Sibongile's flower power

SIBONGILE'S FLOWER POWER

Sbongile Mbonambi is a very talented woman who does an unusual job - she makes flower arrangements. Sbongile uses artificial flowers, she buys ribbons and pots and she makes a beautiful flower arrangement out of it.
She decorates for weddings and other special occasions like Valentine's day. She works in her backyard. Sbongile can be reached at CC3348 Area 4 Cato Crest.

MAPHOLOBA'S WOODWORK

Moses Ngcobo is a very old man who knows what he is doing. Moses has never bought a cupboard or a coffee table in his life because he makes them himself.

THOKOZANE'S PANEL BEATING WORKSHOP

Did you just smash your car and you are not covered by any insurance scheme? Perhaps your car is getting rusty and needs a new coat of paint?
Thokozane's Panel Beating Workshop
Thokozane is your man. His workshop is in Jamaica where he lives. He has been injecting a new lease of life into most cars ever since the settlement began. To get to his workshop, make enquiries with anyone in Jamacia. He is well known.
Ntonto's Curtain Designs

NTONTO'S CURTAIN DESIGNS

Ntonto Ngcobo from KwaMasixhawulane House No 16 has no reason to be bitter about losing her job. She has enough skills to survive.
She has set up a small but good business making curtains, duvets, chair bags, beautiful animated door stoppers and bed frills. Because Ntonto realises that her business is growing everyday, she has decided to attend business skills courses offered by the CMDA. Ntonto works alone and has two machines that she bought with her severance package. She can be contacted at 261 4215.

LINDIWE THE FURNITURE QUEEN

Lindiwe needs no introduction to the Cato Manor community. She has been making furniture for more that five years.
Lindiwe The Furniture Queen
The only difference is that she has moved her business from her house in Cato Crest to a bigger workshop that she rents from Kuphuka in Merebank. Lindiwe manufactures beds, wardrobes, built-in-cupboards and many more wooden products. If you require her service contact her at 462 0299.
Mthanti's Steelworks

MTHANTI'S STEELWORKS

Old man Mthanti can't remember the last time he worked under somebody. It has been ages since he became self-employed. Years ago he used to concentrate on selling ready made goods, but nowadays he manufactures goods to sell.
He makes gates, burglar guards and pot stands, but his speciality is making gas cookers of any size. Should you wish to hire or buy one, visit him at his workshop at the back of his house at House No 23 Horley Close, KwaMasixhawulane.
