Making his own work

Last year Sipho Tubu attended a three-month provincial government brick-making training programme in Grahamstown. Now he runs his own brick yard providing bricks and blocks to local residents and has already produced 1129 blocks. Sipho and Son Brick and Block Project is based in Stil Street, Zwelihle. Two hand machines are used to produce the cement blocks. Two friends help him on a part-time basis, and he has been able to offer three women part-time work as well. He set up the business with his own savings. You can contact Sipho on 073 017 7199.
