SimplyBiz, powered by Nedbank, is proud to announce the nine exceptional entrepreneurs selected for the Flowcode Programme — a 12-month strategic journey valued at R200,000 per business. These are not beginners. They are builders, operators, and resilient leaders who’ve already weathered the “washing machine” of business — the cycle of growth, collapse, growth, collapse — and are now ready to scale with intention.
The winners are:
- Institute of Management Accounting – Nkosinathi Thela
- Sancadia Motor – Abdool Hoosen
- Decon Motor Spares – Bongmusa Hlongwane
- Sami Hall Studios – Sami Hall
- Muranda Mambo – Leslie Kasinganeti
- Z & Z Ngogodo Incorporated – Zintle Ngogodo & Zimkitha Mthethwa
- K. Chakane Maintenance and Construction – Anna Chakane
- Ideation Lab – Joel Maine
- Toro Holdings – Gail Wilsnach
These selected businesses kicked off their journey at the Make Strategy Happen Workshop in Gauteng, where ideas became action and strategic clarity replaced the chaos of rapid growth.
Why Flowcode? Because scaling shouldn’t feel like survival.
Flowcode is far more than a course — it’s a combination of a scale-up methodology, a business operating system, and specialist coaching designed specifically for established businesses working to grow without losing control.
According to the Flowcode methodology (as highlighted in the brochure):
96% of businesses never surpass the USD 1 million mark, and Only 0.4% ever exceed USD 10 million in annual revenue, because most get stuck in the “valley of death” — a breakdown point where growth outpaces systems and leadership capacity.
Flowcode was created precisely to solve this problem.
What Flowcode gives these entrepreneurs
Based on the Flowcode brochure, participants receive:
- A proprietary strategy framework that breaks big vision into step-by-step, executable actions.
- Powerful software that acts like “a mentor in your pocket,” helping teams prioritise, action and track strategic execution.
- A Flowcoder coach — a trained specialist who supports strategy formulation, alignment, and accountability.
- A complete business operating system to improve control, reduce chaos, and enable smoother scaling.
These tools address nine core business challenges, including poor decision-making, misaligned staff, weak execution, and the constant firefighting that drains entrepreneurs.
Designed for the stalwarts — the ones ready for their next big leap
Flowcode is ideal for businesses that are:
- About to scale,
- Already scaling but experiencing turbulence, or
- Stuck in the exhausting “grow-collapse” loop.
It is not an OKR system, not a diagnostic tool, and not a programme you “just attend.” It is a living, evolving business system built to support day-to-day strategic execution and long-term scalability.
What these entrepreneurs can expect over the next 12 months
Using the Flowcode methodology, each entrepreneur will work through:
- Strategy formulation — defining a clear, actionable long-term direction.
- Strategy synthesis — aligning the team and strengthening buy-in.
- Strategy extraction — translating intention into sequenced actions.
- Strategy allocation — assigning tasks across the business.
- Strategy management — using software tools to track execution.
- Strategy communication — ensuring every team member understands the mission.
It’s a holistic, structured way to stabilise, scale, and even prepare the business for future sale — all benefits highlighted in the Flowcode documentation.
A powerful journey ahead
These nine entrepreneurs now begin a transformation that will ripple through their teams, communities, and industries. With Flowcode’s proven methodology — which has helped Raizcorp triple in size and its investee companies quadruple without falling into the valley of death — they’re stepping into a future built on clarity, control, and scale
