NHLAMULO Tyres is the fastest growing company in Thulamahashe, Mpumalanga.
The company is run by two brothers Ezekiel Mathebula (55) and Kaizer Mathebula (48), who have since hired three more workers due to an increasing number of customers.
Their company specialises in fitting tyres, wheel balancing and alignment, car service and selling used tyres and brand-new ones at affordable rates.
Ezekiel said they started the business in early 2021 after both of them lost their jobs due to retrenchment as a result of Covid-19 pandemic.
"We started small, but the business is booming tremendously. Our busy days are Mondays and Wednesdays, and we are receiving big support and orders from various customers including taxi operators, trucks and ordinary motorists, especially females. Our prices are affordable. Our tyres fitment is R70, wheel balancing or alignment is R50, and car service stars from R250, depending on the vehicle," said Ezekiel.

"We are proudly family men. We always push hard to ensure our kids go to school and never go to bed on hungry stomachs," he said.
Ezekiel said he managed to send two of his five kids to university, and they are both studying engineering sciences. Kaizer's daughter is also a university student. She's studying for bachelor of education.

"This is a good job they're doing for us. It saves time and petrol. We no longer have to travel to Hazyview, about 70km away, to service our cars," said one of their happy customers, Sidwell Mgiba.
