Led by Siyabonga Fortuin, with collector know-how
Siyabonga Fortuin leads SA Heros Comics with a clear focus on local stories, steady service and practical collector support. He keeps the shop grounded in what South African comic fans actually need: honest advice, careful handling and a range that makes room for newcomers as well as long-time collectors.
He spends a lot of time listening to what customers want, whether they are building a first shelf of comics or protecting a long-held collection from humidity, dust and rough handling. His approach is simple, and it suits the way many collectors shop in Cape Town and beyond.
We treat every comic like it matters, because for collectors, it does.

Mpho Dlamini on collectables and careful selection
Mpho Dlamini is the Collectables Specialist, and he brings a careful eye to figures, display pieces and collector items. He pays close attention to condition, packaging and presentation, which matters when a customer wants something for display or long-term keeping.
Mpho is also the person people turn to when they want help deciding what fits their collection and what should be stored rather than handled too often. He understands that some items are for everyday enjoyment, while others need to be kept safe from sun, damp and accidental wear.
Leandri Zietsman keeps customer care personal
Leandri Zietsman leads Customer Care and handles the kind of follow-up that makes a difference when you are buying from another city or placing a repeat order. She manages customer questions with patience, and she knows how to keep communication clear when an item needs extra care or special delivery instructions.
She is often the link between the store team and the customer, especially when someone needs help with courier delivery, safe packing or a small change to an order. Leandri keeps things practical, and that suits collectors who just want straight answers.

Thabiso Ndlovu handles grading checks and submission prep
Thabiso Ndlovu is the Grading Coordinator, and his work is all about preparation and accuracy. He helps customers with grading guidance, pre-submission checks and the small details that can affect how a comic or collectable should be packed and handled before it goes off for assessment.
Collectors often have questions about cleaning, bagging, backing and storage, and Thabiso keeps that advice grounded in practical steps rather than guesswork. If an item needs to stay flat, dry and protected against coastal moisture or transport damage, he will help you plan for it properly.
Imraan Majiet manages online orders and safe delivery prep
Imraan Majiet runs Online Orders and works closely with the rest of the team to get parcels ready for courier delivery across South Africa. He pays attention to packing, labels and the movement of stock from Observatory to customers in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria and Gqeberha.

Zinzi Khumalo coordinates community events and helps keep the local collector scene active. She works on event packages, collector consultations and community-facing activity that brings collectors together around South African superhero comics and collectables.
