Anolabex

South African registered company credited as exclusive licensor on the late Riky Rick's Sony Music Africa releases; ownership unconfirmed.

Based in
Rivonia, Gauteng, South Africa

Anolabex (Pty) Ltd is a South African-registered company (CIPC No. K2018226235, incorporated 28 March 2018, registered address in Rivonia, Gauteng) that functions as a rights-holding and licensing vehicle. Phonogram credit lines on recordings by the late South African rapper Riky Rick (Rikhado Makhado), released through Sony Music Entertainment Africa, name Anolabex as the exclusive licensor.

Ownership is not independently confirmed. Business-registry listings name Bianca Jade Naidoo as an officer of the company; Naidoo was widely reported in South African press as Riky Rick’s partner, but no primary source states directly that Anolabex holds his masters on behalf of his estate.

The company has no confirmed website and no public-facing presence beyond registry listings and release credit lines.
