Card Top Accent Gradient

Every card on cedec.africa carries a 5px top bar transitioning from CEDEC Gold (#F2B233) to Copper (#C8622E).
CEDEC Night Radial & Linear Field

Zero external web fonts. Fast and private by design.
CEDEC properties deliberately load no third-party font files or CDN scripts. Visitors' browsers contact only the CEDEC origin, protecting privacy and ensuring instant rendering over low-bandwidth links across the SADC region.

06 · Brand Architecture, Pillars & Voice
Six engines, mutually reinforcing, under one Sawubona standard.
When writing or designing for any CEDEC subsidiary, programme or presentation, use the canonical pillar numbers, titles and ownership terms below verbatim.
IKS, Pharma and Bio-Innovation
Available natural resources
Agro-processing of South African medicinal plants to grow local pharmaceutical manufacturing, rooted in indigenous knowledge systems.
ICT and Digital Industrialisation
Global demand
Smart manufacturing, AI and IoT platforms, secure communication (CEDEC Meet, CEDEC Workspace, Secure Comms as a Service), enterprise incubation, and track-and-trace systems.
Energy and Green Economy
Existing offtake market
Local biofuel from agro-processing and industrial waste, renewable generation, and community energy cooperatives.
Automotive and Industrial
National priority
A Soweto automotive supplier park, renewable natural-fibre bio-composites, and black industrialist development.
SME Scaling and Skills
Cross-cutting
SME acceleration, township retail digitalisation, skills development and aggregation so small enterprises reach markets they could not reach alone.
Youth and Higher Education
Youth enabler
Supervised work experience inside real enterprises at no cost to the young person, a university-industry nexus, and campus Venture Labs.
Ownership & Governance Standard
Sawubona. We see you.
Every CEDEC operating subsidiary carries the same three-part ownership architecture: 01 Employee Ownership Trust, 02 Community Trust, and 03 Social Innovation Fund. Named individuals and ownership percentages are never published on public pages without explicit corporate decision and consent.
Official Boilerplate Copy
One-paragraph description
CEDEC — the Catalytic Economic Development and Equity Corporation — is a registered South African development company that builds operating enterprises across six pillars, from medicinal plants to secure digital infrastructure, and writes the workers and communities who generate the value into the ownership across South Africa and the SADC region.
07 · Using the Mark Correctly
Clear space, minimum size, and non-negotiables.
The CEDEC mark is simple enough to survive at 16px on a browser tab and bold enough to anchor a 2-metre banner. Follow these rules so every placement reads unmistakably as part of the same group.
Minimum 0.5× mark height on all sides
Clear-space & minimum-size specification
Below 120px on screen or 30mm in print, drop the wordmark and use the standalone mark or circular badge (`cedec-mark-badge.svg`).
Keeping the identity sharp
Four rules to follow, four traps to avoid
- Always use the Reversed (
-dark) lockup on Night (#0B1F2A), deep slate or dark photography. - Always use the Colour (
-color) lockup on Warm Paper (#FFFDF9), Sand (#F6EFE2) or white paper stock. - Always keep the open C-arc rotated at
-150°with rounded stroke caps and the solid Gold core centred. - Always use the 1-colour Black or White masters for embossing, laser engraving, rubber stamps and single-plate print.
- Never rotate, mirror or close the C-arc into a solid ring.
- Never recolour the gold core or set
.africain arbitrary colours outside the four official colourways. - Never add drop shadows, bevels, outer glows or unapproved gradients to the mark or wordmark.
- Never embed third-party web fonts, trackers or external runtime scripts on a CEDEC web property.
