Rooted in Legacy, Driven by Innovation
About us
Our history lies on the shoulders and learning from experiences of numerous family established businesses dating back to the 1970s. Our particular foundation date back to 2003 with the founding of Black Coffee Trading by Kern and Dale Boucher, who are International Relations and Commerce graduates. The primary business activity was the sourcing, design, importation and distribution of mainly clothing items from across Asia to our home market of South Africa.
As a wholly owned family business, we have transformed and combined the many business and professional experiences from within the family and across different industries into what is today Linksme Africa. Today we have investments and operations across a range of exciting industries in South Africa, The GCC and recently in the Philippines .
