enough to have a network of connected people to support and help me when I first launched Dreamworld Promotions. However, I did look into a number of programmes that are geared at aiding entrepreneurs.

There are a number of investment firms, such as Business Partners Limited, which looks to invest in small to medium enterprises. This company will invest between R250 000 and R15m into SMMEs from all sectors, bar farming, on-lending, and non-profit organisations.

Many entrepreneurs are daunted by approaching the banks. However, with a firm and strong business plan in hand, speaking with them will never hurt. A little known fact is that the major banks all have specialised SMME divisions which are an invaluable asset for small business owners.

Do entrepreneurs face a lot of government red tape in the way of their growth?

Red tape is a sad reality of opening and growing a small business. Quite often, despite what governments promise us, you need to hire a professional to help you navigate the maze of government regulation. If South Africa is truly serious about encouraging entrepreneurship, this, along with access to funding, is one of the main areas which need to be addressed.

How do you manage your business growth in terms of staff development and retention?

I look at motivating and rewarding staff as the same thing. This is a chance to build an employee’s self-esteem and personal drive. In fact, to believe that more money means a happier workforce would be a grave error on an employer’s part.

For a business to get the best it can from its workforce, it’s essential

2013

2013/02/15 5:15 PM

that business owners ensure each member of staff has a healthy selfesteem and a strong personal drive to succeed.

While employees understandably look at something financial as a means of remuneration for work well done, human nature also means that positive reinforcement via other means is key to employees feeling satisfied, fulfilled and, most importantly, happy in a work environment.

How do you attract the right staff?

The most important way of attracting the right kind of staff is keeping the staff that you have. If your current staff complement is happy and proud of the company, they are the best attractor of the talent which your business requires and which suits the culture of your business.

DEVELOPMENT: SPORT Pieter Wesselink – Managing Director of the African Brothers Football Academy (ABFA), a social entrepreneurship enterprise What does your business do?

ABFA aims to harness South Africa’s love of soccer to bridge cultural divides and effect change in Cape Town by providing sports facilities for children from all cultural backgrounds to play together, learn team and leadership skills and keep so-called ‘at risk children’ off the streets.

ABFA has partnered with a school in the Cape Town CBD. Since this partnership, it has refurbished these derelict grounds to the tune of R2m. Today, these renovated facilities cater to hundreds of underprivileged learners from multiple schools in the area, at no cost to those who cannot afford the membership fee.

How many staff work for you?

We currently have seven staff members on our rosters as coaches and maintenance staff for the academy and its fields.

How did you get started in this business?

It was about five years ago, after meeting Craig Hepburn who, along with Siphiwe Cele had the original idea of using soccer to bridge cultural divides, that I got started. With my experience in the business world as a venture capitalist, ABFA was the perfect platform for me to use those skills in giving back to the community.

What are the challenges you’ve encountered?

When launching a business, challenges arise from all avenues. For ABFA, our greatest challenge has been trying to cut through bureaucracy which often seems to fly in the face of common sense. Each business, regardless of what it is, will without a doubt face hurdles on the road to success.

Give us some advice on how to overcome these challenges.

I could give you a ream of ‘tips’ but in all honesty there is only one which matters. Don’t give up. Always keep in mind what your aims were in starting your business. If these are strong, regardless of what challenges you may face, you will always find yet another last drop of energy to keep going.

What is the kind of support available to entrepreneurs that you know of?

The sad reality is that while there are plenty of government programmes set up with the aims of supporting entrepreneurs, I’ve not found them to be that useful. In my case, the best support I’ve received has been from other entrepreneurs. A community of people going through and facing similar problems is invaluable as a resource for solutions and even just as a sounding board.

Do entrepreneurs face a lot of government hurdles?

ABFA is well set to roll out nationally, however the perennial problem of red-tape has hampered us. Governments make a lot of promises when it comes to reducing red-tape for businesses because even politicians are aware of the fact that red-tape is one of the major impediments to a flourishing economy of entrepreneurs.

In reality those promises rarely, if ever, translate to actual meaningful deregulation.

ABFA has been in a protracted dispute with the City of Cape Town, the Western Cape Department of Education and the Western Cape Department of Transport & Public Works to regularise its operations.

Recently there does seem to be some forward movement on this issue, we can only hope that it is not another false start.

How do you manage your business growth in terms of staff development and retention?

For ABFA, being a social initiative, developing and up-skilling our staff has been one of the core goals of what we’re doing. All our staff members are formerly homeless residents of the community where ABFA is based.

How do you attract the right staff?

The key ingredient for us is finding people passionate about football and who, obviously, have a talent with dealing with children. In future, when the ABFA model expands to new areas, we will be looking for young, talented, entrepreneurial individuals to run the new ABFA locations.

SMART SHARING • Research by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM puts Cape Town’s entrepreneurship levels above that of the whole of South Africa.

• An even more dramatic figure hints at one of the reasons for Cape Town’s lead. The city’s concentration of opportunity entrepreneurs – those who start businesses because they want to, rather than because they have no other choice.

• Mike Herrington, a professor at the University of Cape Town’s Graduate School of Business who heads up the GEM research, explained that people who choose to start a business are often in a position to choose where they want to live. Cape Town is the ‘city of choice’ especially among young people, and therefore tends to attract entrepreneurial, educated types. The fact that the greater Cape Town has four universities, further helps to attract entrepreneurial potential to the city.

• Better basic-education results could have a positive influence on entrepreneurship levels in Cape Town, because the link between education and entrepreneurship is “incontrovertible”, said Herrington.

Having worked on two big projects before, co-founders Manuel Koser and Peter Allerstorfer saw a gap for an online fashion store, and so Zando was born from these tenacious and innovative minds.

The asset management arm of JP Morgan invested an undisclosed amount into the e-retailer and Koser says: “Attracting such a reputable international investor to support our future growth shows commitment and confidence in our business.

This investment will assist the business by supporting its vision and all of its operations.”

The PIC, a public-owned asset manager which ultimately manages the funds of the Government Employees Pension Fund is a particularly favourable beneficiary for the V&A Waterfront, as it represents the interests of millions of ordinary people. The PIC has an asset management value of more than R1 trillion. While, Growthpoint financial results for the year ended show the largest JSE listed property company with an asset base of approximately R53b.

Wesgro secures R1.25b of investment into Western Cape Wesgro, the Western Cape’s investment and trade promotion agency secured a committed investment totaling R1.241b during the 2011/2012 financial year.

This investment exceeded Wesgro’s lower band target of R742m, but fell slightly short of the upper band target of R1.409b.

CEO Nils Flaatten says Wesgro is responsible for attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) into the Western Cape.

In 2011, Wesgro attracted 17.62 percent of FDI into the Western Cape, while in 2010, the total investments accounted for 16.72 percent for that year.

The total amount of jobs created or sustained through Wesgro’s intervention were 1 313 which exceeded its lower band target by 77 percent and fell 7 percent short of the upper band target. This was a great improvement as 325 direct jobs were created in 2011 as a result of the organisation’s efforts.

Locals invest in their own – V&A Waterfront In an effort to keep South Africa’s super prime commercial property asset, the V&A Waterfront, in local hands, Growthpoint Properties and the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) both acquired a 50 percent stake.

To secure the 50 percent share, both Growthpoint Properties and the PIC had to pay R4.9b respectively to ensure the local ownership of the Western Cape’s most prestigious property.

The property was bought from a consortium led

by London and Dubai investors who formerly partnered with local BEE investors to secure ownership.

brothers, all of whom have inherited their father’s passion for excellence; each one of them is responsible for an important aspect of this fast growing dairy business.

Dairy farming was always a small-scale operation until Eduard Loubser Snr decided to upgrade this activity. The business has a well-bred, healthy, strong herd of Friesland cows producing milk of outstanding quality under optimal conditions. A relationship with South Africa’s premier retail chain, Woolworths soon developed and subsequently grew into a strategic partnership. A dedicated production facility called The Dairy Connection was built in 1997 to exclusively supply Woolworths with their dairy range on a national basis.

CAPESPAN from Cape Town. Currently the fifth generation of the Loubser family is growing up on the farm, and it is the intention of the family that many more will grow up on the farm in the future.

The area they farm in is traditionally a wheat growing area with milk being a natural offspring from the farming activities required in order to be a successful wheat producer. Other farming activities in the past included a piggery, an Angus cattle beef section, wine farming and sheep farming. The current activities include wheat farming, wine farming and dairy farming.

Father, Eduard Loubser Snr, grew the business from a small scale farming operation in the mid-1950s to a well diversified farming business with a long-term vision. Currently, the Loubser family consists of five

Zando T he cyber revolution Taking the online sphere by storm, Zando has exploded in cyber space with the hottest brands, latest trends and the hippest and most happening fashion around.

Shaheema Albertyn-Burton and Jehad Kasu find out what the hype is all about.

Established in November 2011 as an e-commerce business enterprise selling highend fashion products, Zando falls among other dominant players such as Amazon.com and Kalahari.net. Having worked on two big projects before, co-founders Manuel Koser and Peter Allerstorfer saw a gap for an online fashion store, and so Zando was born from these tenacious and innovative minds.

Beating the odds Living by the chicken and egg principle, Zando believes that if its customers are not aware of what is out there, they won’t have the need for it. It is the company’s mission to bring to the fore new and established fashion brands and educate the market, ultimately fulfilling their every need.

As a one-stop fashion store, the heads of Zando spend most of their time meeting with fashion guru’s and renowned brands around the world with the aim to incorporate them into their online sphere. Some of the most sought-after local brands include Zoom, Bronx and Billabong.

Fashion is a hard sell online, but Zando has beat the odds by finding solutions and making the electronic purchase seamless and as secure as possible to ensure consumers feel safe and protected at all times. Customers want to interact with an item before proceeding to purchase. To combat this, Zando takes good high-resolution images to bring the best of the product to its customers electronically, and in the best way possible.

Payment options A big issue for any electronic store is that most internet users don’t trust online shopping websites. The most common questions asked include: “Is it secure? Is the information shared in a secure space?” Zando backed this up with a verified security certificate. In terms of payment methods via credit card and EFT, the company installed an online-fraud system which continuously verifies the credit card number with the delivery address. Hence, if

102 Zando.indd 2

someone were to change any of the initial details, the transaction would be denied.

Zando also offers the option of Cash On Delivery (COD). eBucks The incorporation of eBucks as a payment option allows clients the opportunity to spend the eBucks they’ve earned. What this does is make the consumer feel that they are not spending ‘real’ money.

Collaboration with JP Morgan JP Morgan has invested in Zando as a passive financial investor.

Very flattered that the company believes in their product, Zando is delighted to be partnered with such a reputable international investor. JP Morgan believes in the market, the business model and the aim and strategy of Zando. Also, they are happy to serve the South African market as this is one entry point into Africa.

For Zando, the partnership is around executing its business model; improving business systems and getting more brands into its online stable, which requires a huge capital outlay. The company hopes to optimise customer service throughout its supply chain and establish a better system by which it can add more value to the overall customer experience. The investment by JP Morgan is purely as a passive financial investor, so they have no stake in the company and its operations.

The speed of light As a young company, Zando connects with a market that is super speedy and flexible. The good and bad thing about the internet world is that everything can be tracked, traceable and measurable. If you get data quickly and almost live, you can adjust direction almost immediately. Decisions can be made on the spot.

In the online sphere, speed is absolutely important. The business model is complex and requires a lot of smart people with good

processes to make it work. Also, the company needs to have enough trust in its staff to ensure they will make the right choices and represent the brand in a professional manner.

“At one point, we went away for three weeks looking for brands around the world, and when we returned, the company was completely different. We had new staff, two new departments; it was bigger and more enhanced. So, it is important to trust in your staff, their abilities and decisions.”

STAYING AHEAD PRODUCT OFFERING Zando researches their clients to find out what they actually want, what brands are good, and what styles are more fashionable. We constantly work at optimising our product offering to ensure all the needs of our clients are met. About 40 percent of our brands are international, each with their own size conversion chart, therefore we undertake intense studies into size conversion models to assist the client in ensuring that the correct size is ordered.

LEADERSHIP

from the next company in terms of customer satisfaction?

Focus on what you are good at, focus on what you planned and don’t get distracted and sidelined by other great things things you could do.

Fashion is a hard sell online, but Zando has beat the odds by finding solutions and making the electronic purchase seamless and as secure as possible to ensure consumers feel safe and protected at all times.

SUPPLY CHAIN AND DELIVERY Zando started with COD and instant return. A business model was set up which continuously optimises IT processes and backgrounds. Zando has its own warehouse and adjusts the processes as new products and brands come in. Zando has a website which has to be processed flawlessly and the company continuously tries to shorten delivery times. Zando also works tirelessly to enhance its security sytems.

GETTING TO KNOW OUR CUSTOMER We are always trying to get to know our customers better and remember what brands and products they view. Thereafter, we send them updates via email on brands and styles we think they would be interested in.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY As an IT company, we have 25 dedicated staff members that do nothing else but take pictures of our products and write content about them. It’s a huge project, but we need to have high-resolution images on our website to ensure our client gets the correct perception of the brand. The staff continually update the website with new products and ensure all the brands are profiled in a professional and enticing manner.

CUSTOMER SERVICE The most asked question by customers is “where is our order?” We go back, track and trace, check our mails and always optimise this process with constant communication to the client at every step to ensure they are informed all the time.

ADVICE Remain customer focused in terms of your business model.

BACK END IN CAMERA

Democracy, photographer Dale Yudelman captures 18 years of democracy.

LIFE UNDER DEMOCRACY InManyLifeofUnder the images were shot in passing and are personal daily reflections, while others involve more deliberate excursions. As if in conversation, Yudelman uses his iPhone camera as a means of discourse. The senses are unified through a device historically utilised for discussion, in turn mirroring the merging of a nation whose past is omnipresent.
