It's only been a few days since the Buy Local Summit & Expo but we're already looking forward to the next one!  #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere

The panel discussion has commenced. Unpacking the study we have Proudly SA CEO - Eustace Mashimbye, Executive Director of the National Clothing Retail Federation (NCRF) - Michael Lawrence, @IDCSouthAfrica Head of Research and Information - Pamela Mondliwa and Director of Research within the SA Clothing and Textile Workers' Union (SACTWU) - Simon Eppel. #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere #LSF

Considerations/recommendations for government, retail and manufacturing. 1. Consumer protection and fair trade policy. 2. Import processing and revenue collection. 3. Integrate mandated localisation policies. #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere #LSF

This is a disruptive change in the local economy value chain. That isn't just happening in South Africa but across the globe. It took brick and mortar businesses 13 years to get to the figures that e-commerce retailers have reached. #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere #LSF

Up to 35k jobs will be impacted by Shein and Temu by 2030, or R 6,23bn in local manufacturing sales. #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere #LSF

2,818 manufacturing jobs didn't materialise due to the impact of Shein and Temu's presence in SA's CTFL sector between 2020 and 2024. #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere #LSF

The study focused on three key main questions in order to put together the study; 1. What is the size of the disruption? 2. How does this impact the local industry? 3. What can we learn to improve our local e-commerce platforms? #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere #LSF

Good morning Mzansi! The Proudly SA team are at the @IDCSouthAfrica for the reading of the report commissioned by Proudly South African in conjunction with The Localisation Support Fund (LSF) on The Economic Impact of Offshore e-Commerce on SA's Clothing and Textile Sector. #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere #LSF

Let's build a future where every woman can rise, TOGETHER, says @ngi_happy #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere #achievementalleygroup

If you're not intentional about inclusion, exclusion becomes automatic, says @ngi_happy #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere #achievementalleygroup

Give access to others. The pie is big enough for all of us. @ngi_happy #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere #achievementalleygroup

@ngi_happy says that we have the responsibility to take women along with us to the top. We've opened doors, but not enough women walk through them freely. @achievementalley #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere #achievementalleygroup

In a world still catching up to gender equity, Proudly SA CMO @ngi_happy is lighting the way. As she addresses leaders at the Visionary Women Summit @achievementalley, she’s unpacking The Emancipation of Women in the Workplace: Leave No One Behind. A call to create space for every woman to rise. #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere #achievementalleygroup

Local never looked this good! We took some of our member décor brands to @decorexSA. Giving them the spotlight to wow, mingle, and bag a few new clients. #Decorex2025 #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere

We walked the talk the Proudly South African way! #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #LovedHereMadeHere #702WalkTheTalk #702WTT #DiscoverFreedomPark

The Local Wine Expo was more than just a showcase; it was a celebration of South Ahh, our people, and the stories bottled in every sip. Over three incredible days, we laughed, learned, discovered new favourites, and toasted to the passion of local winemakers who pour heart and heritage into every vintage. Thank you to everyone who showed up to sip, support, and celebrate homegrown excellence. The future of local wine is bright! #LocalWineExpo2025 #LovedHereMadeHere #BuyLocalToCreateJobs #prisonbreakmarket
