EDITOR’S LETTER

E d i t o r ’s l e t t e r As I write this letter, hundreds of courageous firefighters have managed to get the wild fires that ravaged the Cape Peninsular for a week, under control. Over 5 000 hectares of fynbos have been destroyed and one of the most experienced Working on Fire helicopter pilots died after a forced landing in Cape Point. The Disaster Risk Management Centre has warned that it will, however, take many weeks of containing flare-ups before the fat lady actually sings and we can all breathe again. Driving over Ou Kapse Weg the bare, blackened, naked earth is a grim reflection of the devastation wrought by the flames - and how much worse it would have been without the dedicated firefighting teams. Working on Fire is a Department of Environmental Affairs job creation programme and we have so much to thank all the firefighters for - truly they are heroes who live among us. One of the consequences of the fire was the rerouting of the Cape Town Cycle Tour (see p. 30) - no Chapmans Peak challenge this year for the 35 000 cyclists - the route was shortened to 47kms and there was a massive response from participants and supporters who heeded the Cape Argus’s call to “Go Red” in support of the the firefighters and volunteers. On another note, whilst the ZAR hit a 13 year low on the back of a strengthening dollar this week, Cape Town city hit the headlines as “Boom Town” with overall property investment in the CBD reaching the R24-billion mark. The expansion of the Cape Town International Convention Centre and the new Christiaan Barnard Hospital will inject investment worth at least R2.1-billion into the Foreshore over the next two years. According to the Central City Improvement District’s third State of Cape Town Central City Report, developers are taking advantage of the tax incentives associated with the older parts of the city and several historical buildings are being upgraded. More good news for the Province centres around Operation Phakisa (unpacked in the State of the Nation 2015 overview pp 16-19). Operation Phakisa is “a unique initiative to address issues highlighted in the National Development Plan 2030 such as poverty and unemployment” (Minister in the Presidency, Jeff Radebe). “The first implementation of Operation Phakisa will be led by the Department of Environmental Affairs. It will focus on unlocking the potential of South Africa’s oceans which are estimated to have the poterntial to contribute R170-billion to the GDP by 2030” (H.E. President Zuma). Western Cape has already benefited from this initiative - falling under the “blue economy” of Operation Phakisa is the R9.65-billion infrastructure project in Saldanha Industrial Development Zone, announced in

January 2015 by the Transnet Port Authority. This presents a massive opportunity to service the oil rigs on the East and West coast of Africa; the Port Authority estimates that this will create in the region of 6 300 direct jobs, 25 200 new indirect jobs and contibute approximately R4.4-billion to South Africa’s GDP. The project will be completed by 2018. Continuing with the topic of potential, the magazine you are holding abounds with business to business opportunities afforded by the rigorous research that provides you access to the Top 300 companies, by sector, in Western Cape - and the detailed sectoral overviews are based on the most current information available from Wesgro and the Deaprtment of Economic Development and Tourism. I hope you find this invaluable - and, like me, are looking forward to what 2015 holds.

FOREWORD

ALAN WINDE M i n i s t e r o f E c o n o m i c O p p o r t u n i t i e s We s t e r n C a p e In the Western Cape, our number one priority is economic growth and job creation. Over the next decade, we aim to double the size of the Western Cape economy to create more opportunities for residents to become employed. We have initiated several special projects in order to ensure that we achieve this goal. The first is our Red Tape to Red Carpet initiative. Through this initiative, we are eliminating the unnecessary red tape that hinders, and in some cases deters, business and investment. In the past year alone, our Red Tape Team assisted with 1 475 queries, achieving a resolution rate of 90 percent. Because we understand the potential of being connected to the world, we are intent on rolling out broadband to residents across our province. We are already in the process of connecting schools and government buildings, and are installing Wi-Fi hotspots in key business locations. A World Bank study shows that every 10 percent increase in broadband speed results in a 1.3 percent growth in the economy. This growth is brought about by current and new entrants into the economy. We know that strong partnerships between government, the private sector, and civil society play a crucial role in driving coordination in the economy. To this end, we have initiated an economic development partnership (EDP), which is

Top 300 COMPANIES

Western Cape R esearc h C r i ter i a

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 11.4 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.

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

investments were the UK (15.8 percent), Venezuela (12 percent) and Qatar (11 percent). The dominant sectors, with regard to attracting FDI in terms of projects, were food and tobacco (23.7 percent), financial services (14.4 percent) and software and IT services (11.9 percent). Sectors which resulted in the highest levels of FDI in terms of capital value during this period were real estate (18.5 percent), food and tobacco (16 percent); coal, oil and natural gas (15.4 percent) and chemicals (14.4 percent). The flow of foreign trade and capital movements within the South African economy is reflected in the increases in the country’s foreign liabilities and assets.

TRADE Exports Western Cape exports increased in 2013 by 16 percent from the previous year to total R74.8-billion. Imports increased by 4 percent to R186.5-billion. The Netherlands was the province’s largest export market (9 percent) with exports to the value of R6.7-billion. The majority of these exported products were grapes and citrus. The South African wine industry improved on its previous export record in 2013 by increasing 26 percent and sold volumes reaching 525.7 million litres. Imports Imports totalled R186.5-billion – a 4 percent increase from 2012 to 2013. The leading imported products included crude petroleum oil, footwear, refined petroleum oil and electric generating sets. Saudi Arabia was Western Cape’s largest import market (20 percent) as the province received goods to the value of R37.7billion consisting mainly of crude petroleum oil. The province benefits from trade with powers such as Europe and the United States and is in prime position for African market access which offers the opportunity for oil and gas service providers to enter the West African market.

EDITORIAL | STATE OF THE NATION

In February 2015, the State of the Nation Address (SONA) given by President Jacob Zuma in Cape Town made headlines – not only for the content of the speech, but for the alleged jamming of the signal from Parliament, the blurring of the lines between the organs of State – executive and legislature - with the removal of the EFF members from Parliament, and the subsequent walkout of the DA, UDM and COPE. In the same week the International Monetary Fund revised the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth forecast for the global economy in 2015 down to 3.5 percent, putting at risk South Africa’s growth target of 5 percent by 2019. In the light of this, the most important announcement to come out of SONA was the Nine Point Plan focusing on economic growth and job creation: Nine Point Plan 1. Resolving the energy challenge 2. Revitalising agriculture and the agro-processing value chain 3. Advancing beneficiation or adding value to our mineral wealth 4. M ore effective implementation of a higher impact Industrial Policy Action Plan 5. Encouraging private sector investment 6. Moderating workplace conflict 7. U nlocking the potential of small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs), cooperatives, township and rural enterprises 8. S tate reform and boosting the role of state owned companies, information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure or broadband roll-out, water, sanitation and transport infrastructure 9. O peration Phakisa, aimed at growing the ocean economy and other sectors

ENERGY The short and medium-term plan to address the energy challenge involves improved maintenance of Eskom power stations, enhanced electricity generation capacity and managing the electricity demand. The long-term plan involves finalising the energy security master plan. Eskom will be allocated approximately R23-billion in the next fiscal year and has been directed to switch from diesel to gas as a source of energy for the utility’s generators. The construction of the three new power stations - Kusile, Medupi and Ingula - will add 10 000 megawatts of capacity to the national grid. A total of 3 900 megawatts of renewable energy has also been sourced, with 32 projects constituting a capacity of just over 1 500 megawatts completed and connected to the grid. Eskom has completed the construction of the Sere Wind Farm, which is already delivering 100 megawatts to the grid, well ahead of its intended launch in March this year. In December 2014, government began procurement of 2 400 megawatts of new coal-fired power generation capacity, from Independent Power Producers. The procurement process for 2 400 megawatts of new gas-fired generation will begin in the first quarter of the new financial year. A total of 2 600 megawatts of hydro-electric capacity will be sourced from the SADC region. With regards to the long-term energy master plan, gas, petroleum, nuclear, hydropower and other sources will be pursued as part of the energy mix.

source: Department of Communications

Five countries have presented their proposals on nuclear energy. These include the United States of America, South Korea, Russia, France and China. The target is to connect the first unit to the grid by 2023, at the same time that Eskom plans to retire part of its ageing power plants. With regards to hydro power, the Grand Inga Hydro-electrical Project partnership with the Democratic Republic of Congo will generate over 48 000 megawatts of clean hydro-electricity. South Africa will have access to over 15 000 megawatts.

LAND In terms of proposed legislation, a ceiling of land ownership will be set at a maximum of 12 000 hectares (ha). Foreign nationals will not be allowed to own land in South Africa but will be eligible for long-term leases. The partnership between State and the private sector to develop an Agricultural Policy Action Plan will bring one million ha of under-utilised land into full production over the next three years. The year 2015 will see the establishment of agri-parks, or cooperatives and clusters, in each of the 27 poorest district municipalities to transform rural economies. An initial funding of R2-billion has been made available for the agri-park initiative.

MANUFACTURING Government committed more than R2.8-billion to this sector, through the Manufacturing Competitiveness Enhancement Programme - with the private sector investing over R12.4-billion. There is a three year programme in place to find and develop black industrialists. The Automotive Investment Scheme has unlocked the privatesector investment of R24.5-billion. Exports in the leather and footwear sector grew by 18 percent with significant benefit to the balance of trade. South Africa doubled its Foreign Direct Investment inflows to R88-billion in 2013, while the projections for 2014 were also positive.

LABOUR 2015 will focus on improving labour legislation to further promote worker rights. The Labour Department will review the sectorial determinations of agriculture, forestry, private security, wholesale and retail sectors. The Employment Services Act of 2014 will formally establish a public employment service. The legislation also formally regulates the practices of private employment agencies and temporary employment services, to prevent the abuse of unsuspecting work seekers.

SMALL BUSINESS IS BIG BUSINESS Government will set aside 30 percent of appropriate categories of State procurement for purchasing from SMMEs, cooperatives, as well as township and rural enterprises. The National Youth Development Agency nationally disbursed R25-million to 765 youth-owned micro-enterprises in the last financial year and partnered with the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) and Small Enterprise Finance Agency in a threeway partnership that resulted in a R2.7-billion fund for youth.

SECTOR OVERVIEW / PRIMARY

ENERGY, OIL AND GAS Energy, oil and gas together constitute the fastest growing industry in Western Cape. It is estimated that the market will grow by 4 to 6 percent by the end of 2015 (from 2010). In 2013, energy, oil and gas contributed 2.1 percent to the regional GDP (which is an increase from the 1.7 percent 10 years prior). The economic output of this sector in Western Cape is close to R1-billion, providing employment for approximately 4 000 people. Gas findings off the coast of Africa have created increased Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the sector which reached R24.5-billion between 2004 and 2011. This has the potential to impact Western Cape which is home to some of the country’s largest oil, gas and energy fields. Coal, oil and natural gas are the sectors that attracted the highest levels of FDI in terms of capital value (23 percent) between 2003 and 2013. Cape Town, Saldhana Bay and Mossel Bay operate as the main destinations for facilities dealing with energy, oil and gas. Saldhana Bay has the country’s largest oil storage structure; and PetroSA’s gas-to-liquid refinery, situated in Mossel Bay, is the country’s leading gas facility. There are heightened expectations for an offshore supply base and growth from the Oil and Gas Industrial Development Zone in Saldhana Bay. The anticipation is that this will initiate exponential development of the sector. Western Cape is at the forefront of using alternative energy sources in South Africa. It was the first province to have a sustainable energy strategy and policy for solar water heaters. The Department of Economic Development and Tourism (DEDAT) has been granted an additional R5.9-million in 2014/15; R4-million in 2015/16 and R5.6-million in 2016/17 to be channelled into green economy projects. The key projects are: • The Better Living Challenge increases the up-take of green housing and interior products in the low income housing market • Genius of Place Study (phase three) aims to find solutions to waterrelated problems in informal settlements along the Bergriver area • Carbon Neutral provides a platform to offset Western Cape Government’s carbon footprint whilst also alleviating poverty • Flagship and Communication intends to minimise food waste and address hunger through the better utilisation of our resources

All the major factory waste, namely paper, polythene and aluminum foil is recycled. The inks used are of food grade and hence not harmful to the environment.

The Secondary Sector

- Fiona Wakelin

The manufacturing sector continues to play a significant role in the South African economy despite a decline from 19 percent in 1993 to around 17 percent in 2012. It is considered an important component of Western Cape’s local economy as year-on-year it consistently contributes 15 to 20 percent to the Gross Geographic Product (GGP). Manufacturing is the second largest sector in the Province with a contribution of 17.1 percent to the Regional Gross Domestic Product and is responsible for 25 percent of economic activity in Western Cape. More than 66 percent of the provincial manufacturing sector is situated in the Metro (MERO 2013) and as it is in relative decline also accounts for most of the job losses in the district. Secondary sector recovery in Western Cape is projected at 3.3 percent over the medium term (PERO 2013).

THE GREEN ECONOMY The development and growth of the Green Economy in Western Cape falls under the auspices of the GreenCape initiave (see ONECAPE 2040 pp 20 -21) and presents a number of manufacturing opportunities. The sector currently employs 3 000 people and as one of DEDAT’s focus areas, the Department aims to grow the number of jobs by 6 000 in 2019, to have leveraged R3-million in funding and support and R2-billion in trade and investment by 2017. Manufacturing opportunities exist in the construction of solar water heaters, constructing green buildings and the manufacture of photo-voltaic cells. The National Development Plan and the Industrial Development Plan of Action both identify the green economy as a growth opportunity in which a private-public sector partnership would play a key role. The private sector will be pivotal as investor and consumer while the public sector must ensure the regulatory and institutional frameworks enable green economy businesses to grow and create a viable market for locally manufactured goods.

What is clear over the analysis period is that 1 and 2 night stays are fairly consistent and even growing while stays of 3 nights and longer have declined. This has however been offset by the number of international arrivals, which has seen consistent growth (as presented by WESGRO).

Number of tourist arrivals

9,188,368

Again, while length of stay is an important indicator, it is not a performance benchmark in itself and needs to be assessed relative to all other indicators and developments. The overall positive is that available data reflects that average length of stay has improved in Cape Town in 2012 to 5.8days from 5.5days in 2011 (as presented by WESGRO). Greater Cape Town Expansion The Achilles heel of the hotel industry is that development is driven by the level of demand while demand growth is necessarily capacity driven. The level of demand is constricted to the level of available capacity, and as seen previously in Cape Town, the level of available inventory resulted in a substantial level of demand displacement due to the inability to accommodate demand. The tendency therefore is that only when supply starts reaching critical demand pressure levels, new inventory is planned and introduced, ultimately resulting in a cycle of oversupply while demand again develops and mops up the oversupply.

Our opinion, based on recent performance, is that a gearing level of 50% - or less - is optimum, as projects that engage higher gearing levels are prone to encounter often insurmountable challenges during down-cycles. When one considers that recent history has reflected the hotel industry business cycle as being approximately 5 years, then any over-geared project is prone to encounter challenges within the typical development loan term of ten years. Post FIFA World Cup An unfortunate development when South Africa won the right to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup, was that there were no indications of the looming financial crisis. As the industry approached the World Cup, on the back of a debilitating 2009 trading environment, it was clear that major challenges were confronting the hotel industry, contrary to the 2006/7 belief that there would be an accelerated popularity of “destination South Africa�. The hotel industry generally accepted that a challenging period of 24 to 36 months would follow the event, and that there would then be a gradual improvement. What was not expected was the resilience that the South African hotel industry has shown, with the recovery starting as early as the last quarter of 2011 and turning to a growth phase in 2013. As all benchmarks currently indicate, the expectation is for a bullish 2014 and the mixed emotions of winning the FIFA 2010 bid, followed by the deflation driven by the economic crisis post the event, are now translating to conservative optimism. Hotel Operations versus Hotel Ownership This has been the eternal debate in the hotel industry, which has effectively been addressed to a great extent by global and most regional brands especially at the mid-upscale to luxury levels - aligning their operations away from ownership to management. The risk and reward are essentially left to the owner of the hotel. Management brands have furthermore also become extremely averse even to leasing. What this ultimately means is that hotels today are developed by owners who adopt the risk-reward challenge, while there still are some hotel companies, albeit very few, that own and operate their own hotels. This is prevalent in the budget and economy segments, as well as the selectservice mid-market segment. The operating structures at these segments are challenging to generate a reasonable management fee to the hotel brand. The issue of whether the owner or the manger generates the return is essentially two sides of the same coin. For the management company to generate fees, the hotel has to generate revenue. The common perception that management bears no risk is not always true, as a considerable part of the fees are based on the EBITDA generated by the hotel. Effectively, the hotel management company usually sees a margin of around 6%-7% of revenue, while hotels in a normal trading environment generate an EBITDA of between 25%-35%, and in some cases even higher. This is reflective of the fact that the benefits remain with the owner, and the shortcoming is that this return is often only questioned in the shorter down-cycles but not necessarily evaluated in the longer up-cycles.

VALUE PROPOSITION

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, DR NORRIS DALTON

CONTACT INFORMATION Chief Executive Officer: Dr Norris Dalton Education Support: Lelanie Greeff Student enquiries:

The South African Institute of Management (SAIM) was established by three CEOs who used their own capital for the start-up of the non-profit institute. One of the founders, late Harold Morcombe, recognised the need for an institute that teaches and focuses on business management practices. SAIM, although a South African organisation, is a business based on the principles adopted by the Chartered Management Institute (UK). Primarily, SAIM aims to serve as the examining body responsible for defining the format, content and standards of manager-development programmes offered by the institution, the conduct of national examinations; and the award of certificates and diplomas to students who have successfully passed the examinations.

Morcombe planned for tuition to be available through approved education providers in both the public and private sectors. No person who wished to better themselves was turned away due to lack of educational history or qualifications. He believed that students should prepare for their SAIM examinations according to their preferred method of study – whether it be self-driven or direct, one-onone correspondence. In the 1980s, SAIM formed membership services which represented a broad diversity of business managers, providing opportunity for networking and business development in all spheres of business. Since then, the upliftement of governance in rural schools, projects of life-skills and business skills in support of Adult Basic Education and Training; and projects to address the needs of the unemployed and HIV/AIDS awareness were conceived.

EDITORIAL | CAPE TOWN FILM STUDIOS

“Since the advent of democrac y 20 years ago, the rapid growth of international film production services in South Africa has seen the emergence of Cape Town as the industry’s growth centre, with Cape Town Film Studios as its catalyst.”

South Africa has a highly-developed film infrastructure. Since the inception of commercial television in the 1970s and the emergence of the international export industry, this infrastructure – supported by South Africa’s sophisticated advertising, communications, IT, hospitality and transport sectors – has achieved global recognition. Originally, the industry was mostly situated in and around Johannesburg – South Africa’s economic hub and most-populated city. However, since the advent of democracy 20 years ago, the rapid growth of international film production services in South Africa has seen the emergence of Cape Town as the industry’s growth centre, with Cape Town Film Studios (CTFS) as its catalyst. Situated in Faure, on the Cape Flats, about 35 kilometres from Cape Town and easily accessible from the N2 highway, it is the only custom-built, high-end studio of its kind in Africa, and the first investment in permanent film infrastructure in South Africa’s history. CTFS’ Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Nico Dekker, says that the Studio could never have happened without the belief, support and long-term vision of Marcel Golding’s Sabido Investments and Anant Singh’s Videovision. They are the main shareholders who drove the studio dream, starting in 2003, with finance largely from their own pockets. In 2009, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) contributed R16-million to the construction of the mega studio; and further contributions came from the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) and the City of Cape Town. The Provincial Government of the Western Cape holds a 10 percent share in the Studios through Wesgro.

Construction has already begun on a double stage separated by a 20 ton sound wall; and a new workshop, due for completion at the beginning of 2016. To date, 24 productions have been hosted at CTFS, including the comic book adaptation Dredd (DNA Films/Kalahari Pictures); the paranormal thriller Chronicle (20th Century Fox/Film Afrika), Labyrinth (Scott Free/Tandem/Film Afrika), Safe House (Universal Pictures/Moonlighting), The Borrowers (Working Title/ Moonlighting), Long Walk to Freedom (Videovision), Mad Max: Fury Road (Kennedy Miller Productions/Moonlighting Films) and Eye in the Sky (Raindog Film/e-One Productions/Moonlighting Films). The pirate–themed high-end miniseries, Black Sails (Starz Entertainment/Film Africa) is the latest production to taking advantage of the facilities and expertise offered by the Studios, and is now in its third season. “Figures that we got back from the DTI, show that productions which used the studio in the four years of its lifetime employed 47 000 people (mostly from previously disadvantaged communities), and invested R2-billion, with an economic impact of R6-billion. The Studio’s biggest role was to change the image of the country from a location-based film-making destination, to a manufacturing-based facilitation. While Cape Town, with its stunning scenery and excellent crews, has established itself as a successful location for movie commercials, it relies only on small teams of trained workers. Studio-based filmmaking creates three times more jobs than a location-based film. The productions using the Studios offer unique opportunities to carpenters, builders, artisans, and professionals such as architects, as a result of the manufacturing style of filmmaking,” says Dekker.
