MANZI Water opens two additional outlets to serve more communities amid ongoing water shortages.
“Given the challenges we face regarding access to water in South Africa, MANZI Water remains dedicated to providing a reliable source of safe, clean drinking water to those who need it,” said Alfred Challis, CEO of MANZI Water.
MANZI Water notes with concern the ongoing water crisis plaguing South Africa, particularly the water shortages affecting key areas in Gauteng, and calls for greater collaboration in addressing water shortages when they arise.
In recent months, various MANZI Water businesses have been affected by recurring water shortages. Despite these challenges, the business has remained focused on ensuring that its customers and humanitarian partners are served in the best manner possible.
“It is a challenge to ensure that we meet surges in demand when they arise. This has meant that we have had to prepare ourselves to be resilient during times of high demand,” he added. “We go to great lengths to maintain adequate stock levels when water outages occur in the various locations where we operate. This has required sourcing water from one service point to supply high demand in another, allowing us to serve our customers to the best of our abilities,” he continued.
As a rapidly growing player in the prepared water industry, MANZI Water has recently opened two additional retail outlets in the Tshwane area. The opening of these outlets, in Mooikloof Village and Silver Mall in Silverton, indicates that the growth of the MANZI Water family shows no signs of slowing down, despite challenges posed by water shortages and various maintenance issues affecting water supply.
Furthermore, MANZI Water is in the process of opening another outlet at Waverley Plaza, Waverley, which is set to launch in October 2024.
The business was founded in 2023 by a group of experienced entrepreneurs committed to serving clients and making an impact on their surrounding communities. With over 300 employees across its various outlets, the company actively strives to contribute substantially to local economies by creating job opportunities and ensuring a stable source of income for hundreds of families across South Africa.
