Goscor Lift Trucks (GLT), a leading provider of forklifts and materials handling solutions, is thrilled to announce the relocation of its Johannesburg operations to a new, state-of-the-art facility.  This move marks a significant milestone in GLT's ongoing commitment to enhancing service delivery, operational efficiency, and employee well-being. After 40 years at the previous location, with expansions into additional buildings in Neutron Road in 2013 and again in 2021, GLT's new premises at Lords View Industrial Park, Midrand, signifies a new era for the company.  The modern facility, spanning 13,784m², is designed with 11, 245m2 warehouse and workshop space, and offices to accommodate 200 employees for members of the Johannesburg branch, shared with GLT Head Office and Group shared services employees. A rich history of accomplishments began in 1984 with the inception of Goscor and the introduction of Tennant and Crown to the South African market.  In 1993, Daewoo Forklifts were introduced, marking a significant expansion in the product lineup.  By 2001, Goscor Lift Trucks had become its own company.  The rebranding of Daewoo to Doosan in 2005 and the introduction of Bendi Very Narrow Aisle forklifts in 2009 further solidified their market presence.  The company continued to innovate with the introduction of Sunlight batteries in 2016 and DEC tow motors in 2018. The appointment of Cecil Oates as Managing Director in 2020 marked a pivotal moment for the company, serving as the driving force behind the group's rebrand in 2023 and inspiring the move to new premises aimed at streamlining operations.  The branch became standalone in 2022, having previously been part of the GLT Head Office in Johannesburg.  The recently introduced Movexx electric tugs are the latest addition to the product diversification, all of which are poised to become long-standing OEMs.  The current rebranding of Doosan to Bobcat forklifts in 2023/2024, the 40-year partnership with Crown, and the 15-year partnership with Bendi highlight the company's enduring commitment to excellence and innovation. According to Ronald Ryan, General Manager for the Johannesburg Branch, "The decision to move was driven by the need for operational cohesion and the desire to combine all departments under one roof.  The new premises are designed to be more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and conducive to better service delivery for our customers."  The new premises boast a modern, energy-efficient building equipped with solar energy storage, capable of operating during power disruptions, highlighting GLT’s commitment to sustainability. The company has invested in 600 x 550W solar panels, operating a 500kW inverter with a 20ft battery container housing 430kWh of storage capacity.  This setup allows for significant savings on diesel costs previously incurred from generator use at the old site and generates an impressive 512MWh per year. The new premises offers a collaborative environment that enhances team dynamics and morale.  The facilities include a spacious, contemporary canteen, state-of-the-art workstations, all technology amenities built in, and abundant natural light, fostering a comfortable and productive workspace. Additionally, the office park location ensures a safer environment for both staff and customers. Located just 5km from the old premises, the new location provides convenience while maintaining proximity to existing operations. “Employees are excited about the new facility, which surpasses the visuals they had seen previously. The move is expected to improve team dynamics, foster collaboration, and boost morale,” believes Ryan. “For customers, the new location offers a larger parts housing, better access for technicians and walk-in customers, and an overall improvement in service due to the harmonised operations between departments,” he adds. The significantly expanded parts holding facilitates improved distribution and access, further enhancing operational efficiency. Combining workshops into a communal workshop for all departments ensures operational cohesion and streamlined workflows across the organisation. The move to the new facility has fast-tracked the company's integration of advanced technology across all areas of operations, significantly enhancing efficiency. This includes the implementation of high-tech systems aimed at reducing paper consumption and promoting sustainability. A key focus is on equipping technicians with technology for digital customer engagement, ensuring seamless and modern service interactions. “Even with these advancements,” Ryan affirms, “Goscor Lift Trucks remains committed to preserving the professional, personal touch that distinguishes the company in the industry.” Staff development is a key priority for GLT at the new location. Central to this effort is a Developer Performance Centre to continue training its technicians on a national scale. “This advanced training facility will enable us to train up to 30 technicians per month on a rotational basis, ensuring continuous skills development and excellence in service delivery,” states Ryan. GLT’s relocation to the state-of-the-art facility at Lords View Industrial Park marks a significant milestone in the company's history. This move not only enhances operational efficiency and sustainability but also underscores GLT's commitment to employee well-being, customer satisfaction, and continuous innovation. With advanced technology, improved facilities, and a focus on staff development, GLT is well-positioned for future growth and success.   About Goscor Lift Trucks (GLT):  Goscor Lift Trucks, part of the Goscor Group, has been a leading provider of forklifts and materials handling solutions since 1984.

Globally, organisations are being forced to disclose and report extensively on their triple bottom line which has given rise to the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) reporting frameworks. This framework is based on the ideology of organisations that prioritise sustainability being more resilient in the long term. The Sustainable Finance Strategies for Manufacturers Executive Short Course explores the role of sustainable finance in transitioning organisations to becoming resilient operations. For this to occur, business operations and financial management at all levels of an organisation need to be reconstructed and rethought. This course adds to the sustainability discourse by examining theories around investment principles, ESG, finance metrics and shareholder return time frames. This course allows participants to engage critically with sustainable finance tools and metrics as well as green taxonomies. The purpose of the course is to create the space for executives to explore sustainable finance principles and multidisciplinary frameworks which may be relevant to their own organisations. The course will provide participants with theoretical and practical tools to allow them to critically engage with sustainable finance constructs particularly pertaining to sustainable business and investment analysis. The objectives of the course, which will be covered over the three days will be the following: To understand how the current financial system operates and why it is a strategic imperative for there to be a change to enable better value to be created for organisations and society. To develop an appreciation of how sustainable finance contributes to the broader sustainability field through examining instruments such as ESG, green bonds, integrated reporting, and impact investing. To identify future risk portfolios that organisations will face and what role environmental and climate change risks will have in these portfolios. To understand the finance, innovation, and sustainability nexus. To undertake a gap analysis of current sustainability and integrated reporting frameworks and identify where the opportunities are for sustainable finance. To identify how the implementation of sustainable finance will alter business models and key value metrics such as cost of capital, profitability, return on investments and debt financing. Course cost: The course costs R12,780 per participant. This is fully inclusive of all refreshments, teas and lunches over the course of the three days, as well as stationery. The cost excludes accommodation. Venue and accommodation: The course is run at the TWIMS campus, 74 Everton Road, Kloof. Each day starts at 08:30 and concludes at 16:30.

The eThekwini Municipality today announced the Southern Sun Hotel Group as the preferred bidder for the lease and redevelopment of the Elangeni and Maharani hotels for a period of 50 years.   This follows a comprehensive public participation process and request for proposals initiated by the municipality in terms of the applicable regulatory processes.   The redevelopment will enable the municipality to realise its vision as outlined in the Inner-City Local Area Plan, which is to protect and enhance the beachfront as a key tourism asset.   Southern Sun is a Level 1 B-BBEE South African registered company which underscores the municipality's commitment to transformation and to use its property portfolio to promote economic transformation in the property sector and further comply with Section 25 (5) of the Constitution which places a mandatory requirement on the state to take reasonable legislative and other measures, within its available resources, to foster conditions which enable citizens to gain access to land on an equitable basis.    The redevelopment entails an estimated capital investment of R1 billion, including the refurbishment of the Elangeni and Maharani hotels as well as the Garden Court South Beach and The Edward hotels which are also owned by Southern Sun.    In addition, a fund of R5 million will be made available to restore and maintain the Sunken Gardens, a historically significant park owned by the municipality on the beachfront in front of the hotels.    Some of the upgrades to the hotels include:  Maharani Tower The upgrade of the lobby sense of arrival with enhanced finishes, including a new reception desk, re-carpeted and painted staircase and upgraded public bathrooms. Enhance the second-floor level with an enclosed pre-function and overflow restaurant that enjoy sea views and access to natural air and light. Full refurbishment of the suites which includes 3 presidential suites combined with the 43 high-floor level rooms. These will be designated as the “Club floor” experience, providing guests with access to the Club Floor exclusive area use bringing a five-star element back to the Durban Beachfront. The rooftop pool bar which has some of the best views Durban has to offer. This area will be refurbished to create a modern, attractive pool space with sophisticated bar offering.   Elangeni Tower   The modernisation of the lobby and refurbishment of the bedrooms and bathrooms, along with the introduction of natural light into the conference area Introduction of a new restaurant concept for the old Daruma Space, proposing “Spice” as a modern Indian concept restaurant which could be internally owned or rented to a third party. The redevelopment also brings with it innovative solutions that promote sustainability and minimise the impact on the environment, including the installation of solar panels on both towers to augment the electricity supply and grey water system which produces roughly 45 ML per annum and should save approximately 35 % of the total annual water usage.   The Southern Sun Elangeni and Maharani currently employs approximately 450 employees, and all those jobs will be retained with a further 200 jobs created during the refurbishment phase which is expected to last for 36 months after commencement.   EThekwini Municipality Mayor Councillor Cyril Xaba said he was proud of how the municipality had dealt with the issue of the lease of these important properties and particularly thanked the City Manager Musa Mbhele and the Real Estate team for their dedication in managing this complex process in line with the various laws and regulations governing the municipality.   “We wish to also thank Southern Sun for staying the course with our municipality despite the numerous challenges experienced by our province and particularly the hospitality industry over recent years, which includes the Covid-19 pandemic, the devasting floods and July civil unrest. Southern Sun has demonstrated its commitment to both transformation and inclusive economic development of this important City asset. We are particularly excited about the significant economic impact and job creation that the redevelopment brings for our City,” said Mayor Xaba.        Marcel von Aulock, the CEO of Southern Sun, stated that the Group is delighted that the City has managed and concluded the process for the selection of a preferred bidder for these iconic properties which are vital to the long-term maintenance and rejuvenation of the Durban Beachfront.   “Southern Sun has a long history of operating on the beachfront and the area is very much part of our DNA with some of the best hoteliers South Africa has produced developing their careers at these hotels.

This heritage month, The Do More Foundation  is shining a spotlight on the parents of Nkomazi, who are sparking a lifelong love of reading in their young children using proudly South African books that provide stories that resonate with their own culture and heritage. At the core of this initiative lies the Read and Play at Home programme , a collaborative effort that emphasises the importance of local languages and cultural contexts in early literacy development. By providing parents in Nkomazi with culturally relevant books and training, The Do More Foundation’s Read and Play at Home programme has fostered a deep bond between families, empowering parents to become active participants in their children’s education. Parents are becoming their children’s first teachers, sharing stories that celebrate local cultures and languages. By providing culturally relevant books and interactive learning tools, we are sparking a lifelong love of reading in over 2,200 families – with more to come! This is our contribution towards the shocking Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) showed that in 2021, 81% of South African Grade 4 learners could not read for meaning in any language. This is up from 78% in 2016. South Africa was ranked last out of the 43 countries and experienced the largest decline of all the countries participating. The Read and Play at Home programme is a shining example of how collaborative efforts can make a significant impact on early childhood development. As we continue to navigate the challenges of ensuring quality early childhood education for all, initiatives like Read and Play at Home provide a blueprint for success, demonstrating the power of partnership in shaping the future of our children. We would like to expand this programme to more young children and families across South Africa - let's connect and #DoMore.  Contact our Partnerships Team to work with us to create better tomorrows for South Africa’s young children, their families, and communities:  iris.naidoo@domore.org.za

As I reflect on my path to becoming a TechWomen 2024 Emerging Leader, I realize that rejection and resilience paved the way for this remarkable opportunity. In 2014, I first discovered TechWomen, a program that would become a beacon of inspiration. Three years later, I took the leap and applied. Although I was selected as an alternate candidate, I remained on the sidelines, eagerly awaiting another chance.   Fast-forward to 2023, when the TechWomen call for applications reignited my passion. A fellow woman in tech, Senele Goba, encouraged me to apply, sharing a success story of a South African representative in her 50s. My mentor, David White, echoed this sentiment in a timely email, emphasizing my suitability for the program.   With renewed determination, I submitted my application on January 10, 2024. March brought the welcome news of my shortlisting, followed by an interview and eventual selection as one of five South African representatives.   The reality of embarking on a five-week journey away from family hit hard, but the excitement of joining a diverse group of STEM leaders soon took over. I bonded with my fellow SA teammates – Dr. Emma Molobi, Apiwe Hotele, Sarah McEwan, and Ntokozo Msiza – through a WhatsApp group, solidifying our camaraderie before we even met.   On September 11, we converged at OR Tambo, proudly sporting our South African flag. As we jetted off to San Francisco, our connection transcended nationality – we became a family united in our pursuit of innovation and progress.   The TechWomen Welcome Orientation and Cultural Reception in Silicon Valley left me awestruck. Surrounded by 100 driven women from around the world, I felt the collective energy of individuals committed to meaningful impact.   This marks the beginning of my TechWomen journey. Stay tuned for tales from Silicon Valley, the epicenter of technological advancement.   Key Takeaways:  Perseverance in the face of rejection Power of mentorship and supportive networks Embracing diversity and global connections   The Journey Continues...
