Stephan Colle, our founder and chairman, passed away peacefully in the early hours of Monday, 4 May 2026, at his home, surrounded by his family.
Stephan built Belgotex South Africa from the ground up, not just as a business, but as a community of people bound by a shared commitment to quality, integrity and human connection. He had a rare ability to think big while remaining deeply grounded and genuinely interested in the people around him.
His passing leaves a profound void, but his legacy is alive in this organisation. We extend our sincerest condolences to his wife, Anne, his children, Edward, Helen, and Alice, the extended Colle family, and all who knew him.
Stephan's legacy lives on in every person he shaped, every relationship he built, and every step taken on a Belgotex floor.
We are grieving this loss together and deeply grateful for Stephan’s life, leadership, and legacy. He leaves behind a remarkable organisation and a standard of thinking big while remaining grounded and human.
Evan Lockhart-Barker,
Belgotex CEO

Thirty years. That's how long Tarkett iQ is built to last. 💪
ㅤ
For floors going into hospitals, schools and high-traffic commercial spaces, that number matters more than almost anything else on the spec sheet.
ㅤ
@tarkettofficial iQ Technology is scratch resistant, stain resistant and surface-restorable, and is made with 25.5% recycled content. That’s the lowest circular carbon footprint among homogeneous vinyl floors.
ㅤ

How do you balance durability with comfort in a commercial workspace?
ㅤ
In this Transnet office project in Johannesburg, designed by @osmondlange , an existing building was reimagined into a contemporary working environment.
ㅤ
Belgotex’s Grid carpet tile was specified, along with Aqua and Westminster broadloom, to create a layered, cohesive flooring solution. The result is a space that meets the demands of a high-traffic office while introducing warmth and texture underfoot.

This is about courage. The kind that arrives early, trains harder, and never backs down.
It’s about strength, not only in the body, but in the belief that you belong.
Every pass, every tackle, every goal is a statement: that women’s sport matters, that these moments matter, that she matters.
Because out here, they’re not just playing for today. They’re playing for every girl watching from the sidelines,
every young athlete finding her voice,
every future still waiting to take the field.
Play for her.
