Our Journey

The Flepu Hardworkers story started in 2003 when entrepreneur Vuyisile Flepu took the decision to establish his own business.  Flepu Hardworkers saw the light.  The business kicked off with twelve employees, including his wife, Sindiswa.

Setting up Flepu Hardworkers was not easy.  Mr. Flepu had to raise the start-up funds to cover the employees’ wages, uniforms, transport, training, etc. and his house served as the office.  Mr. Flepu, however, was a devoted employer and never stopped working hard because he knew it was not going to be an easy journey.  He worked with his team to make sure that they deliver good quality work and meet production targets.  He also recognized the importance of training regarding the execution of the work as well as safety for him and his employees.  Throughout these difficult times Mr. Flepu was diligently supported by his family.

It all paid off as the first breakthrough came during 2007!  MTO approached Mr. Flepu and asked whether he would consider working with them because they saw the company’s potential and they liked the quality of his work.  Mr. Flepu grew his company and extended from twelve to twenty four employees.

During February 2015 the business was formally registered as Flepus Hard Workers (Pty) Ltd (Reg No. 2014/251851/07).  The company has two directors namely, Mr. Vuyisile Flepu and his wife Sindiswa.  The directors have equal shareholding.  Since then the business kept on growing and currently employ more than 120 employees.

Jennifer Majola, Qaqamba Bolo and Yvonne Flepu, Mr. Flepu’s daughters, play an active role in managing the business.  Jennifer is the Administration Clerk, Qaqamba the Operations Manager and Yvonne is the HR and Finance Manager.

The employees of Flepu Hardworkers are treated with respect and dignity.  They are equipped with the necessary training, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment.   Although they are working hard as a team, they also often relax together as a team.
