- Strengthening Transformation Through People and Partnership
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa: RS South Africa, a trading brand of RS Group plc (LSE: RS1), a global provider of product and service solutions for industrial customers, 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, with notable improvements in Management Control and Skills Development while maintaining performance in Ownership, Enterprise Development, Supplier Development and Socio-Economic Development. RS South Africa’s transformation journey continues to focus on driving long-term impact through opportunities that uplift people, enable enterprise growth, and strengthen local communities.
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 employee, demonstrating transformation in action.
“Our renewed Level 2 B-BBEE verification reflects the tangible outcomes of our transformation strategy,” says Lebohang Kungoane, B-BBEE Compliance Specialist at RS South Africa. “It is not just about achieving a scorecard result. It is about empowering people, enabling business growth, and fostering skills that contribute to South Africa’s economic resilience.”
Vincent Bongwe adds, “RS South Africa’s support has made a meaningful difference to my business. It has strengthened our ability to deliver for our customers and created opportunities for skills transfer within our team. It is encouraging to partner with a company that invests in sustainable growth.”

\”The counsel on Public Relations is not an advertising man but he advocates for advertising where that is indicated. Very often he is called in by an advertising agency to supplement its work on behalf of a client. His work and that of the advertising agency do not conflict with or duplicate each other.\” – Edward Bernays

People as disparate as Malcolm X and John D. Rockefeller both spoke to the power and importance of public image. Since PR is something that people who are so fundamentally different can agree on, you know there must be something fundamentally important about it. If you \’re still not convinced that Public Relations is absolutely critical to the success of your business, you\’ll change your mind after reading this selection of quotes.

And certainly when I reached La Chorerra in 1971 I had a price on my head by the FBI, I was running out of money, I was at the end of my rope. And then “THEY” recruited me and said, “you know, with a mouth like yours there\’s a place for you in our organization“. And I\’ve worked in deep background positions about which the less said the better. And then about 15 years ago they shifted me into Public Relations and I\’ve been there to the present. – Terence McKenna
