RS South Africa has once again achieved Level 2 B-BBEE verification. This achievement reaffirms the company’s commitment to meaningful transformation, empowerment and inclusive economic growth across South Africa. The verification reflects progress across several key pillars of B-BBEE.

A story that reflects this commitment is that of Microtech, a 100% Black-owned company led by entrepreneur, Vincent Bongwe. Through the provision of electronic and industrial tools and components, RS South Africa has supported Microtech in enhancing its operational capacity to maintain and repair production line stitching machines for clients. The support has enabled the business to grow sustainably, while allowing Vincent to mentor and transfer skills to his employees, demonstrating transformation in action.

It has strengthened our ability to deliver to our customers and created opportunities for skills transfer within our team.”

RS South Africa remains committed to advancing transformation through enterprise development, upskilling initiatives and continued investment in local communities, ensuring the benefits of empowerment are shared across its network of employees, suppliers and customers.
