EDITOR’S WORD

the future of payments: why retailers need digital wallet expertise now

Visa’s Digital Wallet Report in 2023 showed that, in the next five years, digital wallet usage is projected to double, with transaction volumes growing from 752 billion transactions in 2023 to 1.4 trillion in 2028. This growth will be seen across use cases from P2P payments to remittances, and from merchant payments to worker payments.

Commenting on digital wallets, Ecentric business development lead Paul Wenborn, believes that digital wallets offer more than payment convenience as they unlock transformative opportunities for financial access, agility, and innovation across South Africa’s diverse economic landscape.

Wenborn notes that retailers with an eye on the future would do well to sit down with an expert in digital wallet technology

and the broader payments ecosystem to understand how the technology should form part of their payments ecosystem.

WOMEN IN HARDWARE RETAILING

With August being regarded as women’s month in South Africa, DIY and Industrial Trade News has taken the initiative to publish a special feature honouring dedicated women in the hardware retail and supply chain industry who have built successful careers in a traditionally male-dominated space. We honour the unsung heroines of our industry.

breaking barriers, building success: women in hardware retail

In the aisles lined with power tools, lumber, and industrial supplies, a quiet revolution has been taking place. Women across the hardware retail sector have not only entered this traditionally male-dominated industry but have excelled, innovated, and transformed it from within. From store managers who have doubled sales figures to entrepreneurs who have built hardware empires from the ground up, these modern-day heroines are redefining what leadership looks like in retail.

From family-owned hardware stores to major retail chains, women have proven themselves equal to every challenge this demanding industry presents. They have mastered complex supply chains, navigated seasonal fluctuations, and built lasting customer relationships while breaking through glass ceilings that once seemed impenetrable. These industry pioneers have shown that whether you are explaining the difference between Phillips and flathead screws or negotiating million-rand vendor contracts, competence transcends gender. Their achievements stand as testament to the evolving face of hardware retail. Take a look at what some of these remarkable women in the hardware industry have to say about their journey and impact.

Adele Baard, Timbuild SA

Adele’s business journey began in the late 90s when she ran the marketing department for her father’s four Timbercity stores in Gauteng. Her retail passion started early — sitting on tills as a primary school child in her father’s business. After earning a marketing degree in Cape Town, she served on the Timbercity National Franchise Committee, demonstrating strategic thinking in franchise operations.

Her hardware industry expertise flourished at Elliot (later Stein Build), where she spearheaded the BUCO brand rollout across former Elliot stores. She excelled at negotiating supplier deals, coordinating launch campaigns, and managing store openings — thriving under pressure and organisational challenges. After launching her own successful marketing company, Covid disrupted her client base. She then became instrumental

in building the TimBuild brand in South Africa, applying her extensive hardware retail knowledge and positive leadership style. Her decades of experience navigating franchise operations, supplier relationships, and brand development make her an invaluable asset to the hardware industry.

Designed for instant, high-strength adhesion, this powerhouse sticks heavy items to vertical surfaces without flinching. No slipping, no sagging. It is like a second pair of hands when working alone.

With its extreme initial grab, it is the go-to adhesive when time is tight and the pressure is on.

Bathrooms. We love them, but they come with a constant battle against steam, water, and — let’s face it — mould. Enter Sika Sanisil, the silent defender in every splashprone zone. Formulated with built-in antifungal properties, this silicone-based sealant was made for wet, humid environments. Think: shower corners, tile joints, and kitchen sinks. It creates a strong, flexible seal that stops mould before it starts, keeping spaces not just clean, but hygienically protected. It is a small detail that makes a big difference, especially when the goal is a bathroom that looks great — and stays that way.

THE STREET-FIGHTER

Some projects demand more than just a basic seal. Areas such as building façades — places where movement, weather, and wear are non-negotiable challenges. That’s where Sikaflex Construction Purform can take on any sealant pretending to seal well. This high-performance one-part polyurethane sealant is made specifically for movement and connection joints in concrete and masonry. Also, with Purform technology, it offers increased durability, UV resistance, and an innovative formula with ultra-low emission content. It is the professional’s choice when long-term flexibility and performance are critical, especially in exterior environments exposed to the elements.

SO, WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU USE?

• Big jobs, multiple materials? Go for Sikaflex-11 FC Purform

• Heavy-duty hold on vertical surfaces? You’ll want Sikaflex-118 Extreme Grab

• Mould protection in wet areas? Trust Sika Sanisil

• Durable, flexible joint sealing in construction? Choose Sikaflex Construction Purform.

Each one has its moment to shine. The key is knowing which sealant to reach for when the task demands precision, power — or a little bit of both.  If your clients choose the right sealant they will be protecting their work, elevating their finishes, and trusting their tools. And when they are working with over a century of Sika innovation, they are not just sealing joints, they are sealing the future of their craftsmanship.

BENEFITS

APPLICATION

Applying a regular plaster primer prematurely risks trapping moisture, resulting in peeling, blistering, weakened adhesion, and susceptibility to mould, efflorescence, or alkali damage. Prevent these risks by using OneForPlaster.

VERSATILE

OneForPlaster is suitable for: newly plastered walls, weathered plaster, fibre-cement, concrete, brickwork, and previously painted surfaces.

ENVIRO CARE

Duram’s new release is low-odour, low-VOC and APEO free, protecting your health and that of the environment. It is also water-based for easy clean-up without harsh chemicals.

TIPS FOR STOCKISTS

• Ensure your staff can advise on the difference between standard primers and this specialist new plaster paint

• To get the full benefit of OneForPlaster’s performance, it is important to assess the surface before you paint

• Fresh plaster or cement must be hard dried, free from defects and applied according to industry standards

• Test the surface with a moisture meter to ensure the moisture content is below 60% or press firmly with your finger — if there is an indent, it is not ready

• Any imperfections should be repaired using gypsum-free products

• Ensure that the cause of any waterproofing problems is eliminated before painting, and spot-prime all repairs with OneForPlaster

• Gypsum plaster, composite boards, soft or friable surfaces will require specific priming. Not suitable for floors

• Apply two coats at 8-10m²/litre per coat, depending on surface conditions. No topcoat is necessary.

Abel was part of the AfriSam family for 25 years and led the Gauteng sales team for the past 18 years with dedication, perseverance, and grit. More than a highly respected sales leader, Abel was a kind, generous and inspiring presence –always ready with a joke, always willing to give his time, and always bringing a warm smile and a positive attitude wherever he went.

Abel leaves behind his wife Violet and his four daughters, Tanaka, Vuyo, Cleo and Chelsea. Our thoughts are with them, and with Abel’s friends, customers, and colleagues across the country, as we reflect on a life that touched so many.

This tribute was shared with us by AfriSam, and we echo it as our own. The DIY and Industrial Trade News team, too, will miss Abel deeply. Those of us who had the privilege of interacting with him remember a professional who was not only committed to his work but who treated everyone with kindness, respect, and humour.

Abel will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

powafix ceo enters firstrand trans africa adventure

DIY and Industrial Trade News recently learnt about Gareth Cole, the CEO of Powafix, and his involvement in a gruelling cross-country cycling challenge in aid of charity. Intrigued by the idea of a CEO swapping a boardroom for a bike saddle, we reached out to Cole to hear the full story. What he sent us was more than his recap of a 12-day, 1 200-km journey – it was a heartwarming account of how individuals and corporates can make a difference.

POWAFIX

I first heard about Trans Africa in October last year. I was sitting in church when a promotional video for the event played. My wife Debbie turned to me and said, “You should do that — it looks like a great adventure.” That was all the encouragement I needed. I signed up immediately.

At the time, it was just a bike ride to me. But the more I learned about the culture, heritage, and impact of the Trans Africa journey, the more I was drawn into its 11-year legacy — and most importantly, into the lives of the children we were riding for.

The FirstRand Trans Africa Adventure (FRTA) is about standing in the gap for children who, through no fault of their own, are unable to help themselves. It’s about using what’s in your hands — your time, talent, and influence — to make a difference wherever you are, with whatever you have.

At its heart, FRTA exists to leave a legacy: to build a sustainable Education Fund that covers the schooling costs for both current and future children of Ingane Yami Children’s Village.

Each rider committed to raising a minimum of R20 000 to participate, seeking support from corporates, friends, and family — and

many even contributed their own funds. To every sponsor who backed a rider: thank you for believing in them.

Once again, FirstRand pledged to double the amount raised by our top three fundraisers. This added an incredible R395 450 to the total — helping us reach a net fundraising amount of R1 411 000.

These funds will be carefully managed by the Board of Restoration of Hope and directed into the EduFund, where they’re needed most. The children — and future children — of Ingane Yami will receive a better education, a brighter future, and the ability to shape their own paths.

Riders trained for over six months. They gave up family time, used annual leave, raised money, and dug into their own pockets when needed. They broke bikes. Some broke bones. But they crossed the finish line.

This event would not have been possible without our incredible support team of four, who travelled with the riders, gave up time with their families, drove their own vehicles (which took a beating!), and spent up to 10 hours a day caring for our cyclists. True servant hearts.

Behind the scenes, our admin, marketing, and DIY liaison teams worked tirelessly. You may not see them in the photos, but they were the engine room of the entire operation.

FUNDRAISING THROUGH THE YEARS

• 2014 – R450 000

• 2016 – R700 000

• 2017 (Spin-a-thon) – R280 000

• 2018 – R1 555 000

• 2021 – R1 820 000

• 2023 – R1 408 000

• 2025 – R1 411 000.

Total Raised: R7.3 million.

This total has far exceeded our original expectations and stands as a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when passionate people unite around a shared purpose.

One of our long-standing goals has been to elevate the visibility of Ingane Yami and draw others into its mission. Today, many of our sponsors continue to support the village in ways that go far beyond FRTA — a ripple effect that continues well past the ride itself.

Being part of this adventure — sharing each moment with such remarkable people — was a true privilege. The memories of these 12 days and 1 200km will stay with me forever.

I hope and pray that each of us finds our own way to pay it forward for the future generations of South Africa.

MY TRANS AFRICA JOURNEY BY GARETH COLE CEO

Excitement before the journey.

CONCLUSION

Gareth’s experience on the FirstRand Trans Africa Adventure is a reminder that real change starts when individuals step up, commit and most importantly care. With R1.4m raised in 2025 alone, and a cumulative R7.3m since the event’s inception, the initiative continues to prove that passion coupled with purpose can change lives. At DIY and Industrial Trade News, we believe in shining a light on corporate social investment (CSI) initiatives within our industry, especially those that inspire action and give back to the communities that support our sector.

As retailers, suppliers, and industry professionals, we are in a unique position to influence change, whether by supporting initiatives like this or starting our own. Stories like Gareth’s remind us that individuals and companies can be a force for good.

xplosion of power — vermont sales new must-see expo

After the success of their Open Day earlier this year, Vermont Sales has resumed its themed expos. The latest exhibition has turned up the voltage with it being all about power – literally. Running until the end of August at their impressive Midrand venue, Xplosion of Power is an ‘electrifying’ display of everything that makes Vermont Sales the powerhouse it is.

It is less ‘sales pitch’, more hands-on power tool playground. This is not another trade show — it is a no-pressure, fully immersive experience where tools speak for themselves, and retailers walk away with more than just a brochure.

A REAL-WORLD ANSWER TO AN OVERCROWDED MARKET

With an ever-growing number of power tool brands pouring into the South African market, it is easy to see why retailers and end-users alike feel overwhelmed. Price points blur. Product claims sound the same. And justifying a more expensive tool because it is ‘better’ does not cut it anymore. That is why Vermont Sales is doing something different.

This expo lets the tools do the talking. With their flagship brands on full display –Tork Craft, Festool, Magnum, Triton Routers, Aircraft, and the safety-first SawStop – the event gives retailers the chance to see, touch, test, and understand what sets each tool apart. You will walk in curious and walk out confident.

why retailers need to visit

Whether you are a store owner, a manager, or a frontline salesperson, here is what you will get from a visit:

See the full scope of Vermont’s power tool offerings in one place

Watch live demos and understand exactly what each tool is built to do

Handle the tools yourself – nothing beats personal experience

Appreciate the range and depth of Vermont’s professional tool lineup

Meet the real people behind the brand – from area managers to product specialists

Put faces to names you’ve only emailed or Zoomed with before

Tour the testing and QC centres and see Vermont’s commitment to quality firsthand

Understand the accessory ecosystem that supports every tool

Get a grip on after-sales support that goes well beyond the norm

See the full Vermont solution – from the tools to the service centre

Understand compliance and why it matters – Vermont Sales is 100% above board on imports and regulations.

In short, it is the kind of event that turns a ‘supplier’ into a strategic business partner. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

SMART RETAILERS SHOULD ATTEND

The expo gives retailers a rare chance to talk shop with decision-makers, troubleshoot challenges, and explore how to boost individual store performance. And for Gauteng retailers? The Vermont Expo Centre can double as your personal showroom. It’s that good.

This is one of those opportunities where everyone wins – retailers get to make better buying decisions, and Vermont Sales ensures it stays top-of-mind when those decisions happen.

Booking in advance is recommended, and refreshments will be provided.

Elite Star Trading: A smarter way to strengthen your supply chain

EST connects retailers with trusted suppliers, negotiates competitive pricing on their behalf, and backs this up with a range of support services – from marketing and training to operational tools. It is a simple but powerful way to remain competitive without losing independence.

One of the ways EST brings its value proposition to life is through its annual regional trade shows, held in Durban, Cape Town, and Johannesburg. These shows create the perfect platform for retailers and suppliers to connect face-to-face, take advantage of real-time show specials, and build the kind of relationships that drive long-term growth.

DIY and Industrial Trade News attended

Independent hardware and DIY retailers are under increasing pressure to deliver better prices, broader ranges, and consistent stock levels – all while keeping risk low and margins healthy. For many, the answer lies in strengthening their supplier networks through a voluntary buying group like Elite Star Trading (EST).

the Durban Trade Show at the Durban ICC in June and the Johannesburg event at Gallagher Convention Centre in early July –both of which were well supported, busy, and professionally executed.

To help boost attendance, EST hosted its regional annual general meetings (AGMs) for shareholder members at each venue, with presentations delivered by Louis Greef and Rob Suttle. These took place late-morning, resulting in a wave of visitors arriving just before the AGMs and staying throughout the day. The format worked well – giving suppliers ample time for meaningful oneon-one engagements with buyers.

In true EST style, snacks, tea, and coffee were available throughout the day, with lunch

provided – ensuring visitors were comfortable and had time to engage without rushing.

From our perspective, both the Durban and Johannesburg shows were an enormous success – with the Johannesburg show buzzing from start to finish. Several suppliers told us the Durban show delivered excellent results, including new store sign-ups and orders placed on the day – making the investment in attending more than worthwhile.

DIY and Industrial Trade News also had the opportunity to speak to a few exhibiting brands during the Durban leg. One such conversation – with Medal Paints – is included in the adjacent feature. It offers insight into how suppliers are supporting retailers during tough trading conditions.

EST continues to deliver real value to both retailers and suppliers – not just through pricing and support, but by creating real opportunities for connection and commercial success.

// One of the ways EST brings its value proposition to life is through its annual regional trade shows, held in Durban, Cape Town, and Johannesburg //

MEDAL PAINTS KZN – STANDING BY RETAILERS IN TOUGH TIMES

As seen at the EST KZN Trade Show

At the recent EST Trade Show in Durban, DIY and Industrial Trade News caught up with Allan Joseph, regional sales manager for Medal Paints KZN, to talk about the company’s ongoing success in the region.

This is what he had to say:

“At Medal Paints KZN, we understand that the current market is challenging – consumers are under pressure, and retailers are feeling the impact. That is why our approach is built on loyalty, listening, and local insight. We do not just sell paint; we provide a complete service package and value proposition that supports our retail partners through both the highs and the lows.

Every area is different, and so are the needs of the retailers who serve them. Whether it is demographics, local conditions, or project-driven demand, we work closely with our customers to tailor the right product ranges, pricing models, and merchandising strategies. There is no one-size-fits-all thinking here – only collaboration and customisation.

The market is more competitive than ever, with new budget brands flooding in. Many of these are unsustainable and disappear just as quickly as they arrive, causing disruption and confusion. When that happens, we are there to restore order – because our customers know we are in it for the long haul.

“As the largest supplier of paint by volume in the country, Medal Paints brings not only scale but also stability and trust. Retailers know we have been around for decades – and they know we are here to stay, through the good times and the tough ones.”

This localised and responsive approach to retail has helped Medal Paints maintain its momentum in the KZN region – even in turbulent times.

THE DIY DEPOT

big 5 construct south africa 2025

This June, Gallagher Convention Centre played host to the 12 th edition of Big 5 Construct South Africa — and it did not disappoint. The show drew industry professionals from across the country and beyond, with exhibitors kept busy over the full three days.

Running from 18 to 20 June 2025 , the event filled Halls 4, 5, 6 and the large outdoor area. The clever layout meant visitors had to walk through the outdoor section to reach the main halls, ensuring that every exhibitor got their share of foot traffic. It was clear from the energy on the floor that, despite a tight economy, South Africa’s construction sector is holding firm and looking to the future.

DIY and Industrial Trade News’ focus was on the local suppliers – those brands and manufacturers that serve both the professional construction industry and the hardware retail trade. The main interest was especially on those exhibitors whose products cross over between contractor and DIY use, offering real sales potential

for our retailer readers – both in-store and on-site.

It was encouraging to see how busy the show was. Local and international brands were out in force, showcasing everything from tools and building materials to specialist solutions for construction, manufacturing, and retail. For retailers and distributors, it was a great opportunity to catch up with suppliers, scout new product ranges, and get a feel for what is driving demand in the months ahead.

One of the key features of the event were the Big 5 Talks, offering more than 15 free CPD-accredited sessions on everything from architecture and concrete technology to sustainability and digitalisation. The

sessions were well attended, with practical takeaways that resonated with professionals looking for real-world solutions.

Running alongside the main event was the South Africa Infrastructure & Water Expo, a strong new addition that zeroed in on infrastructure and water management – topics that are increasingly central to national planning.

Overall, Big 5 Construct South Africa 2025 lived up to its reputation as the construction industry’s leading trade show. For hardware and building supply retailers, it was a real chance to connect with the local supply chain, stay on top of international trends, and identify the next big sellers for their stores.

Making the correct choice between a Flap disc and a grinding disc

Flap disc, or grinding disc?

DIY projects are satisfying—but today’s abrasive aisle can feel daunting. Ranges have multiplied and different‑looking products often claim to do the same job.

The first step should be to consider safety. Superflex cutting and grinding media are manufactured and tested to meet oSa (Organisation for the Safety of Abrasives), EN and ISO 9001 standards, and every label clearly shows the relevant compliance and suitable application

Next, match the product to the material and the work to be done, then consider the desired finish. Although products may deliver similar results, these will not be identical, as each brings its own benefits with abrasive technology constantly evolving.

Grinding discs have always been the long‑time go‑to for aggressive stock removal. Superflex 115x6.5x22.23 AS24/30T Industrial grinding discs are built for maximum removal, with far less emphasis on final surface finish—ideal for knocking down big welds or removing heavy metal fast. For non‑ferrous substrates, Superflex 115x6.4x22.23 CS24T Stone discs level high spots in concrete, stone and masonry quickly. Expect speed, economy and outstanding life.

Flap discs are a newer coated‑abrasive development that’s now a staple in most hardware stores. Compared with conventional grinding discs they’re easier for novices, less aggressive on initial contact

and lighter—reducing operator fatigue. Removal is gentler, but the finish is much smoother and more refined, leaving less post‑grind rework.

Superflex flap discs offer a tiered approach from Evolution to Premium, available in multiple sizes, grits and grain types with two key options: Aluminium Oxide (red‑brown) for lighter‑duty jobs on steel and wood; Zirconia Alumina (blue‑green) for heavier‑duty work on mild, carbon and stainless steel, also suited to wood, plastics and other substrates.

Because they balance removal and finish, flap discs offer a one step alternative to a two‑step application, grinding and finishing in one application.
