Chris Stofberg, Managing Director, mhb With the end of 2024 only a few weeks away, it’s natural for us to reflect on the year gone by. There have been major political events worldwide, from the media-frenzied US election to the divisive and ongoing crisis in the Middle East. And now, as members of BRICS nations, we wait anxiously for the potential economic effect of a possible US-imposed tariff increase.  Despite these global challenges, I continue to feel a deep sense of hope that a united South Africa under a democratic Government of National Unity can continue to overcome its many challenges – united in the spirit of Ubuntu. I am forever grateful that I am where I am, here at the southern tip of Africa in this beautiful country we call home. 2024 has been a busy and exciting year for mhb and we have a lot to celebrate. In the first quarter, we introduced two new brands – Qiqi and Keune – and we hosted a record number of guests on board the MSC Splendida to Mozambique. Sweet also celebrated its 13th anniversary. In the second quarter Simone Badenhorst, from Flirt Hair in Pretoria took gold for South Africa in the prestigious International Wella TrendVision Award, following in the footsteps of Charles Junior Louw and proving to the world that South African hairdressers rank among the most skilled in the world. The limited edition Reuzel X Kyone Clipper made landfall and two lucky winners walked away with one each at our wildly popular Reuzel Look & Learn workshops held in Joburg and Cape Town and presented by South Africa’s Reuzel Scumbassador Renaldo Da Silva. The last quarter of 2024 saw mhb win not one, but four Woman&Home Beauty Awards. A major highlight for our company this year was the introduction of our new mhb logo. Our focus is on making the transition to the new logo as sustainable as possible by allowing old materials to be replaced as new materials are needed. Our refreshed website, with new features, will go live in 2025. It is my sincere hope that we have been able to positively impact your business and hairdressing success throughout 2024. At mhb, we measure our worth by your success and we are committed to continuously deliver on that commitment by improving our services and offering to you. Looking ahead, I am excited about 2025. We have several new projects in the pipeline including plans to expand the mhb brand stable and grow our product offering to serve a larger portion of the hair and beauty industry. We are also looking to introduce brands that overlap with our industry to make mhb an even more robust company with a steady and reliable flow of products and services. I cannot wait to share the details with you. But all in good time. As always, we welcome any feedback or suggestions you may have for improving our service to you. While we may not be able to implement every idea, your input makes us aware of how we can do better in areas we may not have considered previously. In closing, I hope you find the time to wind down and take a rest over the holiday season, even if it is just for a few days. On behalf of the mhb family, I want to extend a massive thank-you for your support, big or small. We appreciate every one of you. Please travel safely, and I look forward to seeing you in the new year!

In the dynamic landscape of South African business, understanding and complying with the Companies Act 71 of 2008 is crucial for entrepreneurs and established business owners alike. This landmark legislation, which came into effect in 2011, revolutionised the corporate landscape, introducing significant changes aimed at fostering entrepreneurship, enhancing corporate governance, and aligning South African business practices with international standards. The Evolution of Company Structures One of the most notable features of the Act is the introduction of new company types. Alongside the familiar private (Pty Ltd) and public (Ltd) companies, the Act brought in personal liability companies (Inc), state-owned companies (SOC Ltd), and non-profit companies (NPC). This diversification allows for greater flexibility in business structuring, catering to a wide range of organisational needs and objectives. For instance, private companies, limited to 50 shareholders, offer a balance of limited liability and relative ease of management, making them popular among small to medium-sized enterprises. Public companies, on the other hand, can have unlimited shareholders and are eligible for stock exchange listing, providing access to public capital markets. Simplifying the Path to Incorporation The Act significantly streamlined the company formation process, reducing bureaucratic hurdles and encouraging entrepreneurship. The introduction of the Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) as a single governing document, replacing the previous dual system of Memorandum and Articles of Association, simplified company constitution. Moreover, the Act removed minimum share capital requirements, lowering the financial barrier to company formation. This simplification extends to the registration process itself. Prospective business owners can now register their companies with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) through a more straightforward procedure. However, it's crucial to carefully consider the choice of company structure, as it impacts everything from tax obligations to reporting requirements and liability protection. Strengthening Corporate Governance Enhanced accountability is a cornerstone of the new Act. It places increased emphasis on director duties and liabilities, ensuring that those at the helm of companies are held to high standards of conduct. For certain companies, the Act mandates the appointment of a social and ethics committee, reflecting a growing focus on corporate social responsibility. The Act also introduces more rigorous financial reporting and disclosure requirements. Public companies, for instance, must now rotate their auditors periodically, a measure designed to maintain auditor independence and enhance financial transparency. A Lifeline for Struggling Businesses Recognising the challenges faced by businesses in a competitive economy, the Act introduces the concept of business rescue. This provision offers an alternative to liquidation for companies in financial distress, allowing for the appointment of a business rescue practitioner to oversee a restructuring of the business. This process includes a temporary moratorium on legal proceedings against the company, providing breathing room for the development and implementation of a turnaround strategy.   Empowering Shareholders Shareholder rights receive significant attention in the Act. It introduces "appraisal rights" for dissenting shareholders, allowing them to demand fair value for their shares in certain circumstances. The Act also enhances minority shareholder protection through improved access to company information and the ability to bring derivative actions on behalf of the company. Compliance: A Continuous Journey For business owners, compliance with the Companies Act is not a one-time event but an ongoing process. It begins with choosing the right company structure and extends through every aspect of business operations. Proper record-keeping is paramount. Companies must maintain accurate financial records, prepare annual financial statements, and keep statutory registers up to date. The Act requires companies to file annual returns with CIPC, a crucial step in maintaining good standing. Financial reporting standards vary depending on the company type. While public and state-owned companies must adhere to full International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), private companies and NPCs have the option of using IFRS for SMEs. Regardless of the standard used, ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of financial reporting is essential. Corporate governance extends beyond mere compliance. The King IV Code on Corporate Governance provides a framework for ethical and effective leadership. While not all of its principles are legally mandated, they represent best practices that can enhance a company's reputation and performance. The Broader Compliance Landscape While the Companies Act is central to corporate governance in South Africa, it's part of a broader regulatory ecosystem. Business owners must also navigate legislation such as the Employment Equity Act, the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Act, the Consumer Protection Act, and the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). Each of these laws brings its own compliance requirements. For instance, qualifying companies must implement affirmative action measures and submit annual employment equity reports. B-BBEE certification is crucial for companies seeking to do business with the government or large corporations. The Consumer Protection Act demands fair and transparent business practices, while POPIA requires robust data protection measures. Staying Ahead of the Curve In this complex regulatory environment, staying informed is crucial. Business owners should make a habit of monitoring updates from CIPC, attending industry seminars, and consulting regularly with legal and financial advisors. It's also wise to keep an eye on proposed amendments to the Companies Act and related legislation, as the regulatory landscape continues to evolve. In conclusion, the Companies Act of 2008 represents a significant modernization of South African corporate law. By simplifying company formation, enhancing corporate governance, and strengthening shareholder rights, it aims to create a more robust and competitive business environment. For business owners, understanding and complying with the Act is not just a legal necessity but a strategic imperative. Those who embrace its principles and integrate them into their business practices are well-positioned to thrive in South Africa's dynamic economy. In navigating this complex landscape, remember that compliance is not just about avoiding penalties; it's about building a sustainable, ethical, and successful business. By staying informed, implementing best practices, and seeking professional advice when needed, business owners can turn regulatory compliance from a challenge into a competitive advantage.

The fabulous BHE Styler will keep your clients happy with exciting styling opportunities and healthy strong hair. Let's talk about three excellent reasons why the Keratin Infused Plates on BHE Stylers are such an awesome addition to your styling and salon’s equipment range! 1. The BHE Styler ‘s unique SMART plates are infused with keratin - a protein that makes up a big part of hair. This means that when you use these stylers every day in the salon, your clients’ hair is protected from heat damage. The keratin layer on the plates protects hair during use, creating a barrier between the plates and the hair, so delicate locks don't get fried while you're styling them. This added protection helps keep hair looking healthy and shiny, giving your clients the results they want, easily and effectively! 2. Using these keratin-infused plates make even the most difficult hair super smooth and frizz-free. The plates glide smoothly over the hair, reducing friction and minimizing frizz, while the keratin helps seal the hair cuticles, so hair stays sleek and frizz-free all day long after styling. 3. Intele Sense on the plates ensures even heat distribution for effortless and smooth gliding and styling of hair. Take a look at what the BHE Styler is doing for the stylists who have taken their creative game to the next level with it! If you want to maximise the protection for your clients’ hair during service after service, shielding hair from heat damage and producing the most incredibly shiny smooth, frizz-free locks, BHE Stylers with Keratin Infused Plates are a must-have. So go ahead, get yourself one and add an amazing new tool to your styling and salon equipment range and start enjoying the benefits of keratin-infused styling! Automated technology makes your styling easier: • The stylers offer advanced temperature control with a one-touch setting and clear LED display • Train your styler to memorise your last temperature setting – switch on and style! • Stylers come with a 360 degree swivel cord for incredible freedom of movement while you create. Features for a safer workspace: The iron’s plates come complete with a protective heat guard, and the BHE styler features intelligent sleep technology that puts the styler into hibernation mode after 20 minutes non-use, for safety and peace of mind on a busy day. Working internationally? No problem! The BHE Styler automatically adjust itself to varying power sources with international voltage adaptability, fully operational with mains voltage ranging from 90v-240v, 50Hz ac. In the unlikely event that your BHE product develops a fault, these top quality stylers have a two year guarantee! BHE - Hairstyling has never been so comfortable and well supported by a brand!

With  BARBERS’ STORIES  we want to celebrate our  heroes . Men  who are visionaries, artists,  barbers  who have revolutionised an ancient craft. A small European tour, north to south, meeting them on the way so that we can tell you their stories. The journey begins. VALDAGNO Italy Nestled in the Venetian Prealps hills in the Vicenza province is Valdagno, a small gem on the River Agno, boasting Medieval and Renaissance architecture. Steeped in nature (a 10-minute drive takes you to the ski slopes and 20 minutes to the Little Dolomites), Valdagno also enjoys a lively culture that gravitates around the 18th-century Palazzo Festari. This cultural hub is home to a Modern Art Gallery, the Super Theatre, and La Favorita Park, both of rationalist design. It hosts international jazz and contemporary art festivals, offering unique experiences for the culturally inclined. The heart of Valdagno beats in its looms and tanneries. The NUMAT (Textile Machinery Museum) is a must-visit for history enthusiasts, showcasing the industrial archaeology machinery used to produce quality textiles by the company founded by the Marzotto family in 1836. The town also boasts small handicrafts of excellence, specializing in the processing of wool and the stitching of premium leathers for Made in Italy haute couture and luxury automotive. And when you want to unplug, you'll find yourself surrounded by the company of others, as is typical of the Veneto region. The local culture revolves around social gatherings, often around a good glass in this case biancorosso. This liqueur apéritif can only be found at Carlotto, a quaint 100-year-old liqueur and spirits producer, a favorite haunt of young people. [BARBER] Alex Dani Sansugaro @THERIPPER_BARBERSHOP If you are looking for a barbershop where the profession runs in the family, look no further: The Ripper Barbershop in Valdagno is the spot-on place for you. Alex Dani, founder and owner, is a third- generation barber with a wealth of experience and expertise passed down from his grandfather and father. Unlike them, Alex Dani has also honed his skills internationally, spending years abroad and developing a skillset in the Anglo-Saxon world. His decision to return to the Vicenza province, where he's from, is a testament to his commitment to providing high-quality barber services. Whether it's shaving with a machine and scissors or the old-fashioned blade and hot cloth, beard trimming, modern and classic cuts, hot compresses with essential oils, special treatments, DEPOT® products for hair and beard guarantee an exceptional result. In his barbershop, you will find both trends and the best craftsmanship. His clients, whether they're hipsters with a beard or lovers of a flawless shave, often say that Alex Dani "has blades running through his veins". This might explain why he chose to name his barbershop The Ripper, a term that signifies exceptional skill. But for Alex, it's also a nod to the knife skills of a certain historical figure, Jack the Ripper!

On the 20th of November, 2024, an exciting new chapter for  The Bluebeards Revenge  was unveiled at the rebrand launch event in Cape Town. Hosted at the cool, retro-inspired Three Feathers Diner, the event was a unique blend of old-school charm and contemporary flair - just like the brand itself. A Vintage Vibe with a Modern Twist The venue, Three Feathers Diner, set the tone for the event with its unmistakable old-school vibe. A mix of muscle cars, vintage bikes, and grungy design elements filled the space, evoking a sense of nostalgia while seamlessly complementing the fresh, bold direction  The Bluebeards Revenge  is taking. With its walls lined with memorabilia, the diner felt like stepping into a time capsule - perfectly quirky and effortlessly cool. As guests arrived, they were welcomed with complimentary drinks and an opportunity to soak in the atmosphere. In keeping with the brand's commitment to luxury grooming, a hand scrub and moisturiser treatment were available for guests, ensuring everyone felt pampered from the moment they walked through the door. A Star-Studded Affair The rebrand launch attracted an impressive array of social media influencers, celebrities, and media personalities, all eager to catch a glimpse of what  The Bluebeards Revenge  had in store. With so many familiar faces in attendance, the room buzzed with excitement, anticipation, and, of course, plenty of Instagram-worthy moments. Photos courtesy Larry English Larry Le Roux, General Manager of HairCair Distributors, welcomed everyone to the event. He brought the crowd's attention to Lelani de Jager and Glen Summers - two key educators for the brand - who shared the story behind  The Bluebeards Revenge . With decades of experience in the grooming industry, Lelani and Glen explained why the brand felt it was time for a rebrand and what it meant for the future of their products. The story was not just about a logo change but a deeper evolution of their commitment to providing quality products and a refined grooming experience. Grooming in Action The true heart of the event lay in the live demonstrations by expert barbers and stylists. Models sat patiently as stylists and barbers worked their magic, using  The Bluebeards Revenge  products to create everything from sharp fades to perfectly styled beards. It was a fantastic way to see the products in action, with attendees getting an up-close look at how the range could elevate their own grooming routines. Photos courtesy Larry English Guests were able to ask questions, take notes, and gain insights from the professionals showcasing their work, making the experience both informative and interactive.
