Initiative and roles
Pretoria Labour Hire leads, owns and operates Pretoria East Crew and is responsible for its membership decisions, commercial administration and activities. GrimByte Systems is an independent technology services provider supporting the Crew; it is not a founding Crew associate, has no PLH ownership or profit share, and does not manage PLH membership funds or projects.
Eligibility and approval
Future applicants provide CIPC confirmation, a valid business website, all public business social accounts, a business WhatsApp or mobile number, a PDF company profile, a description of services and capabilities, and the professional contact details of a senior representative authorised to speak for the company. Applicants confirm they have permission to provide these details and that the named representative may be contacted about the application. PLH reviews applications manually. Submission or payment does not guarantee acceptance.
Fee and renewal
The standard fee is R500 per month excluding VAT. After approval, PLH supplies a unique reference and instructions for a client-arranged recurring electronic bank payment due on the 3rd for the month ahead. PLH records and reconciles payments in QuickBooks.
Cancellation and non-payment
A business may cancel with 15 days' notice. It remains listed until the end of the paid month, receives no pro-rata refund and does not renew. Non-payment may result in immediate listing removal. Historical project credit remains attached to projects completed while membership was active.
Accuracy and media
Businesses remain responsible for the accuracy of submitted information and for having authority to supply their company profile and senior representative's contact details. Providing documents or contact details does not authorise automatic public publication. Only separately approved listing information may be published; material with unclear rights or accuracy may be removed.
Collective credit and Spotlight
A Listed Member is an active paid directory member. A Contributor Member is a Listed Member that also provides additional funding, labour, material, equipment, expertise or public visibility. Every active paid member on a project's completion date receives collective credit. Contribution amounts, methods and internal classifications remain private unless expressly approved. Spotlight placement adds visibility but does not replace collective credit.
No performance guarantee
The platform does not guarantee enquiries, sales, rankings, project selection or business results. Visitors contract directly with listed businesses.
Exclusivity and professionalism
During an active subscription, members may not maintain a paid listing on another platform whose main purpose directly competes with Pretoria Labour Hire's local-business directory. Own websites, social accounts, marketplace pages and ordinary advertising remain permitted. The rule applies only to the extent permitted by South African law. Members must avoid conduct reasonably likely to harm the group's public reputation.
Suspension and changes
Pretoria Labour Hire may review, pause or remove a listing for non-payment, serious inaccuracy, unlawful conduct, substantiated complaints, rights/privacy violations, safety concerns or serious unprofessional conduct. Material term changes should be communicated before affecting an existing paid period.
Privacy and governing law
Personal information is processed under the privacy notice and applicable South African law. Pretoria Labour Hire is the subscription provider and responsible party. Any provision that cannot lawfully apply is limited only to the extent required by law.
