About usBuilt on a belief in transformation
Mabhena Textile Creations is a Mpumalanga textile manufacturer supplying workwear, PPE and upcycled products to industry, schools and communities across South Africa.
From a workshop floor to a trusted supplier
Mabhena Textile Creations was founded in 2020 by Zakhele Mabhena, a serial entrepreneur from Mpumalanga, when he partnered with Sasol to sew masks for communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
What began with masks grew into a manufacturer of PPE, workwear and upcycled school supplies. In 2021 we joined Sasol's Upcycling PPE Project, receiving used PPE and remaking it into practical, affordable goods.
Zakhele is a self-taught sewer who now uses his craft to upskill unemployed community members. Today we are a preferred PPE supplier in Mpumalanga, growing steadily as a sustainable manufacturer across South Africa.
At Mabhena Textile Creations we believe transformation happens outside of your comfort zone. That drives us to keep pushing our business to sustainably transform itself, and the lives of others.Zakhele MabhenaFounder & CEO
