OK FOODS MATHANGENI CREATES 70 JOBS

MBABANE – As it keeps spreading its wings, more jobs are created. This is none other than Linac Investments. On Thursday, Linac Investments opened yet another fully fledged OK Foods retail shop at Mathangeni, Matsapha. The shop is trading as OK Foods Mathangeni.

The shop, which was officially opened by the Minister of Commerce Industry and Trade Mancoba Khumalo, brings the number of fully-fledged OK shops under Linac Investments to seven. According to Linac Investments Executive Director Lincoln Motsa, the opening of the shop created 70 jobs.

He went on to disclose that the company now employs about 500 emaSwati. The others are employed at OK Foods SouthGate (Ngwane Park), OK Foods Manzini (President Centre), OK Foods Mhlaleni, OK Foods Logoba, OK Foods Mbabane and OK Foods Kwaluseni.

Motsa went on to tell the Times SUNDAY that the newly opened shop had all service departments which are Fruits and Vegetables, Deli, Bakery and Butchery. He further said the advantage of the OK Foods Mathangeni was that customers would be given Loyalty Cards through which they will save money each time they buy at the shop.  He said each time a customer buys; he/she saves 1.0 per cent of the total purchase.

Meanwhile, Motsa thanked emaSwati for their unwavering support ever since he ventured into the retail business.  He attributed his success in business to the support he had been afforded so far. “I salute the spirit of emaSwati and I am happy that they are increasing the ‘Buy Swazi’ mantra.” He said it was the support of local businesses by emaSwati that would alleviate poverty and create wealth. Motsa said the support of local businesses would go a long way in stimulating the economy because the money will circulate locally.
