8. Rationale for the Acquisition
The Acquisition will unequivocally place Go Life at the forefront of the healthcare
industry in its focus areas. Go Life has taken the initiative to differentiate itself from
other healthcare providers in South Africa by being accessible, innovative and
affordable for each segment of the South African market.
The Sportron range of products is a perfect fit in the cutting edge technological
sphere in which Go Life operates, being nutraceuticals. Sportron boasts a range of
nutrient formulations which are among the best in the world. Go Life will seamlessly
incorporate the Sportron range into its existing range of well known, tried and tested
products to create a collection of products for all members of society. This will place
Go Life in the midst of the lower and higher end of the market with product ranges
for South Africans from all walks of life.
AHD is expected to be the most promising prospect of the Acquisitions as it boasts
an established and ever-growing network of direct sales representatives. It is
anticipated that this network will dramatically escalate the sales of Go Life’ existing
product range. The aim is to grow this existing network to make a difference in value,
in contribution and in perspective of each South African sales representative within
the network.
Further to the South African network, there is an additional network of direct sale
representatives operating in Nigeria. This opens Go Life to a market of 196 million
people who are in dire need of accessible and affordable healthcare and
supplementary health products.
Go Life anticipates to incorporate the trademarks and patents vested in Heritage
Resources into the existing collection of Go Life trademarks and patents and will
better leverage the potential of the product ranges across the Go Life group of
companies.
Consumer Brands will give Go Life the opportunity to pioneer the health sector by
incorporating well known household South African brands into the existing ranges.
This will familiarize the market with brands within the Go Life range that may not be
as prominent as the brands within Consumer Brands but work as well. Go Life will in
essence become a trusted brand amongst South Africans with the incorporation of
Consumer Brands.
Supply Chain will focus all the brands and ranges in Go Life in one stream as it is an
established manufacturer of nutritional supplement, herbal and homeopathic
medicines. There will be no need for Go Life to outsource manufacturing of its
product ranges and it provide Go Life with a solid foundation to drive the market
with its new and focussed vision.
Chempure brings about a new era for Go Life where the group can procure,
analyse, research and develop new products. This also provides the prospect for Go
Life to enhance the existing products across all the ranges.
