Mr. Shaniel Behari has been listed among Banking on Africa’s Future (BOAF)’s 10 000 luminaries who inspire the continent’s development through his showcase of entrepreneurial exploits in the metal engineering sector.

The Managing Director of Induction Foundry Technologies (IFT), which specializes in Ferrous and Non-ferrous metal castings, Mr Behari successfully runs the family business which provides steel related solutions especially to mining and manufacturing clients in and outside South Africa.

Induction Foundry Technologies deals with Cast Iron, SG42, and various grades of steel including Manganese and High Chrome Steels.

On the 3rd of May 2021, BOAF, an 1873 Network initiative will induct him as one of the 10 000 Points of Light which refers to individuals who are recognized as shining examples in their respective communities and industries because of the great work they do to raise the continent’s flag high.

The induction ceremony, a collaborative initiative of BOAF, Connections2Communities (C2C) and the Africa Heritage Society will be held at The ROYAL INDIA RESTAURANT located on No.2 Maude Street in Sandton, Johannesburg at 6pm in the evening.

BOAF -10,000 Points of Light Director, Mr. Singh, described Behari as a thoughtful, organized and opportunity seeking individual and added that his induction into community of exemplary light bearers will help inspire others to want to be engaged in solving the problems of our time.

The 1873 Network is a member-based not-for-profit organization established in South Africa, founded to provoke, inspire and ignite new and innovative ways of problem solving in Africa based on connected, equipped and forward leaning voluntary actors.

Singh described the steel industry as an important sector when it comes to reshaping Africa to what it should be and highlighted that so much can be achieved if industry players can collaborate on setting up a foundry and choose to work together.

He extended his welcome to Behari who together with his wife are both members of BOAF, which Singh termed as the unique bridge to wealth creation (Bridge2Wealth) that is founded on the cardinal and well established principle that your network defines your possibilities in life.

“I am exceptionally pleased that Mr. Behari has embraced this initiative and more importantly that he and his wife have their shoulders on the wheel on this noble project. This is after all a project to build community power to solve human problems.” Singh said.

He also added that being part of 10,000 light bearers in any community gives each member the reach that no single individual, however gifted can possess in a day which limited to 24 hours for everyone.

“If you want to go further, always choose to walk with others. This can do attitude is rare to find when people have become so negative and cynical about the promise of working together to get ahead faster and more efficiently.

For example, I recall Mr. Behari sharing his company’s challenges of procuring virgin or scrap steel without knowing that I am connected to steel suppliers.

If mutuality and power of numbers work for me based on value propositions, I then I am confident that Mr. Behari has already reaped worthy returns from his mind-shifting engagement that I had with him and Mr. Mawere.

As the 1873 Network, we believe that economic freedom can best be won by free persons through a voluntary market system based on value exchange and we also believe that shared knowledge and experiences can shift perspectives and paradigms towards an inclusive Africa.

It doesn’t matter and shouldn’t matter what the color of the cat is as long as it does the job at hand. Mr. Behari’s chosen field to solve problems is in the steel value chain.”

In acknowledge the recognition, Mr Behari said: “I am humbled by this honor. I am extremely excited to be part of this initiative as I believe that each of us can be light to others.

Although life has taught me taught me that not everyone has the greater interest at heart and some are only in it for self-beneficiation, I will never give up on humanity and the power of the human spirit to live up to the promise of positivity.

I believe in this initiative and have no reason to doubt that with me in it, it will bridge me to better things in life.

Since meeting Mr. Singh on 4 April 2021, a day proclaimed by the Africa Heritage Society as JJ Singh’s Appreciation Day in recognition of his contribution to building community power to problem solving, my network has expanded qualitatively and quantitatively.

I am glad that my R1000 a paid up membership fee in this class of 10,000 actors that I am now part of will play a part in making Africa a great continent that it is meant to be.

It is an honor to have been nominated to be part of the BOAF initiative and I see it as an opportunity to improve not only my life and business but also the lives of others by sharing ideas and partaking in projects setup by members of the BOAF and also growing the BOAF brand.”

Ms. Janice Greaver, a Management Consultant and member of C2C, AHS and BOAF said: “Initially I was not clear as to what BOAF is all about. I have personally come a long way.

I now believe that I would rather be a candle in a circle of 10,000 candles than be a solo candle trying to be visible and impactful. Now I understand that the first step is to choose to be member of BOAF and in so doing be eligible to be included in the Hall of 10,000 POLs.”
