Bafana Udhyog

Bafana Udhyog is located at Plot No. 227 within the Gidc Estate. We’ve been operating out of this unit for quite a few years now. It’s a standard industrial space with high ceilings and a concrete floor that’s seen better days. We do a lot of small-scale production here. Usually, the machines are humming away by eight in the morning. It can get pretty hot in the afternoons, especially in the summer, so we keep the big side doors open to catch a breeze. We have a small crew of workers who live nearby. Most of them have been with us since we started. We aren't trying to be the biggest company around. We just want to do a decent job and keep the orders moving out the door. The office is just a partitioned area in the corner with a glass window so I can see what’s happening on the floor. There are always stacks of crates and raw materials waiting to be used. Sometimes we run out of space and have to stack things outside under a tarp. It’s a bit of a squeeze, but we make it work. Every Friday we spend some time cleaning up the scraps and oil spills. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy. We don't do anything too complicated, just what we know. People know they can find us here if they need something made.
