Too many South African businesses and institutions are forced to juggle multiple, disconnected service providers — one for media and communications, another for property, another for accounting, another for skills development — losing time, consistency, and quality control in the process. At the same time, the country faces a widening skills gap in media and content industries, with too few accredited, practical pathways for young people to enter the sector. CHIH Group solves this through diversified, integrated excellence. Rather than being a single-service provider, we operate eight specialised subsidiaries — Chaval Publishing, Chaval Communications, BLS Kitchens & Furnitures, CCR 247 Radio, Pasturelands Properties, VBC Accounting, Chaval Pictures, and CHIH Investment Management — giving clients access to trusted, high-quality expertise across media, property, finance, and enterprise under one group, with the reliability that comes from shared standards and unified leadership. On the skills side, we're closing the talent gap directly through the Chaval Foundation NPC and the CHIH Media Training Centre, building an accredited, industry-aligned pipeline of media practitioners.

Our clients are institutions and enterprises that need dependable, professional partners across media, communications, property, and financial services — organisations like Parliament of South Africa, Eskom, Bidvest, Oaktree People Solutions, Hoyohoyo Hotels and Resorts, and BizBuddy SA, alongside government departments, corporates, SMEs, and property investors seeking institutional-grade execution.

I founded CHIH Group in 2011 from a single media venture, drawing on a career built inside national broadcasting institutions — Soweto TV, Y-FM, the Sowetan, and the SABC — that gave me a first-hand understanding of how media, communication, and enterprise intersect. That same instinct for structure was there from the start: the original portfolio-holding blueprint for CHIH Group was drawn during a university assignment in 2003, long before it became reality. Today, each subsidiary is led and staffed by specialists in their field, united by one group standard of execution and accountability — which is why institutions with zero tolerance for inconsistency trust us repeatedly.

We have grown from one media venture in 2011 into eight fully operating subsidiaries.

Chaval Publishing has published over 100 titles, including my own bestseller GET UP AND RUN, approved by the Department of Education for Grade 8–12 learners and Department of Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation.

CCR 247 Radio evolved from a backroom pilot station distributing CDs to Gauteng taxis in 2016 into a fully live digital radio station by 2022 and now reaching 600 households globally via Alexa.
