## Celebrating Leadership and Innovation: Reflections on KwaZulu-Natal's Business Landscape in 2025
As we conclude 2025 and reflect on another transformative year for KwaZulu-Natal’s business landscape, this December edition of Business Sense offers not just insight but inspiration. At the heart of this issue is our cover feature on Minenhle Dlamini, managing director of Gagasi FM, whose leadership journey embodies resilience, authenticity, and purpose. Minenhle’s philosophy, “Create a culture where everybody feels like they belong,” sets the tone for a publication that honours inclusive leadership and the enduring spirit of entrepreneurship.
We celebrate the leaders shaping our province’s economic future. From reflections on the R100.1 billion in investment commitments announced at the KZN Investment Conference 2025, signalling a new era of growth, to a powerful tribute to industry stalwart Henk Duys, whose lifetime of dedication has left a legacy in the metals and engineering sector, this edition showcases excellence in action.
As businesses navigate increasingly complex around women in business and community advancement. environments, our contributors offer timely guidance on issues ranging from global tax reform, workplace grievances, and the true cost of poor accounting, through to payroll innovation and the importance of strong partnerships in business and in education. We also explore the importance of reinvention, and the enduring value of integrity and long-term vision.
This month, we proudly highlight the grand finale of the KZN Top Business Women 2025, a celebration of leadership, courage, and impact that continues to shape conversations
We are also proud to bring you our new brand – Motor Sense through which we will explore a variety of vehicles on our roads.
