A renewed Level 1 Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) rating reaffirms Quintica’s deep-rooted dedication to transformation and inclusive growth, ensuring its continued contribution to a more equitable South African economy. 

Strategic Shareholding Enhances Black Ownership 

30 June 2025; This remarkable achievement has been significantly bolstered by the company’s recent strategic shareholding engagement, which has meaningfully enhanced black ownership within Quintica. This not only strengthens our BBBEE credentials but also positions us as a preferred partner for key vendors and clients, particularly within the public sector, demonstrating our deep commitment to black empowerment at a fundamental level. 

Holistic Transformation Across All BBBEE Pillars 

The attainment of a Level 1 BBBEE rating is a result of a comprehensive and dedicated effort across all pillars of BBBEE. Beyond the impactful shareholding changes, Quintica has made significant strides in: 

• Enterprise and Supplier Development: Actively partnering with and fostering the growth of smaller black-owned entities through mentorship, skills transfer, and preferential procurement practices. 

• Skills Development: Investing in the skills development and growth paths of black individuals within and outside the organization, contributing to a more skilled and empowered workforce. 

• Management Control: Increasing black representation at all levels of management, reflecting a truly diverse and inclusive leadership structure. 

• Socio-Economic Development: Contributing meaningfully to initiatives that uplift and empower black communities. 

Leadership Perspective: Transformation as a Business Imperative 

 “Achieving a Level 1 BBBEE rating is not just a compliance exercise for Quintica; it is a deeply held commitment that permeates every aspect of our business. We firmly believe that genuine transformation is integral to the sustainable success and growth of our company and the broader South African economy. “Achieving this level once again reflects the dedication of our entire team and the positive impact of our strategic decisions, including our recent empowering shareholding engagement,” says Saki Missaikos, Quintica Group CEO. 

A Transformative Journey: Hlayi Mkhombo’s Story 

To celebrate this announcement, we spent the morning with Hlayi Mkhombo, whose progression from Associate Consultant to a leadership role exemplifies our dedication to nurturing talent. From a move that took him and his family to Dubai for 13 years to his current role back in South Africa as Sales Director for Africa — our commitment to Hlayi has been truly transformative. We couldn’t be prouder of his journey and the positive transformation it represents. 

Hlayi’s vision aligns seamlessly with Quintica’s recent Level 1 BBBEE rating, positioning the company to drive meaningful change across the continent. “This is the time for Africa to lead, not follow,” says Hlayi, Quintica’s Sales Director for Africa. 

Hlayi Mkhombo’s appointment as Sales Director for Africa in 2024 marked a pivotal moment—not only in his career but in Quintica’s transformation journey. His recent acquisition of shareholding in the South African business underscores the company’s commitment to real, substantive change. “Becoming a shareholder wasn’t just a milestone for me—it was a testament to Quintica’s belief in empowerment beyond titles,” says Mkhombo. “My stake in the business reflects my dedication to our mission and the tangible impact we’re driving.”

In Closing: 

Quintica’s commitment to transformation resonates deeply with Hlayi’s personal mission—to ensure that others are given the same opportunities he was given. Passionate about mentorship and coaching for up-and-coming talent, he noted, “Africa is very close to my heart; that experience taught me that talent exists everywhere, but opportunity doesn’t, and I wanted to be a part of changing that.” 

By investing in people like Hlayi and empowering them to drive change, Quintica demonstrates a commitment to inclusive growth and long-term sustainability. Their Level 1 BBBEE rating makes them attractive partners for investors seeking to align with responsible and ethical business practices, especially at a time when political and economic uncertainties are top of mind across the world. 

Quintica remains steadfast in its commitment to continuous improvement across all BBBEE pillars and looks forward to building on this success to create even greater opportunities and contribute to a more equitable and prosperous South Africa.
